What is a korrent?

A korrent — “current”, with a K — is our reading of what someone said: one sentence, drawn from their own words below. People put the same thought in different words; a korrent tries to name the thought they share, so that what several people mean can be set side by side, and followed as it changes.

It is an approximation, and it is ours. The quotes are theirs, word for word, and where the two differ, the quote is the fact. Read more →

Pieter Levels 1 Sept 2026

In most of the world there is: no real willingness to solve problems nor an acceptance of people offering to solve their problems (out of pride) simply too much regulation so the problem cannot be solved without a license or long approval time very low standards of what is deemed acceptable so the problem isn't seen as a problem in the first place
