Idea of “Riskipedia”, or “Wikichance”


The main idea is a wiki-like website where one could find out information about common risks and probabilities, for personal risk management and decision making. For example, what's the chance of dying of COVID, given all personal circumstances? Or, how much health risks would be decreased when quitting drinking / smoking, etc... Or, what's more dangerous -- flying or driving? Or, what's more profitable on average -- lottery or startups? There is a trove of such information online, bu it's scattered and badly organised, and every time I try to check to find a better and safer options, it's too hard. Would such wiki / service be viable?

I run a hosted wiki service[0]. You could certainly try it out for a couple weeks and see if you get any traction.

Running a magazine-style blog would be better than a wiki IMHO. Wikis are often drab and dry and often seen as academic which is off-putting for people. A blog is more exciting!
