I was listening to the Joe Rogan Podcast the other day, when all of a sudden I heard a sentence that literally made my eyebrows rise:
“Should God be decentralized?”
That is the moment when one must stop and ponder:
What if we’re taking this decentralization thing way out of proportion? What if we should consider it in moderation like most things in life?
And more importantly, how would a project ever take off if everybody is busy arguing with everybody?
Because let’s face it, for many people it’s never about a cold assessment of a situation, but rather just want to be right.
Let’s imagine for the sake of argument that Tesla decides tomorrow to decentralize everything. That all the decision making should be up to everyone instead of following the vision of its creator.
So how could Elon get anything done while he’s listening to all the noise and trying to satisfy everyone?
Some people will probably demand the cars to be made exclusively at a national level and not outsource anything to foreign countries.
Others would argue about the cost, some folks would take issue with the design… Hell, some may even demand that the cars are made Gender-neutral.
You’ll never run out opinions, that’s for sure.
The point is, people will always try to project what’s important to them.
And inevitably, the founder’s vision will be lost in the ether trying to achieve something that is known as one of the few undisputed impossibles there is: Satisfying everyone.
So I leave you with a little dilemma:
Shouldn’t we trust the founder who have spent countless hours working on his project given his unparalleled detailed knowledge?
And not to mention, isn’t it his dream to begin with, and his vision?
Or should we start decentralize people’s visions’ as well?
On the other hand, do you think that we should put it all to popular vote?
Even while knowing full well that the absolute majority are probably lacking all the specialized knowledge and experience required to run those complex projects.
What’s your take on the subject? Let me know in the comments below.
