(IJCH) With Blockchain Technology, we can now prevent another LoAE (Library of Alexandria Event) or PCTA (Post Cataclysm Tabula Rasa); But is That Enough?
IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (meaning: My warped, personal opinions and musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
"Book People" Not Needed
Thanks to current blockchain technology, the "Book People" as depicted in Ray Bradbury's book (later made into two movies - 1966, 2018) "Fahrenheit 451" and the movie "The Book of Eli" are not necessary in order to preserve mankind's past literary, scientific, philosophical, and religious knowledge.

But is that Good Enough?
"Just because we can prevent another LoAE (Library of Alexandria Event) or PCTA (Post Cataclysm Tabula Rasa), I still see where Humanity can still fuck up again..." - Jaichai
Active Suppression
History tells us that the beliefs of the predominant power structure governs the way knowledge is handled.
In authoritarian environments, knowledge is actively suppressed.
From ancient China to WWII, public book burnings have shown the extent that extreme ideologies will go to control the masses.
State Supported Sedation
Much like alcohol, OTC and prescription medications of today, a Knowledge-Averse State may appear publicly benevolent, all the while sponsoring a voluntary "feel good" drug like "Soma" in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World"
Or a Compulsory Program of State Supported Sedation

Equilibrium
Great movie. Here's the trailer:

Another very cool movie. Here's the trailer:
Distraction Induced Complacency? Passive Ignorance?
From ancient times to the present, the power elite spend enormous time, energy and money to keep the greater masses distracted enough to prevent them from actually thinking for themselves.
Media, sports and all sorts of meaningless drivel is shoved down the public's throat and bathes their minds with dreams of materialism and "honorable consumerism".
It's no wonder that global ignorance is the norm.
And that's exactly the way the 1% want it.
For if everyone knew that the real power is in the collective behavior of the masses, the world of the global elite would instantly crumble.
Wake Up! Please!
For you and your loved ones' sake AND Humanity's future, I truly hope more people wake up.
It's high time that we unlock the built-in Human Mind's "Fail-Safe" and explore the divinity within each and everyone of us...

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
