RE: The Future of Steemit
I disagree. Anarchy can only exist with ethics and voluntarily agreed upon codes of conduct. Otherwise, anarchy dissolved into despotism, which requires additional revolutions to undo.
The definition of ANARCHY is having no rules. Once you have rules, its no longer ANARCHY.
That's not true, no rules mean chaos. If you research anarchy it is basically a small governing body where everyone has a right to vote. I read, and I can't remember who wrote this, true democracy is anarchy. We can have an equal vote on what rules to follow and apply this to our community.
Right. now huge investors have a large vote compared to others here on steemit. That is not anarchy, it's a Plutocracy. That's taken from what I've studied a little bit, I am not an expert on these issues.
Has it ever occured to you people that this site MIGHT just be an elaborate social experement on human behaviour in a non advertising platform? Contemplate this.
Yes, a variety of experiments are going on....
Visit golos.io Its a russian mirror of steemit EXACTLY THE SAME LAYOUT. This is an MI6/MK ukltra CIA NSA KGB NKVD combo psyop test for humanity. Open another tab and use google translate to navigate through golos.io Both run better under Firefox versus windows platform, btw. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. You can find me there using my same name on steemit. I found it to be a very good site, btw. Исследовать Голос

Thank you! Yes and Inc so curious how anarchy can solve from Plutarchy dilemma!
Democratic anarchy can solve the Plutocracy problem. All the pyramid structures would be destroyed when citizens can vote on how their communities and business are run. That's why the rich and power hungry love centralized governments and having a few people own all the wealth and assets. It's hard to control small self governing communities and small businesses.
I think direct democracy could destroy Plutocracy. But than means everyone must be involved and educated on the issues that concern their community.
When ever humans get together we have to have some rules, heck even nature has rules.
You are welcome, the thing that is good about the net.....tons of data to sift through and compare! I love doing that...
anarchy means no rulers. not no rules.
Just stating this again does not make it true.
From Wikipedia
Anarchy literally means 'no rulers'.
Dictionaries are hard. I get it.
Without rulers- who enforces the rules? why have rules, if you beleieve so much in anarchy?
The community enforces the rules, my hunter gather ancestors just tossed the person out of their tribe when they wouldn't or couldn't get along with everyone. The people would decide. Even nature has rules like cause and effect. Codes of conduct are important...Is it okay for someone to steal what you have or murder whomever they want?
In anarchy- yes. Im trying to find a job now, but refuse the offers Im getting from boeing, Lockheed Martin and others. Because I dont want to be employed in the DOD murder instustry. If you kill one person- youre a murderer. If you kill 50- youre a serial killer. If you kill 15,000- your a top military brass. If you kill over 1,000,000- then you get your picture front and center on US and other world currencies. Understand how it works now? The hunter gatherers are gone- displaced by the organized and civilized, who eithr enslaved them or just masscered them for their resources. RESOURCES = WHAT EVERYONE IS FIGHTING OVER. OIL, money, votes on steemit, labor, drugs, technology, raw materials. Can I get a witness?
Voluntarily accepting a set of behaviorally norma doesn’t contradict anarchy. Just visit a rainbow gathering sometime.
There is a rather large flock of wild feral hippies who thrive in the Ocala National forrest in Florida. They have their kids their and live off the fat of the land. The Game Warden and others have failed utterly at removing them. I say live and let live. They arent hurting anyone, but I need a refridgerator and ice and air conditioning in my old age. A quality high speed internet connection, running water and electricity is something they have learned to exist without.
We all follow rules anyways....lolol, we are not aware of them. It's called conditioning. People that are aware of this blind conditioning take advantage. But everyone has different kinds of conditioning so you will get all sorts of disagreements regarding rules of order. You get a psychopath involved in anarchy you will get a plutocracy, he will gather all his minions, form monopolies and take over your little economy and this will spread like a virus throughout the land until only a few psychopaths own all the assets and control all the power.
That's what happened to American's Democratic Republic, which isn't like a true democracy, which every one has the same power when it comes to their vote.
I like to break or bend the rules. I bought this electric smoker from Lowes a few months ago and it explicity says "outdoor use only", but it got rained on and I like it so much, because it only uses 1100 watts of electricity and it takes about 4-5 hours to smoke a ham or turkey to PERFECTION. 5hrs @ 14 cents per Kwh= 77 cents to smoke a turkey or ham. A bag of charcoal is almost $10-20 US, and the cost savings is paid for it already. I used a new 4" aluminum dryer duct to vent the smoke from the wood chips ($4.95 a bag, and smoked over 15 hams and turkeys for the holidays) in the comfort of my home- even when its raining outside. When Im done smoking the meats, I empty the drip pan over my dogs food bowl, and roll it into the laundry room and store my smoke vent on top of it. sometimes the rule NEED to be broken for process improvent and assymetrical problem solving. I put a moist washcloth around the top of the exhaust vent and no smoke comes inside. Look at that 20lb turkey in there. MMMM.
Dont worry, dandelion, the effects from the mushrooms will wear off in a few hours, and you might be able to understand who pays for the servers and bandwidth and other costs of keeping a web platform like this operating. Its not trolls, fairies or magical unicorns. ITS WHALES.
Let's do a little thought experiment!
Whales invest in Steemit for profits. We can see from BTC in the last 6 months that the best way to profit from investment is capital gains. If you'd bought BTC in May at $1k, and sold at $20k, you'd have made 20 times your money.
Whales on Steemit aren't getting that from mining the rewards pool, but they are managing to keep retention down to ~10%.
Steemit is how the market for Steem is grown, it's special use case. By doing things that will retain users on Steemit, the market for Steem will grow, and upwards price pressure will apply to Steem.
Capital gains for investors will be the result.
However, driving 90% of users off the platform YOY will cause the price to stagnate, and eventually go to zero.
Then investors will have all the Steem, and it will be worthless.
This matters.
@haejin doesn't.
Hahaha and whales can be trolls or faeries, benefactors or abusers. It’s up to them, and everyone else, to discover way too move thru this territory.
Without steemit's content creators there would be no steemit....so let the big investors pay for the overhead when no one wants to use it anymore.
