Ivory Towers and Contingency Plans (Fighting the Groupthink Knock Out)

in #life5 years ago (edited)

Reading is Fundamental.
Problems seem to arise when the disconnect between the powers that be and the "normies" hit a tipping point that can't be ignored anymore. Usually we see this in Governments and the glaring discrepancy between those running in circles on the countless pages of jargon of a law being passed and losing sight that outside their shiny doors there are homeless people huddled on the steps.

The Ivory Tower is good at perennial war than not providing promised benefits or proper healthcare for those who are cycled through the cannon of "Offensive" strikes over and over again.
This happens on platforms where things are anything but decentralized across the board yet it's touted as something non-Byzantine.

"Oh hai, Everyone is buying this totally centralized ICO where it's pre-mined and manipulated so you will never be one of us and like 1% holds like 86% of the tokens! Everyone is doing it. Come on get in on the hot action. Don't you trust me?"

I read a lot and think even more and beyond that I live within my means and make quite a few contingency plans and "bug out bag" moves. It seems more and more apparent this disconnect runs through the veins of everything and perhaps that is the nature of "the beast". Groupthink and a herd mentality is a large part of why things are the way they are so.......

A trustless system should not mean that morals and ethics are thrown out the window for a quick buck that for most never comes. If the intention is something other than what it is being touted and the collateral damage is everyone is either too myopic or lazy to see that even the names of some rather shady things translate directly into even shadier things..... than the trickster has indeed perfected his art.
