RE: Who are more Culpable for inequality and injustice, the people who make the laws or the people who follow and enforce them? EcoTrain QOTW
The people who follow and enforce the laws are more to be blamed then the law makers if the law is not the right one. But then deciding if it's right or not is also a big game, cause what may seem right to one not necessarily be right to the other. By and large it is the majority discomfort that matters at the end of it.
I do not follow the law because I think the law is moral or because I agree with the law. I see it as a part of risk management. Law is amoral as I always say. As far as enforcing laws go I cannot tell you what motivates people who enforce the law for a living but I would guess they have families they support. So I would guess they are doing what they think is best. I don't know if they believe the law is moral or immoral to be honest but regardless they are encouraged to enforce the laws even they might disagree with.
I hear in India Bitcoin is illegal? So does that mean 100% of Indians are going to buy secretly buy and sell Bitcoins if it is the only way out of a life in poverty? Of course I would expect some Indians to take the risk. Illegal doesn't mean immoral. If their risk pays off they could have enough money to do many moral actions down the road.
That's true in India it is illegal for whatever reasons, but then it is the only way for many to change their lives and many are doing it. If something becomes a threat to the power it is termed as illegal but then that is the decision taken for the benefit of a few.
What do you think of Decenturion?

I have yet to form an opinion on it and would like your perspective?
Well honestly i have limited knowledge on this but many many questions. It does not have any physical location, so you are a part of this state by being a part of your own country. I am not sure how can one completely cut off from the place they live in. I mean there will be utility use and so many of your daily chores to do.
Besides all of this while we say it's a blockchain technology based and the power is decentralized but does that really happen. Look at steemit itself, I have never been consented for any decision making. All the regulations are made at the top and we are just following like we are doing with our normal governments, so except for putting up my content freely on whatever I wish to write on there is no other liberty that I have.
So at the end of the day if it is something like this then not sure how does the whole purpose serve. Also as the state grows it is not possible to have everyone involved in every single thing so there will be at the end of it governing bodies who will have control and decision making at their discretion. It may not be as bad as the systems we live in but it may not be that favorable also. Every person will have their own views and thoughts and wants and it would be impossible to function at everyone's fancies so the power system will be there eventually.
Steem has cartel style governance rather than democracy. It's flawed but it's efficient enough for competing with Facebook which has a shareholder model. In other words DPOS is very much like the corporate structure we are familiar with.
But that isn't the limit of what blockchain tech and future tech can do. The question is what should it be used for? In my opinion better governance starts at the individual level. When we produce better people we get better governance as a side effect.
What is a better person? A more effective person. A person who can better serve is a person who can do the most with the least for as many as possible. So I'm all about automation, improving productivity, improving decision making, and from what I can see that is a big data analytics problem rather than a political problem. I don't think politics actually solves anything and just divides people but I do think tools to analyze data allow people to solve problems if they choose to focus on that.
