You shitting me about colored crap, hah hah, i need to try this lol
Regarding opinnion. Mine would not change until it has personal negative impact on me personally, it is your stake and you are free to do with it whatever system allows, downvote my posts of you do not like them for example. (Well then my opinnion might shift though lol I'm just a programmed biorobot after all)
This might come from my libertarian beliefs but all this wraps around the concept of decentralisation. You are free to to whatever you see fit. Is not this the reason why we are all spending time and trying to work on a solution, where each actor is behaving according to the system of pre programmed rules? Acting as he sees it fit? And it is funny to me when other members start moralising and introducing moral and ethical rules on how one is supposed to behave. Cmon, stop it or develop a system that incentivises desired behavior.
On the other hand there are many actors, and if you start downvoting my posts i might go on a revenge trail, sell my car, buy a big stake and start downvoting all of your posts too. While this being irrational it is still an option, and it all settles in some form of equilibrium.
But if/when the system fails to reach equilibrium and dies of, it means it was designed poorly and all actors suffer as a consequence (but too few people look that far and are victims of public ignorance: "let the others do the right thing).
In that case system cease to exist or is redesigned to better fit the concept of equilibrium, which basically is the ultimate goal for any sustainable environment.
And oh well, since i am also quite a nihilist, even systems in equilibrium cease to exist because universe is expanding lol
It looked like that fennel candy in Indian restaurants :)
I think that if you had some opinion (especially a good one) of someone it would change how you see them. If it is a bad opinion already, it will fit with expectations.
That is what is slowly happening. What those desired behaviors are though is difficult in a decentralized environment, so it will only ever be a line of best fit.
And it isn't only on Steem. There are reasons that the world of humans is the way it is. Us.
