I really appreciate you took the time to share your feelings. I agree that on it's face dantheman's post seems genuine and also agree he seems unaware how his own ego makes him think that he has reached enlightenment.
dantheman says "Any economic system of voluntary rules and incentives I create will struggle to gain traction unless it is used and operated by enlightened individuals."
Rules dantheman creates may be voluntary for others, but the choices will be follow them or go elsewhere and I'm afraid if some of the "enlightened" whales on Steemit don't start accepting that controversy and debate should be encouraged on this platform they will kill this platform with kindness.
Despite my misgivings about his reasoning I did vote up his post because he took some time to write it and I'm a nice guy.
Thanks again for your support.
