then try some of these or try searching for some yourself, it is not a new concept and is well researched.

Oh i know what confirmation bias is but i do not believe it  is a deciding factor for these matters .

very strange opinion given such a site would require people to somehow get past confirmation bias and somehow come to subjective conclusions when we know humans generally are not capable of doing that. Just about any controversial topic from Musk to Trump will result in people on both sides of the debate completely unable to evaluate facts in an unbiased way and what you will end up with is whichever side has the greater numbers will twist the numbers. As others have said they are welcome to try but I would happily put a decent sum of money on it failing badly.
