RE: Six Concepts from the Edge.Org Annual Question for 2017:
The data that is being collected is massively skewed. How do you factor in for that? Like human's natural competition mechanism that regulates their drive to ensure their popular view is directly foreseen as correct among lesser uncompetitive view points. The amount of data we are collected is indicative of society as a whole is it not? But in social media, news platforms, and other medias the voice of outliers are denounced as liars! Like mainstream outed the liars, not themselves of course, but have excluded some views of realistic scenarios as a result. What is the source of this in human behavior other than the drive to compete to be on top? Humans like to be the top on every chain, even one made upon human data. Natural predatory mode. Idk... I think it would be an interesting topic to see what actions behind data collection are skewed by competition.
Thanks for the feedback. On one hand, putting data on public block chains may help, since everyone can access it and decide what to believe for themselves. The trade-off is that we may have even less privacy than we do now.
Privacy isn't something I value given the schizophrenia and intermittent psychosis. There are no secrets in psychosis so I find it strange how private normal people are or have become...when you think your constantly being watched or filmed or viewed privacy seems trivial. A right that is elusive. I am on board for blockchain technology! Your post was very interesting and I enjoyed reading the highly educated opinions of the points you zoned in on.
