A very solid piece again @krnel, thank you so very much for underlining some seriously essential part of our place as a human being, as a citizen. "We're not living up to the personal responsibility to defend ourselves, and live for ourselves.", especially under the illusion of being a cohesive "groups" of concerned citizens, the tendency as you often repeated is that as individuals we are giving our powers away to others and even expect this illusive "others" to do what can't be expecting from a group. "If we want real freedom, it comes with personal responsibility, not abdicating it."

A decentralized blockchain based voting system where no one is forced into anything would allow us to create a preventative and systematic creative problem solving mechanism for all according to all groups sizes and locations . I believe we can allow for this mechanism to offer a progressive mediation frame as well as a groups consensus throughout the process.

I love how you are underlining the human factor where we all as individuals need to take responsibility for what we can do, though some of us are prevented either by birth, physically, intellectually, psychologically or spiritually, or natural events from being fully in charge of our own self.

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
