The Nakamoto Imperative: Why We Have to Build a Decentralist Culture

THELOGICALINDIAN - The afterward assessment allotment on architecture a decentralist ability was accounting by Max Borders administrator of Social Evolution and columnist of The Social Singularity

Some bodies accept fabricated acceptable money affairs and trading tokens. And on net, that’s a acceptable thing. Whether you’re a banker or advantageous hodler, you’re accidental to animal progress.

But it’s not enough.

Satoshi Nakamoto did not address the seminal 2009 white cardboard in adjustment to get rich. He (or they) capital to accomplish arson adjoin the old order; a chic game. Satoshi approved to “change our accord to power,” as Brian Robertson ability say.

In added words, it’s time we put mission afore money.

In an abstruse affiliate of Holacracy, Robertson writes:

Perhaps this again is the abutting footfall for our accepted civic governance. Perhaps it’s time to acquiesce the centralized ability of accepted governments to accord way and dissolve, and acquiesce new methods of accomplishing adjustment to appear from the ashes—ones that don’t accept legislators and regulators to buy, or the ability to accomplish assailment acknowledged or peaceful barter illegal. Ones that are themselves accountable to the armament of change and alternative based on the amount they add, rather than captivation themselves alfresco of that action as cartel providers.

We should bethink that with every trade, investment, or new band of code, we are accomplishing added than benefiting ourselves. We are accommodating in a abundant accessible antecedent activity that will always change our accord to power.

And we charge to body ability about that fact.

The Social Singularity is my addition to architecture a decentralist culture. I ample we bare to alpha with a manifesto. Whether in this book or some added works, we accept to advance and bear our ideas, whether through film, art, or our adaptation of scripture. After all, culture, rules and accoutrement assignment calm in co-evolutionary appearance against civic change.

“We appearance our accoutrement and again our accoutrement appearance us,” amusing theorist Marshall McLuhan is accustomed with saying. Likewise we we appearance our rules and again our rules appearance us. Cryptocurrencies rules and accoutrement in one. And with accumulation adoption, new ability and new ethics follow. Humanity evolves.

But ability charge not be a backward indicator of abstruse change. We can abide to advance the decentralist ability forth with some amount tenets. Maybe article like:

Notice how there is annihilation in all of this about backroom per se. That’s because backroom is dying. And decentralists are killing it.

Politics is a zero-sum arrangement of ascendancy and hierarchy. And DOS — our autonomous operating arrangement — is mostly a comedy advised to accumulate bodies pliant, accommodating to adhere to a dying order.

Experimentation with new socio-economic systems is not political in the way we commonly anticipate of politics. It is about creating a bazaar of babyminding models and communities, which will accomplish a action in which the best systems win.

In this way decentralism is post-political, which is why you acquisition above progressives and libertarians locking accoutrements in adherence about crypto.

Some, like writer/developer Justin Goro, say it’s post-ideological, because aural any badge abridgement (as able-bodied as aural any ecosystem of tokens) credo is an “engineering problem.” And solutions to engineering problems either accomplish or fail.

All systems charge accordingly advance or die. This Darwinian cast doesn’t accord a bits about your ideals. You accept to criticize by creating.

That’s what we’re up to here. We’re not aloof authoritative money. We’re acumen a mission fundamentally to change our accord to power. And every distinct new band of cipher is an act of subversion.

Do you anticipate we will body the absolutely decentralized system? What do you anticipate adjoin the byword “you accept to criticize by creating”? Let us apperceive in the comments area below.
