RE: Total transparancy benefits the top of the pyramid and may not actually work as intended (there are costs)
I totally agree with the idea of decentralization, which helps it be neutral. However, ordinary people like you and me, we do not have the time nor the money to investigate companies who develop the AI technology. While blockchain has its advantage compared to traditional banking system, it's still susceptible to 51 mining attack. It doesn't matter if you have a decentralization if the majority of the mining system is coming from the same place.
Maybe I'm not normal, if I'm posting on Steemit, on topics like this, and thinking as I do, and that is perhaps the issue with total transparency. Do we want to promote maximum normalcy in thought and behavior?
What do you mean by maximum normalcy in thought and behavior?
Since the crowd is God, it decides whether you are an angel or demon, a sinner or what is a sin, and it defines this without necessarily telling you what it has decided. At any time you can be kicked out of the in-group because your thoughts and behaviors don't conform to it.
So by normal, I mean you have to be the most normal person in the group to guarantee your own safety from being shunned. Being shunned in total transparency is social death. No one will talk to you, your friends, family, all will have to turn their back on you or they could get shunned.
Remember, we aren't talking about the sort of shunning in history where eventually people forgive and forget. We are talking about blockchain enhanced permanent shunning, where there is a blockchain which never forgets, and which people never forgive, and so the shunning is permanent for life.
