In Former Yugoslavia, it was called "workers self-governing socialism".
Every factory was governed by common workers.
They were voting about everything, you know, what should be the colour of pencils and simultaneously Top Management stuff.
As you could imagine it was an epic failure
Because common workers know nothing about top management and top managers know nothing about nuts and bolts
Sounds like the book, "Animal Farm." I wonder if the point (really) was to get the workers to mentally invest in their jobs more so they would be okay with working harder.
It's a great question, and not intuitive at all.
Here is the trick, it's hard to work hard. You need to master the craft, you need to learn more, to compete, to be more and more creative.
In that case, some will become the true masters and those will be paid more, those will be wanted more. Those will be at the top.
However, in a system where all the people are need to be equal, you must create a different "scoring system".
It will not matter if you are the best, but some weird things, such as:
I'm serious about those questions.
Those gatherings of basically incompetent were used to enjoy the easiness of Dani Kruger effect, and "earn points". Just be loud and say that in leaders you trust and that you will never choose another path.
Who the hell is a doctor to tell me about vaccines? Who the hell is an architect to tell me how to build? Who the hell is an engineer to teach me how to make stuff?
Sounds familiar, right?
If there is anything I have learned after being on this planet for 50 years is that one must dig deeper for the "real" information. One will never find it on the propaganda box called the television.
I appreciate your input @alexs1320. I will never know everything, so it is wonderful to hear your perspective. Thank you for taking the time to make such a thoughtful response!
I like to talk to people who spent more time on this planet than me, because the official history is often forgetting one important thing: what was the sentiment?
Do you remember the euphoria from winter 2017, concerning crypto?
Today, there are more ATMs, better regulations, more users, more Apps, but something is missing.
There is no real progress. This is why I believe that this "decentralised, amateur, volunteers" can not work. This is a job for those with 5+ Million power and some Pros. Big contracts with influential people, companies, brands... And maybe, just maybe something could change
For the last 3 decades (or more) it has been about building and supporting community for me, wherever I land. Also, defining and refining the word community with regards to my personal needs and wants over the years. I have been very lucky to have experienced many flavors and varieties of communities and my take-away is that we do actually need each other (probably more than we realize). We are being programmed to think that we can get along without the help of the other, but this is a false assumption.
I could wallow in the negative but I try to keep positive with regards to humans and where we are headed. I just take care of myself and my community and hope for the best. God willing something positive will happen that influences another generation.
Exactly. Then why are we repeating the same terrible ideas here? They know what needs to be done and they should just do it. Steemit.com is a private website, if we don't like it we can move to another app. Simple as that.
Because most of the people know History Channel History a.k.a. "maybe aliens".
We can move to another app. True, and that is what we are doing, Trybe is cool, a similar concept. And there are always FB, Insta, whatever.
The problem is one psychological phenomenon. Once you have invested the time, it's difficult to quit. The same goes for bad job, bad relationship, bad town, car...
