Random Thoughts on Freedom:
I have given lip service to Freedom most of my life, but I have had very little opportunity to experience it. I'll be honest, most days I am annoyed by your Freedom. :)
I haven't studied enough history and Philosophy on Freedom and how it plays out. I grew up in a dictatorship (parents) I was educated in a dictatorship. (Teachers and Principal) and moved into the work force with a clear chain of command. (Bosses and Owners) That is where I know how to operate, I thrive where I clearly understand the power structure and who's approval I need to move ahead with my agenda.
Right away I appreciated that SteemIt was an experiment and a place to observe and practice freedom at some level. It didn't know how much it was going to awaken my inner "Control Freak".
From a financial point of view, in the moment I am not a fan. It isn't that I am upset about the price it is the wasted energy of hundreds of agenda's clashing. It feels chaotic and slow. This post is not a comment on anyone else's agenda, it is about my reactions. In business you pick a path and head down it. The path will not be perfect and is often adjusted, but there are just a few hands at the wheel steering the ship. When you want to change directions you adjust the sails, let the people react, and then "Stay the course".
I've noticed in Bitcoin land the wealth is centralized, the mining is somewhat centralized, and once again the course is set by a few. Obviously the same issues are happening with Steem. I wonder if it is because that is how we know how to operate or is it human nature?
Will we get better at this with time? Do we need to get better?
