IDEAS BEHIND EOS BLOCKCHAIN GOVERNANCE AND CONSTITUTION
In this video we discuss some of Dan Larimer's thought provoking ideas behind blockchain governance, creating a meaningful blockchain constitution, property rights as a peace treaty, and Dan's mission to discover free market solutions for securing life, liberty, and property.
Dan intends to create a system of governance that is voluntary and non violent for the EOS blockchain. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Wow, thank you for cutting the information together.
I've also had this idea for a while, of course when i came up with it there was no blockchain yet. Of course i believe that ideas dont just come from our minds, so often many are tuned into the idea, but only a few figure out how to make it a reality.
Thanks for this, i'll defintly follow this idea and try to help it grow. I was actually even planning to do a video on the idea soon, just wanted to build up to it since im still not getting much attention yet.
Keep up the good work.
Ideas come a dime a dozen @howwerroll and just like you said "only a few figure out how to make it a reality" so lets help develop these ideas with healthy debate and not waste time by signaling that we think the same. Thanks for your comment. Keep KaBOOMIN over there!
Oh I have more ideas. A few i hope to make a reality some day. Main one is i want to give nature a value to counter the value of cutting down forests. Imagine if all those tribes that still lived in the amazon, were made ruch in a way, just for protecting their land? We could give them the power they need to fight the corporations trying to take their land. It would make wood harvesting obsolete, forcing paper industry to use things like hemp.
thank you for this, i will defintly comply with this concept and try to assist it develop i was sincerely even making plans to do a video on the idea quickly
Wao, beautiful idea for securing life and liberty, Thanks for sharing friend,
I like your beautiful idea.
That's really really thought provoking questions. I never had interest in a blockchain constitution as I had believe so much in a decentralized kind of platform where the members makes the laws and do what they think is right. But with happenings all over Steemit, I have come to noticed that people cannot just be allowed to self governed themselves, as most of the time our selfish and greed makes up jump into what you mentioned in your video as 'might is right' therefore, they will be need for a certain level of guides and constitution to shape our engagement and behaviours in a community base platform to ensure it's sustenance.
On the issue of @dan's vision of a system of governance that's both voluntary and non violent, I will want to see how this goes. Since I haven't read the two articles where he talked about his vision and plans, I won't have much to say. But will take a deeper look into those two articles, then I'll be able to contribute on that matter.
I think the flaw is in our monetary system. It doesnt reflect value correctly. There are many things that add value to our world and steemit, that are not reflected in our current profit driven value system. Such as not cutting down a forest, sure we create lots of red tape, we protest, but the value still is in chopping it down to take the resources.
Same goes for greed, we've created an incentive for people to be greedy, rather than helping eachother.
Deep man. I agree with Dan Larimer. The people create the rights, not the government, and we extend power to an imaginary organization called the government in order to uphold the rights agred upon by the people.
I have been binge watching your vids today, trying to learn more...thanks for helping us minnows make sense of this exciting new world.
Many people, myself included, have tried to define ethical behavior in terms of "rights". After wrestling with this concept for a long while, I finally realized it presented unnecessary difficulties, because we have no consistent sensory-based definition of "rights".
A simpler and more direct approach can be derived by defining an objectively valid ethic and using it to define acts that are ethical. A good example: An act is ethical if it increases truth, awareness, creativity, or love for at least one person, including the person acting, without limiting or diminishing any of these resources for anyone.
As shown in the link below, this ethic has many desirable logical consequences. It also makes the task of writing a good constitution much easier than otherwise.
In an article that I am currently composing I will provide 3 examples of such constitutions for consideration by the EOS team.

One consideration, when considering the content of a constitution, is simplicity and conciseness. Here is an example of a very concise "Code of Honor" that could form the basis of an ethical constitution.

Here is another possible template for an EOS constitution. More detailed and comprehensive than the one above, it contains, as a logical subset, all of the suggestions that William Edwards Deming gave the Japanese in 1950 - the suggestions that led to the extraordinary success of Japanese industry.

My third exemplar of an ethical constitution is the Constitution of Titania - a borderless domain characterized by the ethical commitment of its members. Based on the Bill of Ethics defined above, this constitution illustrates how the reasoning can be applied to any number of organizational challenges.

Will be EOS the platform that could give us the most beautiful approach of anarchocapitalism?
Blockchain. EOS on NEO instead of as ERC20. Monero with AML/KYC.
