RE: Do You Want a Corporate Governing Culture, or a Socially Self-Governing Community?
Purely organic haphazard decisions
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 ...
