Have your read parts of larimer's book "More Equal Animals" I am sure you know he was the developer who was behind bitshares, steem (the original code from which hive forked) - and a few other things.
It has some interesting musings on the right to "opt out" of systems. :)
I haven't read the book, but I have spoken to Dan a few times on Hive. I appreciate the heads up.
Thanks!
