Civilization at a Crossroads: The Choice is Decentralization or Extinction

in bitcoin •  7 years ago  (edited)

I'm not saying that all hierarchical systems are bad. I use one in the Terran Atlas central database that I programmed. It isn't a distributed database using consensus algorithms.

You probably haven't read the rest of my blog on this subject which is rather long, but I talk about the unnatural accumulation of wealth and that this extreme centralization is a danger to the planet and that bitcoin which disallows inflationary measures prevents annihilation through excessive cost.

The goal here isn't the cure of the human condition. It's the restraining of the central impulses that will eventually given enough time lead to nuclear annihilation. Multisig found in smart contracts can fix this problem.

I think we agree in general. Decentralized control systems via blockchain will disrupt a lot of traditional methods. It will be interesting to watch it happen.

It would be nice if there was more disagreement in general in the population. There are far too many followers in agreement with a central authority. Had there been a bit more of this in the general population, maybe authority wouldn't have amassed so much wealth and destruction potential.

Disagreement or just more critical thinking?

How about critical disagreement?
