Blockchain Decentralization and the Evolutionary Vision

Blockchain is making governance solutions evolutionarily creative and inventive — instead of reactionary agents of force, stabilization and control, and suppression of innovation, invention, and evolution.

It's an invention that allows for governance to fundamentally move from negative feedback stabilization of systems through suppressing deviation/innovation, as a closed system — and into open dynamic positive feedback, deviation amplifying, or evolutionary-emergent systems, with regulation built in as self-regulation, as an inventive/innovative/evolutionary dynamic itself.

Culture and the arts evolve faster as a system of seeing into the future, as the leading edge in civilization, then science follows, but then economic systems and social change are always the last. Which is what all our past century was and still is about — with bitcoin in mind as the final evolution of the global economic-financial system that actually solves the problems of both capitalism and communism, individuality and collectivity, dynamically self-balancing for the first time, and not at war.

Technology is solving the problem of collective accounting, which evolves all parts of the subsystems in the society and institutions away from equilibrium stabilization and innovation suppressing "government," into dynamically self-organizing evolutionary and innovation supporting self-governance systems, which free the bureaucracy of our society from their dissociation, and our hatred of them, and reintegrates them into actual meaningful work, which his innovation.

These are the first steps in the evolution of a monetary system that has held humanity hostage to its lower values for more than a century, and now we can start to break away from that paradigm of control and evolutionary suppression.

"The evolutionary vision tries to understand evolution as a total phenomenon, originating in the common singularity of a "big bang" (at least accoring to the prevalent cosmological model) and interconnected through the homology, not just the analogy, of its dynamic manifestations. In other words, evolutionary dynamics at all levels are considered as related in kind, not just in a formal way. In such a sweeping view, evolution becomes manifest in all kinds of creative dynamics, from the processes bringing about particles and atoms as well as galaxies and stars all the way to human creativity in art and science, technology and social design. A new perspective is gained thereby for an understanding of systems as the carriers, or even "power relays," of evolution." (Erich Jantsch, The Evolutionary Vision, 1980.)
