RE: Why the Whale War might be good for Steemit
oh @troglodactyl I neglected to address your opening line directly.
'your reasoning is that you don't trust stakeholders to act in ways that support growth'
I object to being placed in a situation where I need to trust. If people are being transparent I do not need to trust them, because I know what is happening. When people are making secret deals with one another in private, they are doing that for a reason, so why would anyone trust that?
Networks and societies always require trust, it's just a matter of how much we can distribute and manage that trust to make sure the costs of being untrustworthy are high and the rewards of being trustworthy are attractive. We obviously want to avoid having to trust people to act in our interests at the cost of their own.
hey @troglodactyl thanks for replies. I really appreciate your approach. I like this sentence ' We obviously want to avoid having to trust people to act in our interests at the cost of their own.'
imho The way the rules are changed and the way decisions are made right now is putting people in a position of needing to trust that process.
And I would like to see a more open and transparent process where anyone interested can participate.
