@brucebrownftw,
RAW (Robert Anton Wilson) is noted as saying... "everything is Metaphor!"
So in the day and age where the North American masses, tacitly consent to having ALL of their META Data taken and used against them, I would say that the Default State of Affairs is Dystopia.
However, today's technology advancements in Blockchain and Decentralized Networking will offer MANY individuals a way of Escaping the torments of Centrally Planned Servitude.
I look forward to seeing the future unfold in the present and to seeing new ideas be forged.
It's times like this that I have to ask... What's the Meta FOR in the first place NSA?
Thank you for your comment and maybe one day you can explain to me how your comment alone receives more Views and Upvotes than my actual Post does.
SteemON!
The esteem app gives upvotes for posting content. The app is bit cumbersome. I prefer doing long content from the laptop.. so sometimes i type it elsewhere that will autosave properly then copy and paste it to email so i can put the text into esteem app. Is it worth .60 cents? Sometimes.

"Whats the META for.." that was clever. Witty, deep and fun Like the rapper qtip writes. Thats why i like you @frankbacon.
So we are already in dystopia? Interesting perspective. I think things can always be better.
I guess I look like a bird in a golden cage, but I am just saying the current progress is what got us the blockchain. The good, the bad, the ugly that happened/is happening is what got us the blockchain.
Working in parallel with the existing dying/dead system does not hurt anarchy. It can give options for more freedom rather than a utopian "repeal and replace" promise.
Think of it this way, born slaves and prisoners of the current dystopia need time to adjust to the new cryptocracy world. Most people only change when they must or if they see something waaaay better that is working.
I can see that we are at the beginning of a huge change in the economic systems of the world. If we look back through history, we can see that with each change in human economy, there is fundamental shift in human civilization. From barder to credit, there is an explosion of change at each milestone of change. I would say there is good and bad with each shift.
The blockchain is the biggest revolutionary change since.. probaby since money itself came into existence. Because it is decentralized, creation of coin is based on mathematical proofs, computer systems can use cryptocurrency with low or zero transaction fees, it is better than any commodity, fiat or credit system as liquid fungible money because it can be a framework for each (and now that can even including contracts).
Is the future so bright that we have to wear shades

Most people NEVER change.

Life is change.. existence is change. They can try to resist but even effort it takes to resist requires change.
I would rather use the momentum of the waves of change to my advantage and surf than to get dashed into the rocks by change.
But I feel your frustration @originalsimulant
