Well, my solution is not trying to solve humanities problem you know, it's just trying to solve my own problem. And I'm just guessing I'm not the only person who has this problem.
So how to vet people? Well, Paul Graham started a VC company and has seen a lot of startups, so my guess is that he knows a lot about the topic. More so than anyone who hasn't come close to any startup.
On (game) development, I would go for Carmack and the likes.
And of course just like PageRank, if they have vetted for certain people, those also get scored.
Does it lead to your own bubble? Of course! But if you're going to get a religious person to dump his own religion in favor for another, good luck to you. But that's not the kind of problem that I want or need to solve.
I just want reliable information. And I get to decide what "reliable" is. If you're a flat-earther, you can vet any crazy person you wish. I don't care, because it won't affect me at all.
