pPluralityBook nishio and Glen Weyl collaborated on the mapping of keywords and page numbers in the index using Google Spreadsheet. The main contents are as follows

• Created a mapping to change a person’s name from “first name, last name” to “first name, first name”.

• Unify aliases of the same person. For example, Curtis Yarvin and Mencius Moldbug are the same person, so they are written as “Yarvin, Curtis (aka Mencius Moldbug)“.

• Unified abbreviations and formal names. For example, “GPT” was merged with “Generative pre-trained transformer”.

• Fixed case distortion.

• Unify plurals and singulars. For example, merge “social network” and “social networks”.

• Ensure that movie, book, and magazine titles are in italics and article titles are in quotation marks.

• Final confirmation of the notation of terms related to China.

• nishio and Glen Weyl used Spreadsheet to streamline these tasks and worked together to improve the quality of the index.
