RE: Thoughts On The State Of Steemit & Why Humility Is The Path To Wisdom
I echo the other comment that it’s sad that the first comment here is a spam comment that’s also full of hate and vitriol. It’s a sad state of affairs but I try not to get too into those weeds.
There are some great authors in here like yourself that I appreciate. I haven’t had time to post any lately either but I have seen an increase in the fighting. It can be worse on here because of large accounts that can easily down vote posts into oblivion whereas FB and their ilk rely on algorithms to do that work. It’s a sad part of the human condition but people enjoy being a bully. They got bullied in real life and can’t do anything about it there so they come here and they bully people since they have the strength to.
It’s so petty but it’s the same people that are doing it, it’s like wtf just stop and get over it, life’s short.
Hope those renovations are going well! I’m going to start them up in April, needed to take a break for a while. Hoping our son will cooperate more so it will go smoother than it did last year lol he just cried the whole time (<2 at the time, hoping since he’s older it will fare better)
Looking forward to your next deep post!

Hey my friend, hope you've been well .. yeah it's been really sad to see all the bullshit that's been going on here. I kind of have a feeling as though a crypto by the people and for the people is our last role at the dice, our last chance to detach ourselves from a failing monetary system. In that respect we could view #steemit as (depending upon your perspective) a trial run or a test .. and you know if we can't find a way to make this new space/system work (which was actually doing a pretty good at drawing an eclectic group of people together, that were originally united by intent) well you know, in banking terms we'll get what we deserve.
I think that the construct of the platform needs to change, like the greater society it's too weighted in the favour of those that have already accumulated vast arrays of wealth. Equally, a cursory glance at trending posts filled with shit will highlight the hesitation prospective investors may have towards transferring some of their wealth/crypto holdings into steem. It would seem to me that there are opposing forces that are pulling in different directions, perhaps one aspect are attempting to physically go in a different direction, I don't know .. but I guess we'll see how it plays out.
The renovations are slowly coming together .. with a strong emphasis on the slow lol Good luck with yours :) I have a couple of pretty big/deep posts planned .. but I just need to get the format of my book straight in my head before I put my mind to another subject. Catch you soon dude!
The failing monetary system will need to implode biblically for most people to admit a change is even required such is the collective blindness and cognitive dissonance to the real problem deliberately built within it.
TPTB are so adept in deception that the collapse will most likely be paradoxically chaotic and controlled to ensure those at the top profit from the economic devastation at the expense of those below.
Following that anything could happen, the masses could gather together to demand that decentralised blockchain solutions are adopted to ensure fair governance and mediums of exchange or they could be corralled by their government overlords using the favoured Hegelian dialectic fear mongering into an even more centralised control system with centralised blockchain currency, UBI, implanted RFID chips and all manner of Orwellian hideousness guaranteeing their perpetual slavery!
My money is on the latter.....
Good luck with the reno’s Dude 👊😎
Beautifully said. People like you @cmplxty are why I stay.💜💜💜
