RE: We are all special - Beautiful Delusions
Some people take offense to this level of honesty... I find it refreshing... We should never argue for the equality of outcome, only for equal opportunity. If there is something that needs constant adjusting, constant vigilance would be the systems we operate in. if at anytime they don't promote equal opportunity then we must change them.
Yes, I guess that's one of the things that irks me about the behavior of some of those who abuse the Steemit system... apparently they believe they are above the rest of us. They create an inequality of opportunity. Hope that made sense.
It makes perfect sense... I have high expectations for the updates to come, I think that SMT's and Oracles might fix a few of these issues. I don't think it will ever be perfect, but certainly better than it is today.
Dang! I hate revealing my ignorance, but what or who are the Oracles? Not Witnesses, correct?
An oversimplified explanation would be that Oracles would be leaders of the communities running on SMT's. They would be elected by the community, very much in the way witnesses are.
They would have the ability to set parameters, for the community. Remove the ability for abusers to make any income, modifying the way upvotes work, etc.
Ok. Gotcha. @eco-alex comes to mind. He has done exactly that. Makes good sense, but there is the danger that those wanting to be part of the community will conform in what they post and even present themselves to be. Humans! What a messy existence we create!
