RE: How to create a meaningful Blockchain Constitution

in #eos7 years ago (edited)

Government is a wonderful idea that saved Western civilization by the skin of its teeth (quoting Kenneth Clark) from The Dark Ages. The problem is not governance itself, but the bad players that ruin it. Humans are inherently utterly self-obsessed. We are dictated by primal instincts that may have been crucial for survival a million years ago, but are not necessary today.

By human nature, there have been many corrupt governments - but getting rid of governance is not the solution. Human aggression does not go away with governance. If there's one thing Steem has proved, it's that not everyone acts selflessly, even when they have a large stake in the society. And plenty behave poorly when they don't have much at stake. There will always be some that act selfishly and violently. Thank goodness Steem is a virtual society, otherwise people would have been hurt - we have seen our fair share of death and violent threats by highly staked Steem accounts.

The key is to remove the human aggression aspect. The ultimate solution will have to come from unbiased and objective strong artificial intelligence. I'm glad you're thinking along similar lines. Blockchain-based smart contracts / constitution starts us off on a journey towards that end goal. Keep up the great work - very eager to learn more about EOS.

Block Producers can Expel Accounts in Bad Standing

We need this feature on Steem urgently. There have been a fair few abusive accounts, and flagging them to death is an inelegant solution; and they still continue spamming. Their spam as comments to new accounts or popular posts is very costly for a social platform.
