RE: I've Played a Part in the Formation of the Surveillance State

in #technology8 years ago

Wow, thanks for sharing. It's tragic that one has to shackle their mind with fears over whether some authoritarian structure will leverage their work product for evil. The world certainly needs a mind like yours solving the problems it finds interesting. I am reminded of Musk's response to fears that someone (I strongly suspect he was implying "governments") would create super-powerful AI by creating his own open source alternative. By taking the technology that would be used for evil and distributing it among the population it seems theoretically possible to neutralize the danger. Have you considered moving your work in that direction? Developing similar technologies that would protect the public rather than empower the State? Thanks again for sharing, fascinating stuff.

Hence why I'm taking the certified ethereum developer course right now while working on decentralized urban farming. I think decentralization tech is going to make violent coercion from the state / counter-state (terrorists) less likely. Decentralization pretty much means you have no definite or singular point of attack.

Thanks for the kind words man, I love writing and will be writing a lot :) keep in touch!

Wow. A "certified ethereum developer course"? Is the certification part centralized or decentralized?

centralized ;) lol. knowledge needs to be distributed!
