RE: Consensus exists only in equalitarian groups, where everybody has the same rights to express their will by influence and be influenced by all the others
People won't stay on Steemit if there is no potential for moving up the food chain. So hopefully more dolphins will move into the ecosystem in time, however there has to be enough food to feed the growing dolphin families. We are all born equal in spirit but not equal in our abilities 😇🤑
Indeed. Each person should be evaluated on what they can do, and in Steemit that's the content that get's evaluated. In social networking, the people in the networked community usually have equal rights to influence and be influenced, to upvote others. But Steemit doesn't work that way. The concentration of power is something that I want to find a resolution to that works on Steemit. Can you contact me at [email protected]? Thanks.
Okay! I look forward to further communications.
Why one dolphin will want to buy steem power -to reach the whale , my solutions is simple limit of steem power that counts ( idk 50 or 100 000 dolars ,or less or more ) so no one will blame whale for power down , dolphins will buy to get same vote power , more whales will balanse the sistem and the price will go alot UP . What about this ?
More dolphins will have a collective power, however your idea is great as well. I'm working from the system we have here in the United States. Our power comes from our middle class, well it used to, the middle class has been eroded by the lose of small businesses, too many regulations and over taxation. We are the ones who buy stuff, cars, houses, clothing, fancy stuff like boats, cool products made by artisans, vacations and so on. We drive a thriving economy.
There can be formed several clases if you can define overpower so if you have 1 milion you can be happy or try to hit the max ? Maybe 100 milions ? Here we need to define some maximum for voting power not how much steem you can have .
I am not a mathematician, but I do understand a little economics, wouldn't it be cool if we could build a free market experiment. There really hasn't ever been a truly free market and I can't define one off the top of my head. It would be fun to explore the possibilities..
If we uncouple voting power from steem and tie votes to how active one is in the community would that be easily gamed? I remember tying your vote to reputation opens a community up to sybil attacks? Can this be weakness in reputation scores be addressed because I see this as a possibility. However this brings to mind a show I saw called Black Mirror, season 3 called nosedive and how living with digital reputation scores was like living in a prison.
My favorite scene after the heroine ruined her reputation which was tied to ones ability to work and find good housing and ended up in prison and became free.
In the beginning of Americas growth corporations were chartered and corporations had to be located in the state they sold their goods. If the corporation did not serve its community its charter was revoked. I see the huge accounts acting a lot like modern corporations.

With a larger ecosystem of middle class the 99% who own most of the steem will lose a lot of their power and the rest of us will be able to work on community and economic consensus...we will be able to change the system if it becomes dysfunctional. No system is forever hehehe, except for the law of nature, cause and effect!
