RE: The False Appearance of 'Good' Prevents Action to Change for the Better
I do agree! There must be centralisation of power, to many people do not want to think thing through. But the centralised power needs to be good power! They need to be deserving that they are good. They need to lead the creation of visions, implementation plans etc, and have the community involved in all steps, from discussion to implementation. Be always transparent and such. Also, leaders should have time to implement, in our current democratic system those leaders have usually 4 years, too short to implement plans required for changes required to leed us into the next generation in a way we all are be able to live together in a better way, gain more happiness as a community/society and so on.
I think that (as many issues in life) we should have a compromise.
There are pros and cons for both centralized power and decentralized consensus.
I also think we have too much "centralized" in our western democracies...
I indeed am also of the opinion that we must find the balance between centralised and decentralised. What and how that exactly is, we need to find a common answer to. I for instance don't believe in referenda. I do not believe in the majority vote of 50% + 1 is what will be next. I do believe in transparency, which our current society is not about at all. Interestingly, some people here on Steemit want to stay absolutely anonymous; I find that very strange, since this does not build trust, but does the opposite.
I do believe in referenda in the abstract, but you cannot have good decisions based on poor knowledge. Knowledge for political matters is very subjective, and for technical matters is difficult to obtain.
I also like being anonymous, gives me freedom to talk about what I want : )
That could also be used for malicious acts, but the voting mechanism can / could be the answer to this.
