Anarcholypse: A Quiet Revolution

I read a lot of posts where I see people trying to incorporate what this site is to the world they already know. One article recently suggested how it would implement into a corporation structure perfectly. If that is the case it could be said it can apply to a governing structure as well. I think you are wrong and here is why.

Intellectual Property Authorization

Pretty standard for most companies is the agreement that anything you develop, work on or create using any of the resources of the company, or on company time, is theirs. While using an incentivized production program may work for a corporation, using a blockchain to implement that program ties it inherently to that person. The solution is a work profile, which again says that this employee is an intellectual asset to the company, and less a person. The rights of the organization are held above the rights of the person. Lastly, the model that you seek to emulate and apply to a governing structure allows anyone to view the information of anyone. We can all go to @dan's (or @ned @smooth etc etc) profile and see exactly their activity. Shit doesn't roll uphill in that world, what CEO would allow that?

Quality Producers, Don't Want to Manage

I have yet to meet a great writer, that wishes they could stop writing and instead manage writers. These same people, will often gladly take time to help a fellow aspiring writer. The majority of managers typically don't want to do the work, and instead act as the representative of the group, taking responsibility, and often credit, for the work done. I fail to see their role when every member within a group is incentivized to find the best answer amongst their group. The role of a manager is not needed unless the information is departmentalized and a spokesman needed to relay the relevant details.
#Engineers and Dreamers
I consider these two to be the parents of the current blockchain. Whatever the reason for its creation, it was quickly adopted by the anarchists as a means to have some control over something a governing body said they have no control over. Today, the fact that bitcoin is a currency is not a question based on that vision. Other questions evolved about how to stabilize the value and accomplish a method of distribution that was beyond the mining aspect, which puts the means of acquisition out of the hands of the general public. The solution, give everyone a means to acquire some of this magic internet money.

How It Starts

A common misconception is that steemit rewards for content. I completely disagree and instead say it rewards for participation. This can be seen already through curation rewards and comment upvotes. It is shown though the people working together to promote each other, not to manage the content they want to see, but to promote another voice that shares their view of what's valuable. The reason isn't to profit off of someone else's work, I am sure if the steempower was tradable they would also give that to the author. It becomes about working together to achieve a goal, not profiting off of someone else's work. It's a musician being able to promote a musician without a record label paying them pennies on the dollar.
This Isn't Where It Ends
The end game is not the polishing of this site to present to the general public. It's merely the end of the first part. Once that happens we begin to have commerce. People using the rewards for barter/trade. What changes when some of the basic neccesaties for life become independant of the current system?

Let's Shrink This Down

We have a community of 60,000 spread out over a wide area geographically. What does it look like if it weren't? A small city if 60,000 where each of us is a citizen. Then what is viewed as contribution begins to change. I could organize a group of people who just cleaned the streets every day. My effort isn't paid for by a tax placed on the people, it is paid from from the people who appreciate my work, or possible express disproval at the work I have done. I become rewarded for my contribution, I grow a stronger vote to place on things of importance to me as well as the currency that trickles back to the people as I buy goods to survive.
I am not an economist so bear with this analogy, but the current way is a top down distribution. It's controlled from the top, and designed to ultimately flow back up to groups at the top. This is a change to that, it becomes a communally distributed currency. It is distributed amongst the people through their vote, and ultimately trickles back down to those same people. Wether my vote grows power through providing a service, selling goods or entertaining it all goes back to my role and vote. It's hard to imagine this on a global scale, but steemit has challenged me to try.

Nuhuh... Cuz Whales

I admit. There's a problem with visibility of contribution right now, one I feel the community has taken it on themselves to help address. The answer though isn't a mass distribution of power, that simply grants people that came here for money some money, while weakening the voice of someone here for change. How also does it help anyone who hasn't joined yet? The only responsible way to do this is slowly... Give a little and see what is done with it. The problem again I see isn't what the whales do, it's how much they have to do.

Also, I have to come to hate how these terms have comes to be thought of. Whales and Dolphins, whenever I read them it is used in a context that implies a privileged few. All of them have contributed to become what they are, wether it was development of the platform or financing it. When I see Whale I don't see a privileged class, I see a power contributor and challenge you to accept the same.
