RE: [I Am Cicada] - Can We Really Replace Our Leaders With Code?
Fascinating concept, Huxley would be proud. I would be concerned with the "herd mentality" and by seeing the idiotic things that go viral on other social media sites, it would definitely need to be designed correctly, can you imagine a world run by Kardashians?
Thank you @makecents
I understand the concerns you've raised but also have a feeling that a lot of that has to do with the current state of affairs.
I personally do not support any political party. To me it's just a puppet show, so watching the puppets spew messages of division and distraction, I believe you can blame those problems on them. So something like Cicader presents a possible solution out of that mess.
Hopefully the immortality of the Blockchain will discourage idiotic behaviour as appears to be evident here on Steemit. So far I've seen none of the kind of idiotic things that go on at other social media platforms here. There should always be room for idiocy in its own place as long as it doesn't interfere with the right of others.
Steemit is setting a great example how people all over the world can share ideas without fear of censorship and to top it off earn a form of income at the same time. That is already a great step towards freedom for many people.
I agree we tend to look at things from a "just now" bias. It will be fun to watch how Steemit evolves, we definitely live in exciting times.
We sure do.
