Few None of my business questions (on Steem Blockchain)
Governance, Elections, Worker Proposals are some of the topics that we hear in the context of blockchains. This is not just the case of Steem Blockchain. The questions are my own, my own selfish questions asked just to understand the problem.
“If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem. ”

*PS: The Jiddu Krishnamoorthy is the coolest guru out there who said none should follow him or anyone else. My quoting him is well aligned with my non-belief in isms and in no way I am following anything he said! ;-)
- scope001: Will the future development of Steem blockchain code, related libraries (Javascript, Python, Ruby), various supporting tools - account creation faucets and supporting tools the responsibility of the SteemAlliance ?
- scope002: Who will take care of the Marketing of the STEEM token ?

- election008: What percentage of the total NAI (Steem blockchain accounts) must participate in the election process to be defined valid ?
- election009: What is the minimal value of total STEEM in vests or otherwise to take part in the elections for the election to be defined valid ?

I like Jiddu Krishnamurti talks. Very wise man. My favourite:
"(What we are trying in all this discussions and talks here) is to see if we cannot radicaly bring about a transformation of the mind. Not accept things as they are, but to undestand it, to go into it, to examinate, give your heart and your mind with everything you have to find out.
A way of living differently.
But that depends on you and not somebody else, because in this there's no teacher, no pupil, there's no leader, there's no guru, there's no master, no servant. You yourself are the teacher and the pupil, you are the master, you are the guru, you are the leader.
And, to understand is to transform what is.
You are everything"
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Likely to be the most delightful statement I'll read today.
I'll be checking out your posts for more gems (Oh, no I won't follow you!). I'm having a really weary (as in I'm tired) day, but this was worth turning on the computer for.

Hello!
I am a community manager at Snax. We are trying to make public blockchain based on EOS node. Snax chain will provide transactions over social networks, token supply based on user social influence.
Snax as well as Steemit rewards its users for the content created, but Snax works as overlay solution over existing social networks (e.g. Twitter)
We have no ICO. We already have a testnet, mainnet will be launched this month, and we currently looking for great candidates for Block Producers like yourself. You can find out more about us at our website snax.one
If our project is interesting for you, please let me know by emailing me at [email protected]
Looking forward to hearing from you, and keep rocking this world!
Hi, I liked your quotes.
I am not sure what you meant.
Here is what I beleive the future is about. I guess what I was trying to say was that if you incorporate this perspective (Collective Intelligence)into your governance system, you would basically make what holds up the pillars of everything evil in this world (Individual Intelligence) obsolete. Sorry to dump on you here is from my blog. Too important to hope you will go there on your own.:
Collective vs Individual Intelligence - from my blog posting
The most frightening issue today is the aspect of our existence characterized by the advancement of our technologies for war (including nuclear weapons) and the ever clear stagnation of our species. In the last 100 years human technology has accelerated exponentially. We can all attest to this. During this same period of technological growth the entity we refer to as “Human” has for all purposes remained the same.
Yes, our lifestyles and our daily use of the modern miracles of science have heightened our perceptions of human potential. It must be said thought, the emotional, perceptual and Intellectual cognitive views we espouse in our day to day life are indistinguishable from those of early man. We have not evolved or changed in any substantive way. We are the people; who have waged endless war, burned witches at the stake and fallen victim to our delusions.
You often hear fears espoused concerning nuclear technology, biological technology or A.I.. The average person is not oblivious to the dangers. They appear perhaps to believe that fate and the old time tested fixes; leadership, diplomacy, war, morality, spirituality will apply here. On the other hand, perhaps they don’t, and that is why so many people toss the word Armageddon around. Armageddon may be seen as a logical conclusion that amazingly ancient man had the foresight to envision.
Why must there be a blood moon on our horizon? As this gulf between our new technology and the continuation of past norms for human perceptual and social interaction continues to widen I foresee that, like a rubber band it must at some point snap back. A great technological setback as the two reunite would signify a tragic reversal of fortunes for the human race. We as a people, we the human race must advance, we must evolve and close the gap, but what would be the catalyst for this?
What separates us from the animals in the rest of the kingdom is our intelligence? What is it about our intelligence that makes us unique; our use of logic and reason? My proposition is that human logic and reasoning; the higher order of our brain function is where the key lies, just not in the way we would normally consider or view this asset.
To understand the issue we must first view the human brain for what it is. The human brain must be viewed as a computer, a very powerful computer. |
Where this story begins to diverge is a place very close to home for all of us, the self. We must recognize and concede one vital aspect of this entire picture. The human brain belongs to the individual. It is captured in servitude of the individual and functions for the survival of it’s possessor. It is limited by the geography and history of the individual to whom it belongs.
We all operate cognitively by default as required by survival on a perception based, individual intelligence. We have since man stood upright formed perceptions or conclusions as a survival mechanism. These perception or conclusions were often based on incomplete information and under unique time constraints. Individual intelligence is the dominating force of this age as it was in ages past and forms the conclusions and beliefs we operate from in our day to day lives.
Our dependence on “leaders” shows that individual intelligence or human intelligence is a varied, and distributed element within our environments. What constitutes a leader here today in this unique situation or environment may not fit the bill tomorrow. Leaders can be kind or savage, patient or quick witted, poetic or bold, male or female.
We all, all of us, constitute a “whole”. Here on Earth today live the totality of our potential for new and unique thought. The logic and reasoning of the human race is constituted within the thoughts of men and women past and present. We as a whole are a force of human logic and reasoning.
