My drive to accumulate knowledge is a microcosm of centralization. I want to have all the information, I want to be the arbiter of what happens, I want to be the visionary, the brilliant engineer, the savior. It is not enough to be just one cog in the system; I want to be the brain.
What would be a more decentralized (as opposed to me-centralized) approach to helping technological progress toward the greater good? What principles from blockchain technology can I apply to my learning of blockchain technology? How can I hash what you learn and the next person hash what I learn until we make a great, generous, life-giving chain that is greater than the sum of its blockheads?
From a certain lens, the crypto space seems like a big popularity contest between competing personality cults, fed by egomania, greed, vindictiveness, etc.
It’s like the humans are failing to practice the cooperation they’ve taught the computers to perform. Perhaps that’s the most important thing we still need to learn...
