RE: Fool Me Once, Shame On You; Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me!

I think we need to learn how to appreciate centralization, as much as we appreciate decentralization. Pure decentralization is just as bad as pure centralization. Pure decentralization is why we had the STEEM/HIVE split, because on the pendulum, when we swing towards extreme decentralization, we stagnate and become disorganized, without direction. That's when a "centralizing force" comes in and begins to create order and direction, which is an amazing time for growth and innovation. We are in that phase now. Then, when we reach extreme centralization, we encounter totalitarianism, stagnation once again and that's when the "decentralizing force" returns to break up the power structure. And this too is a time of great innovation, creativity and freedom. We need to learn how to swing between these two forces in order to make good decisions about what we really want from life.
