RE: Announcing the Delegation Committee

in #committee5 years ago (edited)

Steemit INC is a centralized business and their stake is theirs.

I understand that part. I was merely pointing out the slight conflict of interest. @aggroed has contributed a lot to our ecosystem, no doubt about it.

It just seems odd to have him participate in the figurative executive, legislative, and judicial branch all at the same time.

I'm sure we will be fine, though. This place needs strong leaders to lead it out of the bear.

Sort:  

Aggroed is just a beast TBH. He steps up and takes on responsibly like a champion. Hats off to him.

Yes, let's place more conspiracy nuts into power positions. What a great idea.

Oh, Christ...he's a conspiracy nut too? Like a flat-earther, or just a run-of-the-mill conspiracy theorist?

The US orchestrated 9/11 kind of conspiracy theorist. I recall he thinks the earth is flat as well, I think we talked about that on the subway when I met him a few years back. His PhD in chemistry is not an illustration of his capacity for logical thought.

He's not a mean guy, I can give him that. However some of the early conversations I had with him, will forever discredit him to me.

You can certainly find blogs of his where he refers to himself as a "truther" which is just a cutie term for nutbag. There's a good reason why the man's own family doesn't enjoy his presence.

Good grief.

WOW so your attacking the man saying his own family doesnt like him? How the FUCK would you know?

And you THINK hes a flat earther? Now thats a "Micro slander" if I ever read one!

What if someone just said they THINK you were a pedophile?

Should we judge peoples character based on some "talk on the subway" you claim to have had?

Im willing to bet money you have never met the man, and are simply another loser jealous of the success he has had, because your own investment in steem didn't turn out so well.

He said so himself in a recent post.

You could bet that money, but we've met more than once. So you would lose the bet.

Oh, I've been here since 2016. My investment in steem turned out just fine :) I've been around for the run from $0.07 to $7.

Nice using a a mans personal diary against him, talking about his personal life and family should be off limits but your a low life who resorts to this so none of your argument matters

your literally trying to argue about a mans family not liking him or not, and using his own journal entry against him like this is some sort of twisted sick court case.

You are 100% jealous of his success or you wouldn't complain. You said yourself youve mad plenty of money so why are you whining?

And You say youve met him more than once, thats no proof of anything and no one cares . Why dont you go try making a game like @steemmonsters go tell us how that works out for you

I mean, OK. He's in the legislative branch. True. Now he's in the judicial. Also true. Executive, not really. However, do you have anyone else you think would be a better fit? He or she must possess the following attributes:

  1. have contributed largely to the ecosystem on steem in a positive and sustainable way
  2. have contributed largely to the social aspect on steem in a positive and sustainable way
  3. have invested their own time/money/resources/efforts/ideas to the growth of the blockchain, with measurable results
  4. have some exceptional ability to understand the genius it requires to succeed on here, enough to actually succeed on here.

Is there politics here? Meh. Sure. There ALWAYS IS! But I'm telling you, I'd rather have him deciding who gets what for the mere fact that he knows what looks like it will work and what won't. We're not here to waste resources. I don't think this is a bad decision. But I guess we'll find out, won't we?

How about you try and give me other names. And we'll debate it.

I guess by your criteria, not even the people who were in the Working Groups of the Foundation would qualify.

But, that's besides the point. Like you said, we wait and see.

I don't know who was in the working groups, and I'm sure they qualify more than anyone else. But I do think the criteria above can't hurt. I think if you're going to be going around delegating buttloads of SP, you oughta have at least some business acumen, and something to show for your dedication and personal investment.

In this case, sunk cost is a motivator....bias or not.
