RE: Freedom, Blockchains and Decentralization do not Exempt Us From Human Nature!

in ART LOVERS6 years ago

Anonymity provides freedom - in expression - and also the ability to engage in nefarious activities.
Words and actions are not the same thing.

Human nature being what it is, the anonymity lends itself to the manipulators taking advantage of the situation. (just look at the circle jerking, 'non meritocratic' voting here).

How do you ever have 'community', without accountability?
(community being a non static place, but with some shared histories, and culture).

The cyber world does not really provide it, in the conventional sense.
It provides a meeting place , not a real community.

Trying to 'make it so', doesn't mean it will be so.
The limits of cyberspace are becoming more apparent as time goes on, no matter how much the utopians try to hammer a square peg into a round hole.
(for utopians- read delusional, technocratic, authoritarian, eugenicists lol)

Good post sir.
