RE: DECENTRALIZATION MEETS UNCERTAINTY
Haha, my mother tongue is Spanish, and although I must definitely learn Portuguese, I don't speak it.
I think that the problem you are referring to is not typical of decentralization, although it is related to a group of people who ask for decentralization (but not all).
The desire to give power to machines, rather than decentralization, has to do with misanthropy, that is, the hatred and distrust that a sector of the population presents towards humans in general, and therefore, seek to take away the power of the hands to the people, and give it to the machines.
The scenario you propose is not the one desired by many people who seek decentralization per se, but the one desired by people who specifically hate the current central entity.
But as you say, it is common for you to put a knot in your head with such an atypical scenario, you would have to make many assumptions, therefore, we would only be discussing an imaginary scenario, which may or may not even be possible to become.
Yes, you are right. I was looking at the term from the perspective of the buzz and the meaning attached to it.
One could think a little deeper what the people do with the power once its in their hands and how they get used to handle responsibility in a way that is consensus driven.
Hate and anxiety are actually supporting centralization without a human much being aware that that is so. It's the desire to shift power from one central agent to another one, perceived as "better" or "advanced".
I find it a good learning process to step into the imaginary scenario in order to find a point where I indeed come to the thought that it may or may be not possible to come. The very realization is a form of reflection I like to practice. That sometimes opens searching results which I haven't known of so far. It leaves me with the notion that I myself at least should know about my responsibilities and ethics.
I prefer to trust myself and others:) - though it's not always easy.
