Should Exist is a public, anonymously-contributable catalogue of things people have said should exist, practical requests, historical visions, scientific questions, possible institutions, fictional possibilities, that preserves each idea's source and compares it against what already exists. The independent (beta) project of psychologist Marc Egeth, it finds related ideas and surfaces what remains unmet, then links to its companion Joycotter, where account-linked ideas gain ratings, "Beans," and conditional "joycott" commitments toward making them real.
