Hey, it's him! The prince charming on his white horse! Blockchain is here and is going to save the princess!
In this case, the princess is people. We, the people, whom will be given back the power which has been stolen from us by the evil Illuminati elite! I really have to laugh now!
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!
Yes, there is an elite! Actually, there is more than one elite! And these elites are formed by people who are better than the majority. They are not better or worst than us, they just have more power in their hands.
Let's try again!
Hey, look! Robin Hood is here!
He came to save us! The Blockchain Hood will bring back the decentralization and we all will live happily until we fucking die. I am gonna laugh again!
Ummm! Nope, that's some poor people fantasy.
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!
Let's make something clear!
Decentralization it has been around forever! No matter the circumstances, the place, the time. In any given group of people is that one genius guy/girl who have the potential to get to the top of the world.
The Power is always there to be grabbed, earn, stolen.
- How bad do you want it?
- How much are you willing to sacrifice?
- How hard do you believe in yourself?
- How long are you working on your big idea?
- How many people do you want to have an impact on?
- How are you going to use the power after you got it?
- How many times did you ask yourself these questions?
Quite a few questions indeed! If this is already too complicated for you, press and keep waiting for The Charming Prince to save you :P!
Life is interesting!
Don't you believe it? Is not like I care what you think at this point anyway!
Ups, that's you, and me, and the rest of the world. People are intrinsically selfish and it's natural to be like that. I mean, anything we do it's ultimately in our interest.
For instance, I want to be peace worldwide and for everyone to be happy. Sure enough, I am not wishing that so I can be the only one suffering. Nope, I want to be happy too, and with everyone around me being happy, my chances to be happy are growing considerably. Therefore, wishing for everyone to leave happy and in peace, is in my own interest. Which in other words it means, I am selfish, et Voila!
Many of you are now like , and I totally understand.
This is one way of seeing it, not a very popular one also :).
And there are those who don't get it, not my concern though :D! Still, I love talking on the subject, so I am going to say more.
Doing good is nice, but don't get carried away. That does not make you some saint, most of the time you are just covering your needs (I am in the same bucket). We are all lead by our bodies needs, and the brain is part of the body, but let me break it down for you.
We are souls governed by feelings, and we inhabit these bodies governed by needs! Our thoughts are the language we use to translate feelings, combine them with needs and get a logical answer for our decisions!
The needs!
There are physiological needs and psychological needs. Maslow already did most of the explaining work. However, the body manager(brain) has the hard mission to select and combine everything, in order for us to succeed, but this is getting way too complicated and I don't feel like writing that much. I will try to keep things simple, hopefully, I will figure a way out :).
Basically, we don't take any decision with our brain. Most of the day to day life decisions are taken by our brain without us being aware of that, which is a good thing for survival btw.
The Free will is having nothing to do with daily decisions. These decisions are dependent on the environment and other factors and they are taken using the brain chemistry.
This guy will tell you how that works!
We do exert our free will for only a few times in our entire life. In fact, some people will never do this, which is totally ok. Just because you can do something, it does not mean you should do it. You know, like killing something, or someone :P.
How everything you said makes sense anyway?
It doesn't is just some philosophical nonsense, remember?
Let me exemplify.
I am walking down the street and see a homeless person who is asking for some change. I do have some change in my pocket but that's all I have for that day and I need that money in order to survive. No matter what I will decide, it will make me feel bad. Here we have two needs in conflict:
- Need to survive.
- Need of helping someone else.
Yes, we have that need. Most of us at least and some of us can't escape it.
In this example, we can see that, when there are two or more needs in conflict, the brain will take over and secure his own interest of survival, but we, the pilot, feel bad about it.
That's one decision based on external factors, also called reaction. No free will there, boys and girls, sorry!
Free will based decision is when you decide to plan and work hard to avoid this kind of situations in the future. Simple put, free will require planning.
In order to plan something, you need the knowledge and the understanding of that knowledge. Sorry mate, if you are ignorant and lazy, no free will for you, simple as that.
I hope you get it, I am not a writer anyway, so this is all you get for now :P.
Back to the Blockchain!
Regardless of what you believe, the only thing Blockchain technology and the Bitcoin Protocol are doing is sealing the end of the industrial age.
Yep, we entered a brand new age for some time now, and it's called
The entrepreneurial age!
Today jobs are different than what you would call a normal job. And that comes with a lot of freedom, which scares the shit out of so many people. Yes, freedom is scary, because it comes with the responsibility of your own decisions. Basically, you are forced to use that free will, and ain't easy for all of us :D!
We have to think things through now, moreover, find a meaning of our life. When you have nothing to strive for, you become a victim. Not having real problems to solve, will make the game boring and depression is next stage you are going to.
Abundance is not good always, some people just can't cope with that. We need scarcity in our lives as much as we need pain, is part of the game after all ;).
Is all good though, see you guys later :D!
