I want the state as far away from cryptocurrencies as possible.
I feel that people are becoming less and less capable of being social creatures due to the nature of the internet and the fact that people interact over the phone more than they do in real life.
I see this at work all the time. People get extremely irate over something very small and I have to think to myself..... you don't interact people very much in real life do you? I know it's because these people are on their phone all the time on Facebook and not face to face.
Tau sounds like a really interesting tech. The discussions between people I see lately often end in a stalemate with one person getting angry and the other one storming off because nobody even has any idea what they're talking about anymore.
That's because all the information they have is from the internet and half of it is FUD.
That makes it difficult to have a consensus........or even a situation in which social interactions are even functional.
Nevertheless I like the idea of the production of new knowledge so I will definitely check out Tau.
Glad to see you posting...... and glad to see I was able to catch it within the first 10 minutes.
Aside from scalability problems, a large part of consensus failure is due to non rational reasons, such as tribalism (left vs right), loyalty, stubbornness, pride and other emotions
Tau indirectly addresses these too, as it removes most emotions from the equation and users aren't as easily subject to in group - out group manipulation
ohad's new explanation blog is really worth checking out for more details on the project
In other words we can debias which can lead to true decentralization. Also debiasing is necessary to develop AI with increasingly less bias.
