RE: A mind-bending adventure of what we can learn from Michael Jackson
i like how you start with a general topic, very conversational, and then a bigger meaningful post comes out of it.
I do think most nerds work like the algorithms they write, in a very logical, non-emotional process which shows in the decision making. Whereas, most corrupt practices in the world, that are there as a result of 'strategic' thinking, require a street smartness absent in the average nerd. There will always be marketeers, orators who may have more sway than logical statements made by a nerd.
because artists are faces that have influence but the thinking is someone else's. nerds may replace them, but power hungry, eager to influence the world for their own selfish benefits, strategic thinkers may continue to have influence for public for a long time, even in decentralized world, at east in the beginning. I hope the future after that is same as the idea you just painted.
ya!! it's not always intentional, sometimes it is or partly is, sometimes I'm just posting the low content thing and then it goes there -_-
ya I think nerds will always matter, but it's both. nerds will help build bridges, and build the algorithms that work best for society and things like that. but art and creative stuff matters more than now.
with nerdiness and strategy there are the white hats like you and me, but then there's the banking system too. the black hats can scale back all the way, and then in turn there isn't as much need for the white hats spending energy countering them.
another thing I think about is when you get rid of "intellectual property" i.e. people being paranoid of how to make money off of their art, it's easier for nerds to be artistic. I might not be Elton John, but maybe I can play around and make some sick remixes and things like that.
well whatever it may be, the content i have read is good and worth the time i spend on it. makes me think.
i feel that unfortunately like us, who want decentralized systems, there are plenty of those who want centralized systems - not just black hats but those that prefer black hats over the nerds. and centralized in terms of ownership under the legal framework - that leads to power and money, not something simply validated by 5 to 10 nodes.
I certainly think there will certainly be less centralization in the future, since techies are building that world now, but just as there are people who prefer ordering food online, there will be people who enjoy going to a grocery retailer to pick food as it is a meditative experience for them. but yeah, definitely, i feel people who do not prefer centralized systems will have many more avenues in the future and there will be a platform for everyone who want to avoid obeying to the elite and succumbing to their rules. YouTube being centralized did that for so many people. I wonder what DTube or something similar can achieve.
awesome! I really appreciate that, and appreciate all your great comments and feedback.
ya, there are a lot of people who like the control structure and want things to stay how they are and all that. I don't think they matter too much tho, because the decentralized solutions are more powerful. so we don't necessarily need that many people, they get quickly convinced when it's practical and they see the practical incentive.
