RE: Do You Want a Corporate Governing Culture, or a Socially Self-Governing Community?
Interesting choices to be made @krnel.
I would ask of the power base of steemit this: with the advantage of rose-tinted spectacles and you could see the reality of today, would you still have preferred the right of self-determination via the rule of might?
Given the plight of all too many people I hope the answer is no.
Ok, let's take a look forward to where the vision of steemit is in, say, 18 months, 3 years five years, ideally 10 years time. Now, if you reverse from that situation, the whole picture gets cleared of the fog of algorithms and so forth.
The sorts of things you might want to consider:
- A whale dies leaving 150 million SP in trust to his/her grandchildren and appoints a trustee.
- Nominee accounts
- Leased accounts
- etc
If you fail to plan ... you know the story.
Purely organic haphazard decisions is a Darwinian ploy which leads to the evolution over a multi-generational timeframe. People will not buy that any more than they buy the current imbalance and resultant performance.
What the whales 'should' buy is the pathway to steem value growth via a healthy, sustainable, rewarding system of remuneration.
It would seem clear that there is neither the management experience nor the consensus to see and achieve control over such a big set of variables and harness them into a coherent and reasoned future.
I hope that this is of value to the conversation.
That's not the necessary outcome. Reason and explaining things is required. If no one wants to listen and just keep doing what they already do, or what they want to do, then sure it won't work. IT;s the same for one small group or everyone together. It takes longer to realize when people who want to lead themselves do it. Probably not even 90% of the community wants to get involved in understanding the issue or changing things. So then 10% will be the ones who care to get involved in the community and change course. As more people care and get involved, get empowered, and have their voices heard, I suspect more people will join in as its inclusive decentralized power not exclusive centralized power. One promoted a sense of belonging and having your voice heard, empowerement, while the other is disempowering, disenfranchising, disillusioning, and restricts the ability to have a voice heard and feel like one belongs. There limits to interactivity as well.
Based upon power rules, yes, that is the current outcome and that will not alter - how can it change unless the pathway to steem value growth is explained? Which is what I suggested.
If there are no ears to hear, the playing field might need to be swapped. Then see the price of steem. I do not wish for that one iota but when everyone agrees that there needs to be change and there are suggestions being put forward by you, me and many others and no ears open ...
