I stumbled onto a statement yesterday that brought everything into focus.
> Many of the long-time bloggers on Hive - looking at you 
How depressing.
(This was from the latest HiveStats update post, so I think I'm safe in saying that it's a fairly echoed POV in the LEO community, I added the tag in support).
That detachment from humanity is a huge flaw in logic, imo. When we start talking about automation, AI, "enter sci-fi scenario that seemed impossible 20 years ago, but now.." and there is a separation on this level... I see these mentalities as doomed to fail (well, depends how many coins you have in your pocket really, nice food and wine can soothe the ignoramus).
My Hive account? It's me. An expression of myself. Verified and real.

There is a vicious circle that is being returned to over and over. It always has these things involved. Money. Hierarchy. Limited perception.
When you see everything in terms of monetisation and rewards, do you carry along the same old mental models that come with them? That being thoughts and feelings of fear, greed, survival, dog-eat-dog, slippery ladders, rats in go-karts.
Paranoia is another one. The python around the mind. I had a realisation yesterday about it and security in particular. Is there room for paranoia if you take what you need and give more than you can carry? I don't think so.
...
This has been a relatively heavy one for 9am on a Friday morning. I guess I'm just tired of waking up to see the same ol' shite being plastered around these Hive walls. I'm a more-or-less silent passenger in the MANNA and BrightID projects (Hedge for Humanity) after all. They do seem to be making some solid strides forward.
Anyway... ask yourself, is your Hive account a bank/business? Or is it, you?
Consider the implications of them both being the same thing and think about how that may taint the mind.
You do know what a Metaverse is, right? It's on top of your shoulders.
