I too am a trained social scientist. I am glad to see you here! Do you think that the social sciences will become more scientific with the transparency inherent in blockchain/ open ledger technologies? For instance we have access to some of the same algorithms that major internet companies use, but not their data. Those same algorithms are being employed, by these private companies, inside of their own servers, to exploit us and make merchandise of our habits. If we were to turn these same algorithms loose on an open ledger what might we learn and how will it transform the social sciences? I am not mocking the "social sciences" just pointing out they are less scientific than say chemistry or physics. Are you aware of any institutions or academic disciplines aligning themselves with this technology?
