RE: How Steemit can save millions of lives?
Thanks @mobbs for this sincere and thought-provoking piece. I think on similar themes often about how, in this new world of fake news and totally siloed self-affirming media consumption, we lose the common ground (based in facts) to have real discussions and make progress working with people who have fundamentally different views. I think in a way, this site and more broadly blockchain-based technologies, are a lesson for how best to fight the growing threat of falsehoods, fake news, and pseudoscience, as you call it.
We do indeed live in a more divisive time than ever before, with ISIS playing the political game and strategically timed attacks, Trump, Brexit and more. It's scary!
We can all find common ground if we just take a deep breath and respond thoughtfully, I think.
keep it up
This does not demonstrate proof, but I find, in my own experience that what most people believe is fundamentally flawed, and the facts are not to be found in the pro- versus anti- stances of a false dilemma. The answer is usually something not addressed by either 'side'.
