RE: The Hive. General update. SBI, Witness.
I guess on the "contest" I should have said I was not really playing, just trying to give a few others an Idea how they could play without feeling like they were copying and pasting, but thanks anyways for the s.b.i.
On climbing the stairs we have to remember that there are landings to take a break on every now and then when one is needed. Steemit is a very unique system when it comes to social media and real world ability to do something.
Many view it as a cryptosphere or capitalist sight when it comes to any kind of governance crypto and capitalism firsters.
Others view it as an Anarchist type sight, we don't need you telling us how to run our daily lives or what is best for us. (simple explanation but it is their fault that they are perceived this way). I don't need to vote because I do not need rules.
Some see it as a democracy and want everyone to have a vote in any changes that happen to the core of the system.
Some see it as a republic where we voted for the witnesses to act in our behalf and for our needs, and we can unvote them if they screw us over.
And some see it as a pure socialism sight, as in you have it I want it give it to me I need it more than you. I am more important than you. Or we need to give it all out evenly. You need to vote the way we tell you. You can have a vote, but use it like we say.
The truth of the matter steemit is a little bit of all of that. It is a crptoanarhcapisocialdemopublic. We have Anarchist donating to charity, we have crypto-capitalist donating to charity, we have democrats donating to charity, we have republicans donating to charities, and socialist not keeping the money but actually donating to charities also.
(yeah I know all the view's are stereotypical views of each type governance, for those governance purest, deal with it)
I agree we need all kinds of pies, we should not have to go without a pie because we do not like one flavour.
And if the baker can not make a lemon meringue pie, then there is always another baker down the road. People need to get over the my-way or the highway mode of thought, and just get on with life.
"You eat my mud pie or no pie" says the baker to the taker
"you make me an apple pie or I cry" said the taker to the baker
"Do you make lemon pie" asked the man to the baker.
"No mud pie or no pie" cried the baker to the man
"goodbye and good luck and have a nice day, I'll just go down the road and see the baker" said the man to the baker.
"wait" said the taker to the man going away, "bring me an apple pie, so I can make this baker cry"
with not a word of scorn or of hate, the man turned away and left with no haste.
"Did you hear what I said about my new pie" cried the taker to the man.
With no turn of the head or any such thing, he continued on his way to the next baker away from the taker, who was nothing more than a trouble maker.
Just felt like making nonsense. Since I feel most people refuse to look at possibilities outside their narrow view or beliefs.
