I love the idea of complete decentralization, but with this thought I also feel fear. You talk about the noble part of helping ourself to help others, and that is were all could break down.
A decentralized community, for instance like Steem, is based on trust in each other. It’s based not only on receiving, but also paying it forward. But the weak point in this chain is, that it can be abused. It can be used for only self gain. It can be used for enrichment without giving. Also, who controls blogs that are deceitful or even against the law ( like child ponagraphy?). Yes we have steem cleaners, but they are actually a kind of centralized police. And when the platform explodes it could get pulled down by its own success, as the amount of posts will be so high, it can’t be cleaned.
But let’s take it into the real world. Certain aspects of live are cebtrelized for good reason, and are government controlled, and I can’t see another option than the centralization of control, for instance: Heath care, schools, road maintenance, public libraries, any public facility. And in that same line, pharmaceutical development is completely controlled by pharmaceutical companies and the approval by government law. The approval process is centralized. Actually many quality systems are centralized, as the previous anarchy on products, including medicine and food ( 100 years ago) , was dangerous. It’s breaking my brain, to see how decentralization could be implemented into these systems, as there are flaws in it. Fit instance in pharmaceutical companies it is the pharmaceutical companies that choose which medicine to develop. Diceases that effect rich countries are on the list of pharmaceutical companies to develop, because it pays of to sell them, while there is hardly any development in specific poor country diseases. In my opinion an example of central power. But I can’t see how decentralization could work in this case. How the future could be brighter. I need to sleep on this one. Maybe some things will not or cannot change?
What do you think @takmaster4457
I hope you will read this, as it’s boggling my mind.
