I think we need both. A controlled narrative but also other wikileaks subjects.  And for that we need more divers...  Wikileaks is millions of docs deep.  So there is a LOT to write about.  Those with knowledge of Syria should indeed get on top of that! 

That said it would maybe be good to have a more narrowed down subject for the next challenge, though seen the wide range of topic in the leaks it also could leave many important topics untouched?

I often think it would be cool to do a team effort on a specific subject, but then again the people who feel like not being informed enough on that topic may NOT take part in such a challenge?  How can we get all those people on board who said they wanted to do a deepdive.  I really would like to see a few of them have a go at whatever subject they feel comfortable about.  

What about overlapping DeepDives?  One DeepDives with a certain direction and one that spreads into all corners of corruption.  Though many would like to do both and i'm not sure if thats possible as one dive consumes a lot of 'oxigen'.

And from that perspective overlapping could be a bit problematic.  Still i'd like to share the idea. Maybe someone knows a path down the middle?

I am interested in the deep dives but I haven't quite found a topic to explore! I have tried several but nothing really pans out. I'm trying to stick to ones that aren't popular like Syria and stuff but am having difficulty coming up with a topic. I think, at least for me, having to dive through a vast archive like Wikileaks is daunting until you gain some traction with your thoughts.

Did it blow your mind how many people on Steemit believed that qanon horseshit?

Some still do - I always wonder if this stuff is produced by shills or morons...

And then all the EOS is awesome bullshit too - do you still believe in EOS?

There were people who bought that cheap in March and sold it at the end of April - chuckles to self :)

Great idea mate :)

Righteous anger is often where we must turn to not feel overwhelmed. It is disheartening once one begins going down this hole to realize decade after decade many have tried to stop this, to spread awareness and yet here we are, further under their thumbs with most still ignorant. 

I hope you sleep well my friend.

Yes! I agree 100%. Obviously, I don't think #deepdives / @deepdives has reached its full potential. Funny enough, I've been mulling over finally launching a research challenge that is more Directed/Guided/Focused research (ie: Syria, Human Trafifcking, etc) for our upcoming challenge. 
Some synchronicity perhaps? 

 It's certainly always been something that we intended on including in our research challenges but we've been happy with the wide open format til now. 

If there are any subjects/topics/themes that people want to do a deep dives on, please let us know in the comments anytime!

Cheers
