- Every month, the team at Celebrity Fanalyzer hosts an essay and/or art contest. There is a Prompt on the subject of a celebrity - and participants give their opinion. It's that simple! - Prompts - introduce a topic and - Entries - are where thoughts are shared and discussed. -
-All submissions, artwork and essays, are originals.
-- Celebrity Fanalyzer is the first iteration of a multi year endeavor to produce an - anthroscope. - “And what”, you will certainly be asking, “is an anthroscope?” -
-- An - anthroscope - , like any scope (e.g., telescope, microscope, oscilloscope, etc.), is designed to give its users the capacity to view something - with new perspective. In the case of this application, the specimen under investigation is society and that new perspective is - the distribution and variety of opinions held within it. The prefix “anthro” being borrowed from the Greek word “anthropo” - meaning human. -
-- To function as intended, Celebrity Fanalyzer will use modern statistics, artificial intelligence, and big data to produce - visuals reflecting the opinion scape of any particular topic. The team collectively refers to these visuals as anthrograms. - Anthrograms should, if done properly, make obvious the inherent biases of any - one - opinion and, from this new perspective, a user should be able to infer their own truth. -
-- Celebrity Fanalyzer cannot produce anthrograms in its current form. To do this, a technological solution which scrubs user data - of all identifiers, is necessary. In fact, Celebrity Fanalyzer is one of few applications THAT DOES NOT WANT YOUR PERSONAL DATA. - Ultimately, our goal is to launch the application behind a custom built anonymizing reverse proxy we call “Layer 8.” Once - launched, this specialized server will scrub all personally identifying information from incoming traffic and thereby - ireversibly separate a user's - online - identity from their - true - identity. -
-- Following the launch and debugging of Layer 8, Celebrity Fanalyzer is to be recast as a general news website entitled “Globe & - Citizen.” Though following approximately the same mechanics as Celebrity Fanalyzer, Globe & Citizen is to be an anthroscope in - the fullest sense: by coming preconfigured to receive only anonymized user data, it will immediately produce anthrograms that - users will hopefully find both insightful and beautiful. Globe & Citizen, unlike Celebrity Fanalyzer, will deal with topics such - as climate change, inflation, COVID vaccines, and much more because, for obvious reasons, the Internet needs an anthroscope. -
-This is “why.”

We would love to hear from you! Celebrity Fanalyzer is a work in progress. If you want - to get involved in shaping the future of the application, reach out to us via Discord: -
