Hmmm... Are you talking about my debate/discussion? There is no rage, or incivility and people have been pretty cool. Unless you are referring to others.
In fact if you read the last two paragraphs of my latest post you'll see that I am saying a similar thing to you.
I basically say it is hypothetical debate between primarily the idea of property. Thinking for yourself is important, the hypothetical debate is mainly because whether you THINK for yourself will not necessarily stop PROPERTY and whether it is viewed as PRIVATE or PUBLIC has no impact on you.
I also said that in generations down the road if our descendants looked our debate they would likely laugh at how much we got totally wrong.
As to characterizing it as a raging debate that description does fit for places like reddit. People get downright hostile there. I haven't seen any of that here, so I either missed the posts you are referring to or you were exaggerating for emotional appeal in this blog post. If you do see a raging debate please shoot me a link as I missed it.
EDIT: Here is my debate on the topic... has a link to my post that started it in the beginning.
I don't see rage anywhere in that one. Do I see rage and crazy stuff on reddit? YES. I have not seen it here. No name calling, no implication anyone is stupid, etc.
No, not referencing your debate at all. Moreso the hostile attitudes other social media seems to engender. I am pretty impressed with the atmosphere here on Steemit.
You are 100% correct about the rage on other platforms. So far steem seems absolutely GREAT for talking about pretty much anything. I am starting to wonder if the fact you can get paid here coupled with the new reputation system is doing a great job at encouraging people to stay civil. If it is then that is an excellent side effect of this system that I doubt many people predicted.
