this is way to simplistic. "Blockchain" as "AI" or other sufficiently popular concepts are mere projects spaces of peoples hopes and fears.
A question now may be: can this "Blockchain" Idea give rise to technology which in turn helps people to coordinate better?
Its really interesting there projects who mandate for more transparency through blockchain and then there are projects who ride on "everything" should be private.
The answer to such problems very seldom lies in extremes but in the mediation between possible options.
Many Ethereum projects but also IPFS now finally offer tangebile (beta) products. In many traditional metrics they are lagg behind mainstream projects. But since decentralization over centralization and collaboration over competition are real values interesting things begin to emerge.
Now I could be counting to 3 until the next person jumps here on and (projects his values or antagonist dreams on this) says capitalism is it and socialism was the worst thing in history!!!111
But maybe a room can grow which is neither capitalism nor socialism but yet better. So lets start to ponder , some impossible thoughts - using this blockchain thing.
Building better technology - finding better ways to coordinate with people - in the real world. Through digital technology but not only limited to or by it.
A couple of things here: I do not think that there is a “right” set of resources. There may be a set of “right” resources for you personally but to explore or discover these you would have to explore your motivation and your personality further. Which learning styles do you favour? What are your long term goals?
Somehow I liked how Jordan Peterson put it in his - Maps of Meaning- lecture: university should help students to get articulate. If you think about that, your self and um your goals it should help you to move forward.
Other wise you are just looking for an instruction manual for life, which doesn’t exist as such.
The article as the comments here read very strange. Like a place where there is no place for people. There can be space (real physical as well as a culture) for people, lets give team human a try. Please let's not be working drones that optimize towards questionable goals...
Of course it’s good to „get by“ and live a life without „hassle“. But I think it’s becoming more and more clear that this is just not the case.
Most part of what we call civilisation, such as industry, sich as the IT industry is simply not sustainable. To survive the 21 century we have to look at better methods to collaborate.
And of course technology is part of the eqaation. Open Source and similar efforts lead the way towards such better methods. But they cannot exist in vacuum or on a island alone.
So we have to change society but by bit. Let’s go!
So I admit that I didnt read the whole thing, but this seems more like yet another push for bitcoin, and not actually about philosophy?
> So lets focus on that, the impossible thought: How can we live together in peace and prosperity with each other and nature?
By fixing ethical misstandings, improving laws and destroying borders where none need be.
> So again, blockchains and ethereum are software and you can do any thing with them.
You cannot fight racism with it. You cannot fight prejudice with it.
If all you have is a hammer, lots of things start to look like nails. Sure, you might be able to hit your girlfriend with the hammer, but the relationship would probably improve more if you talked about the problem.
"Sure, you might be able to hit your girlfriend with the hammer, but the relationship would probably improve more if you talked about the problem."
Or, rather, if the relationship ceased before violence entered the equation.
(In case anyone complains about pessimism, a friend of mine says often: "Relationships can only end in one of two ways: death or breakup." I'd rather think of it as a stoic position.)
Imagine a Context where you could invest in space companies using crypto tokens and then users or other entities with technical expertise could vote on product development ...
I do really hope we see something like it in the next 5-10 years.
