RE: Will 3D printers create decentralization of the world?

in #history5 years ago (edited)

"Can 3D printers destroy the centralization system dominated by Zaibatsu (財閥 tsu, "financial clique") in East Asia and complete the decentralization system?"

Not alone. It is the concatenation of many means of production together that renders centralization obsolete, not any one of them. Many people believe that cryptocurrency will overturn the world order, but we see today that all cryptocurrencies are controlled by the legacy financial system through exchanges, and necessarily must be exchanged for fiat, which is held in banks. Crypto becomes just another speculative mechanism for the legacy financial industry through this device.

But cryptocurrency can be spent without being first exchanged for fiat, to vendors that accept it, so it retains the ability to bypass the controls the financial system imposes. Recently the TON was abandoned by it's creator (Telegram), because it was attacked by the SEC and could not be used as purposed. It had a use case that enabled it to bypass the legacy financial system, so the captive regulators of the banksters shut it down.

If you have a 3D printer and choose to accept BTC for your products, those transactions can bypass the entire economic mechanism that is parasitized by banksters. However, you will need to exchange that BTC for fiat to buy food, pay your rent, or your power bill. Thus it is the full range of decentralized production mechanisms that render Daibatsu and Chaebol powerless. You can grow your own food with aquaponics, produce your own electricity with solar, and do other things to pay your rent. I perform services for goodwill, which then is exchanged by those possessing it for fiat necessary to pay my bills. I don't pay them myself, but others for whom I have rendered services do.

It is not simple, nor easy, and no one has a step by step guide how to do it, but I figure it out as I go. It is necessary for people to decentralize in their own way, as individually suitable and convenient, because that prevents simple means of preventing decentralization by centralized institutions.

"Japanese Zaibatsu (財閥, "financial clique") dominate Japan from the Middle Ages to the present. They are in a position similar to China's Warlords, loved by @Valued-customer.😂"

I had to laugh when you said I loved Chinese warlords!

I do appreciate very much your deep understanding of the history of Asia I have not been taught. Having no occasion to feel the need to know it, I have neither learned it on my own, focusing on other things. However, it clearly is integral to our discussion, and my nescience could cause me to be wrong because society in Asian countries is very different than in America. Because I am in America and have not learned about Asian societies, I assume that they are the same as the society I know.

That is not true at all, and it is very wise of you to point it out.

However, it seems to me that supply and demand, cause and effect, are universal principles, and thoughtful consideration of how modern technology enables new ways of producing supplies to fill demands can be done everywhere there are people. It is sometimes necessary for society to change, and people need to do things that aren't socially acceptable for that to happen.

It will happen in Korea, and it is happening in America. I have a closet in which I raise chickens. This is socially unacceptable. Pretty girls I meet in dance clubs won't hang their coats in my closet, but I get blue chicken eggs every day, which I actually need, unlike thots from dance clubs. This is why I don't go to dance clubs, but do have gardens in the forest, and chickens in my closet.

I am socially unacceptable, and there are probably laws I am breaking, but I am changing the world the way I want it to change.

Thanks!

Honorable senior. I am always admired for your excellent sentences and wisdom. By the way, my English is low, so it is difficult to understand your sentence. Thanks!

I wish I wrote more simply. I do not. You seem to keep up well, despite having to translate, so I know you are smart, while I am too stupid to speak plainly.

You write as easily as possible, because I'm not good at English. I have to study English a lot. hahaha
