RE: Decision paralysis... solutions don't come from only taking the known safe path
I was talking about this today, how once "legal laws" are passed, they are so hard to undo, and how that related to decisions being passed rather easily despite some disagreement but because consensus can't be reached the proposals get passed anyways. In Steemit, they sometimes get rejected, but usually those are good things, like the vote negation and the 5 vote power change.
I am fine with trying anything to make steemit better with the understanding that the things that don't work we all agree to stop doing once we've proven they don't work.
Indeed.
I was walking around after writing this article and thinking about how the Republicans are not happy with an idea unless it came from the republicans, and vice versa with the Democrats. It is the impasse. Each "party" more concerned with its legacy than actually fixing things. There is no one group of people that have an exclusive monopoly on good ideas.
I'm not a fan of parties, or in reality government, at all, but I'd love to see parties not exist and it be about individual representatives.
A cartel mentality pervades governments. "We must group up to resist", and yet soon that "group" begins to become a hive, and individual thought is discouraged unless it agrees with the group.
Cartels price fix.
Parties price and bill fix.
