‘Veritula’ is a difficult name, people don’t know how to spell or pronounce it. They can’t easily remember it.

Idea: ‘The Second Renaissance’, ‘2nd Renaissance’, ‘2R’ for short.

‘Renaissance’ isn’t exactly easy to spell either.

Idea: ‘Reason Arena’, ‘RA’

I like something with ‘Arena’ because it would imply action, some ideas winning out over others, and has a Darwinian aspect to it. Our best ideas are the tentative champions in the arena of ideas, waiting for the next challenger.

I have largely inexplicit criticisms of the word ‘arena’ in this context, but one that bubbled up to the explicit level is that the word reminds me of Pokemon for some reason 😅

What is wrong with Pokemon? 😂

Doesn’t sound as serious/legitimate as I’d like in this context.
