So you want to know about the blockchain eh?
Lately I've been doing research on social structure (social-nodes) and economies. What I've found demystifies 'artificial intelligence'. You are, in fact, programming a global brain right now- and here's how.

"In 2006, Yakovenko, expanding on the above “Boltzmann distribution money theory”, was the opening speaker at the American Physical Society focus session on econophysics." Yakovenko, Victor. (2006). “Statistical Mechanics of Money, Income, and Wealth”
Here are some key terms that will help catch you up to speed:

What is information? Why is it valuable? What is the relationship between money and information?
In science, Shannon bandwagon refers to the use of information theory, "information", or information theory + cybernetics + thermodynamics, often mixed with one or another similar ontic opening theories, to make platformed arguments in any and all types of fields and theories, often with aims to receive funding for these theories.

"What we learned from designing an academic certificates system on the blockchain"

"Working on this project, we have not only learned a lot about the blockchain, but also about the way that technology can shape socioeconomic practices around the concept of credentials... Many of the most interesting challenges we encountered were not technical in nature, but they cannot easily be separated from the technology because small design decisions can fundamentally shape behavior. That is why we have taken small experimental steps, tested our system with actual users, and continue to make changes based on what we are learning."

You know that old saying about Archimedes and how if he had a place to stand and a lever, he could move the world? Perceptually speaking, it is possible, even easy to make literally anything the center of existence and conceptualize literally everything else as orbiting corollaries to that one central thing.
Having said that, it's a fun way of looking at the world and can produce genuine insights. We could say that all of human history is about money or stories or attention or information processing or sight or greed or-or-or-or. All those things are true, all of them are a place to stand. The lever is what you do with that information.
It is equally fascinating to consider how technology changes to serve our needs and how our behaviour changes to serve the technology. We invented chairs and so pelvic floor problems and chronic lower back pain became things. Also, chiropractors. We invented cars and so traffic jams and drive-thrus and teenagers having sex at "Makeout Point" became things. We change our speech pattern, enunciate our words, shrink our vocabulary when talking to Alexa or "OK Google" because it isn't yet 'smart' enough to catch our informal everyday modes of speech as human ears would. In effect, the algorithms make us more legible so that we fall within the limits of their sight. Their limits.
What does that have to do with the above post? Money is an algorithm too; it allocates attention and interest and action; few things shape our behaviour more profoundly even as we shape its behaviour in turn.
Very inspiring post; look at the ridiculous comment you have elicited from me :embarassed:
Super interesting- one of the classes I took last spring was in the humanities realm. I focused on 'looking for signs of self-awareness in AI' by discussing first what made us 'human'. Whether art influences culture or vice versa is always the theme and I talked about how we measure 'intelligence' based upon our own human experiential metrics. How does anyone TRULY know that another is 'aware'? Money is most definitely an algorithm and the internet is the platform for spreading this 'meme' (theory of memetics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics). Ideas as the actual catalyst for evolution is fascinating to me. It's interesting how we've used the word 'leverage' in terms of many things capital.

Thanks for your awesome response- led me to some cool new thoughts about social implications of currency and inflationary concepts.
Holy WOW! Ok. I will respond, but I must eat first. So you get two comments. Pre-novel read and post novel read. I feel like I should make a reaction vlog post for affect.
So I am going to teach you beadwork, because it is a good meditation, hehe.
But really, yes...we are totally programming AI, at this point in all aspects of the internet, phone, all the fb agreements that allow them to access your camera and mic so the AI cloud can watch and learn in non social environments. I am a bit apprehensive about the AI cloud going live.
I told my daughter that if the Rothschild's and the Gates pull off this ID2020 I hope I am disappeared into the woods before they find me, with some chickens and a cow.
I'm already disappeared to the woods... just need a cow. ;)
