I guess in a way I'm fortunate not to understand all of the technical aspects of the blockchain and Steemit's role. I just create the best content I can and hope for the best, confident that you guys "up there" know what you're doing.

Hoping for the best is one strategy, but I'd also love to see more people "up there" explaining things in easy-to-understand ways so everyone's perspective is valued and heard.
That's one of the things I like about your posts- even I can understand them. I try to read these "techie" posts and I can't get past the first paragraph. I'm 72 years old and know how to write.. to me a computer is a glorified (and very convenient) typewriter. I just got a new phone (LG X Power) and will probably die before I understand it.
Hahah... Well, I commend you for stretching well beyond what you're used to. Just imagine what crazy things I'll have to adapt to as my children get into virtual reality and augmented reality technologies which may be indistinguishable from physical reality?!? It's going to get weird.
I know, I'm still trying to reconcile myself to the idea of AI... I watched a video that says that it will constantly rewrite its own algorithms perfecting itself to the point where we'll become like Neanderthals (thankfully, it will be you guys and not me that have to deal with it). I fear for my grandchildren and great grandchildren's becoming obsolete in a world that we created.
Yep. I've written a bit about that myself and try to follow that space closely. My hope is we'll evolve ourselves right along with them and enter some kind of transhumanism state. Otherwise, we don't stand a chance.
I don't know if you've seen this or not, but it's the video I was talking about...
Good summary of the issues. I a good read on this topic is Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
