RE: Can Steemit be a Gandhi Phenomena?
Yeah this is very tricky. History has provided a lot of great ideas. They remain great under very controlled circumstances. If people behave as the people that conceived the idea believe people will behave they might actually work. The problem is we don't all behave the same so once the idea is out in the wild or outside of the CLEAN ROOM as it were they become exposed to ideas/behaviors beyond what the people that came up with the idea could imagine. That is when they tend to be corrupted...
How to resist that... the answer to that would be one of the most important ideas in history I think.
I think the only way to counter act it would be a combination of culture and economics. The culture to educate as well as to better understand those that think differently and adjust the system. The economics to reward or punnish without special care for anyones ideas.
It would never be 100% secure, but it could be better done and with less coercion both here and in general, than we have in society today.
