Cognitive problems behind the technical revolution of block chain

[jumping out of the enclosure, looking at the world of coin circles from a general perspective]
Friends call me, recently you see your circle of friends when you say block chains when you say digital money, what are you doing? I said I didn't do anything, I just thought about some chain projects.
He asked me what the chain was.
Oh, what is the block chain?
I was like a bull B, cracking for 10 minutes, has been from what underlying technology, decentralization, distributed storage, asymmetric encryption, irreversible and so on nonsense, the other side only returned to me three words, "do not understand" I was easily defeated.
How can you not understand what I am talking about for more than ten years? If I don't understand it, I will always worry about it with suspicion. This will make people vomit blood!!!
Old fellow iron, whether also encountered such a matter, was asked by the other side without a word?
Since that time, I began to think about the problem of cognition. There are two main points about [cognition]. First, once human cognition solidifies, it is difficult to change. This is caused by human laziness, because once people break through the old cognition, they will break the old order of life, break the old order and have to be rebuilt. This will bring a lot of trouble. Second, the cognition between people has arisen. Differences will form a gulf which is difficult to communicate, and finally form antagonism and even conflict.
So the birth of block chain is not only a technological revolution, but also a cognitive revolution.
The consequences of this cognitive revolution can be large or small, small changes in industry rules, large changes in the international order, and even social conflicts can lead to social unrest and war. At present, big powers are busy locking money, and small countries are busy making money, which indicates that the international war has escalated.
Cognition, it does not have much to do with our educational level, IQ level, it is only related to recognize or not know, know or not. For example, if a college student has never seen an elephant, and you try to explain to him how the elephant is, he can't understand it. On the contrary, if a child has no knowledge but actually sees an elephant, you can communicate with it smoothly.
Cognition, it has little to do with a person's life experience, it is also because the post-Internet era of the bull is often very young, but very few experienced elderly people. This is the question of cognitive differences.
A few days ago, a popular saying on the Internet: It's not your IQ problem, but poverty that limits your imagination. You have never seen an elephant before, how can you imagine it?
This is how cognition determines value.
A new cognition is hard to build, and breaking through the original cognition is more difficult.
On the question of cognitive limitations, Chuang Tzu cited a very extreme example. He said that there was a country of summer insects, which came out in spring and disappeared in summer. Because there was no winter in its world, ice could not be seen.
So you can never convince people who have never seen ice before that there is ice in the world.
This is the story of [summer insects can not speak ice].
Back to the origin, how do I tell a person outside the circle, what's the devil about the block chain?
An engineer working on application design for block chains told me that block chains are the underlying technology that you can't understand when you're talking a lot of technical terms to others.
For example, automobiles, ordinary people only need to understand that cars have engines, wheels, a steering wheel, and then refueling will run on it, as to how the car is made, how the engine works, that is a professional thing, you say no more is useless. Even that infrastructure doesn't have to know, as long as you know that the car is a new type of transportation, it can make travel very convenient.
The same is true of the block chain, which is a fresh elephant made by generations of engineers. You just have to tell people how the elephant can be used, how it can be used, and what effect it will have after using it, so that others will understand it. After understanding, we can say, what is the use of elephant legs, what the nose has and what Ivory is used.
What is the block chain?
The Block Chain is a true record of the Earth's production/labor/cooperation/distribution/trading and personal rights and interests.
Just one account book?
Is the account so important?
Accounts are bookkeeping. Computers are computations. Who knows how important computation is?
This is the difficulty of cognition, because this cognition will connect a series of cognition.
