Sharing Some Insightful Thoughts on Steem from a Senior Scholar
Yesterday, I came across a lecture slide made by a senior professor who has authoriteies in water management policy. Here is the original contents
Conclusions – can water policy become sustainable?
Acknowledge importance of broad-scale participation in decisions; include various publics and NGOs.
Admit that no group has a monopoly of knowledge about water; groups define needs differently – e.g., irrigation, power, flooding: incorporating local knowledge in important.
Emphasize adaptive solutions that are small-scale, incremental and reversible if they fail.
Understand that control over water must be tempered by fairness and accountability: if groups feel excluded from decisions, they will resist; if encouraged to participate, they will likely innovate!
Here's my applications for Steem.
Broad-scale participation in decisions: We need that participation in both quality (by logic and knowledge) and quantity (by stake).Admit that no group has a monopoly of knowledge/incorporating local knowledge in important: User's feedback is as important as Steemit's research. However, none of them is deterministic. What we need is incorporation among them.Adaptive solutions that are small-scale, incremental and reversible if they fail: Step-by-step hardfork is desired.- If groups feel excluded from decisions, they will resist; if encouraged to participate, they will likely innovate!
I agree.
I think this HF won't be accepted because it has too many modifications. The more changes, the more likely someone won't upgrade because they cannot accept at least one change as desirable.
For e.g., if the HF was only about the nesting limit, everyone would support it (I think). I don't mind if we will have HF847362738 (I don't know if it is bad technologically, though), just provide acceptable steps, quick, regular updates. Don't force ty-in sales.
