RE: The Ugly Truth About The Value Of Steem, Or The Steem Dilemma!
I'm honestly pretty disgusted by how things work here. Signed up several days ago and full of enthusiasm written several short posts + did my best on my introduction. I don't really care that I didn't get noticed, it's understandable since there are thousands of introduce yourself posts..
But the whole upvoting thing where basically people don't even read certain posts but just upvote because they know it will give them big cur. rewards...and people like Haejin just posting same shit over and over again ...and all these follow for follow and general meaning comments which are just copy pasted by bots to hundreds of posts daily...
Dunno...I haven't read the proposed solutions for this so I'll look into them and if nothing hopefull comes out of there I guess I'll be out after several more days.
Kind of disgusting that once people have money in mind, they just go all crazy and find ways how bend the system over and benefit as much as possible while destroying the whole ecosystem...happens again and again throughout the whole history of our species, you name it: politics, nature etc etc...
...Wondering if AI could teach us how hot to do things differently in the future...but it's probably just a wishful hope of my programmer's heart :D
Look, you can't change humans. They are exactly the same animals they were 50,000 years ago and their basic behavior will not change. Game Theory was true for what happens in a cave as is for what is now happening in big corporations and institutions.
What we can do is change the rules so that those natural human instincts and modes of behavior are channeled in a beneficial way rather than into something ultimately no one would want.
This idea that the system does not need changing, that only if people would be better is the doom of any utopian idea. Communists in the USSR dreamed of creating a "communist man" who would actually benefit from and perpetuate their perfect system. With a tongue in cheek I would say that communism IS a perfect system... for communist humans.
Don't fall into this trap, it leads nowhere except maybe bitter misanthropy. If you've played board games you'll notice how players behavior changes markedly depending on the rules of the game (sometimes quite minuscule). People who are all altruism and cooperation in one game can be brutal backstabbers in another. It is fascinating. If you have a system which rewards greed and cut-throat competition while making it easier to amass power the more you have it... will you be really surprised if it ends up as ruled by a handful of psychopaths?
Hmm such a good point with communism...and in general, very good insight...I'd give u an upvote worh 1 cent :D but I'm 30% charged only and my upvote aint worth shit :D gotta wait and will come back to give u one!
Good insight indeed!
I shall give @compleatgamester the well-deserved upvote.
As mentioned, the rules had to be changed, but the question is what to change exactly?
the solution to this could be that to give a good vote first you would have to have the post and wait a considerable time in the according to the size of the post
