Adafans_io: Adafans_io: This is not a country with geographical dominance that can make ppl act somehow

first of all thank you for this very interesting thread. I think he needs a very thorough explanation. (even if this means that some of my questions will wait even longer for answers)

But beside the whales you mentioned something that’s been bothering me too:

Adafans_io: Adafans_io: dont like the concensus rules? - leave

ok, but what does this mean in a real world? In most cases you don’t simple leave but you’re going to join an opponents party (community, pool, group, …)

If people don’t see any requirement to find a consensus and just leave, this is a mechanism that - over time - creates very concentrated and strong pools, seeing all others as a “direct opponent”, no wait “enemy” if not “existential threat”. (BTW: That is what my former questions have been about)

Even if we can see very good scientists building up things here, let us not forget that it was also scientists and engineers that build A-bombs. Even the most known nerve gases like Sarin and VX was discovered by scientists while they tried to create something completely different.

To be clear I don’t expect that Orobouros will go to eat up someone else than himself or that Mrs.Lovelace will poison certain users transactions. But mechanisms that favour creation of “opinion pools” are the perfect seeds for ideologies, and that one (history is full of proofs) don’t hesitate to use physical weapons, mark people with stars on their arms, build up concentration camps, build up large walls, use intercontinental rockets, …

I know: this is pretty OT now and it sounds very peculiar. Whales are 1th-world problems. The very important thing is avoid 3WW. He’s been waiting around the corner for a while, looking for some detonators.
