RE: Hive morning chats: The idea of curating people

From your experience base of years on the Hive blockchain, how common and genuine is this viewpoint with other accounts? Particularly with those one might call "controlling interest" accounts? Specifically, contrasting it with what one might call the "echo chamber" variety of most of the interactions I have read?

There are some people on here, that to their own detriment, only listen when the other person has a big wallet. To me that's myopic. I know personally of people who began their Hive journey with nothing and have huge accounts now. You don't really know who that person will become. Also, good ideas can come from anyone, and we should be humble enough to know we cannot possibly know all the answers.

I guess you could say Hive is a digital reflection IRL dynamics. Make of that what you will. I happen to feel comfortable understanding this fact.

All that said, Echo chambers are nothing new either. It's a mission of mine to not get trapped into one myself, but I work actively at this, and it may be that I'm just under the illusion that I'm succeeding at it to some degree.

Back from going outside and walking around in the sunlight, I appreciate your response, @meno. From the little bit I have contributed content on my account, some may notice I like the idea of key words. Words are powerful. So, in your response, are there any which stand out?

Myopic. Humble.

As succinctly as I can manage, here are some related thoughts:

Myopic. I would broaden your use of this word to those who have a big wallet. Does continuous improvement and growth result more from prosperity or adversity? If the latter, as I would argue, what happens when we begin to enjoy a little bit of prosperity, as a result?

Humble. You and I may find some common ground in agreeing how rare this characteristic is, particularly when combined with the word successful. If one ever possesses any genuine humility, what challenge do they face in retaining it, with increasing success?

Thank you for providing an opportunity to have a little bit of interaction. FWIW, I would encourage you to continue to do all you can, from your position of influence, to challenge the controlling interests on this blockchain to seek input from those with different viewpoints.

You never know who is reading any of this content and what decisions they are making, as a result. Particularly if they are left with the perception that speaking up is a waste of their time, if not worse.
