Herd deliberations by definition have to be compromise... that gives herd animals an edge in their immediate ecological niche but it also manoeuvers them into a mental corner from which it's extremely hard to escape, evolution-wise. Maybe it cannot be done, which would explain why history repeats itself.

Btw I yesterday read someone commenting that steemit should force upvotes to be given in a "more egalitarian manner," and that the rewards pool should also be shared more equally. That is such cool herd animal thinking.

If we talk about herd - animals, I agree with you. When we talk about a big amount of people that is in the same boat (like this herd) the word is not compromise for me. We are growing as animals but not as Humans, it´s more like a livestock herd, maybe lams?

This ideas of democracy or egalitarian society works as grass for them.
as society we spend our time in front of a dark and cold glass screen, closing our real windows (eyes).

I don´t like to compare the human stupidity with the perfection of wild animals... livestock are just poor and dependent animals.

Maybe is just that, the result of a life of bad quality food, insufficient good quality pure water, zero nurture, without real love, real care or real attention. A life of blind slavery and fashion followers.

And here we are, as part of this.
