I think this illustrates the problem perfectly....
By 'problem', I mean faux perspectives, willful blindness, and even down right delusion...(delusion is an acknowledged mental illness in the DSM manual of psychiatric disorders)
"We're not inward looking, self congratulatory circle jerkers" - Perspectives are funny...
This excerpt below was written in a recent post.
This shows that, contrary to what some might believe, Blurt remains a vibrant and active blockchain.
The entire post was essentially an inward looking, tech heavy blurb that would only appeal to the other techies. (ie, not the other 99% of the population).
It also received the highest amount of upvotes for a post that I've seen for a while.
"We're not inward looking, self congratulatory circle jerkers, I tell ya's" - Perspectives are funny...
The circle jerk* techies still don't see the problem (this is across hive an steem to, it's a collective circle jerk that transcends mere brand, and engulfs the entire DPoS crypto sphere.
CIRCLE JERK - When a bunch of blowhards - usually politicians - get together for a debate but usually end up agreeing with each other's viewpoints to the point of redundancy, stroking each other's egos as if they were extensions of their genitals (ergo, the mastubatory insinuation). Basically, it's what happens when the choir preaches to itself.
(urban dictionary)
In the metaphorical sense, the term is used to refer to self-congratulatory behavior or discussion among a group of people, usually in reference to a "boring or time-wasting meeting or other event".

But, getting back to the hilarious one liner above (I'm not even gonna bother linking to it - I'm not here to fight, believe it or not - just laugh).
This shows that, contrary to what some might believe, Blurt remains a vibrant and active blockchain.
Let me do a quick count up of the last days postings, to compare the statement, with facts and figures...
Ok, after a quick scan, in total, around 340 posts.
Minus blurt centric posts and obvious AI/spam posts - we're probably talking nearer the 300 mark.
The result is 12,915 distinct active accounts since the start of the Blurt Blockchain...
So, 12k active accounts and 300 posts...Mmmm....
There are also around 170 comments.
Minus the bot upvotes and single line entries to competitions - I estimate it's around the 90 - 100.
This shows that, contrary to what some might believe, Blurt remains a vibrant and active blockchain.
Do you see a disconnect with this statement, and the actual (rough) numbers?
What could be the reason ?
Willful blindness?
Trying to keep the 'hopium plates' spinning, in the face of evidence? (suggesting nefarious motives, imo).
Stupidity?
Delusion?
I neither know, nor care, at this point.
What I do know is that my war game (kriegsspiel) is sounding more and more ethical, by the minute.
How so?
Ethics are actions based on moral frame works.
Morals are a value system, two of which could be 'right and wrong', or 'good and 'bad'...
I see nothing 'right' - or 'good' - about the DPoS system.
It has nothing to do with the individuals, but the very structure itself, ergo - there are no negative moral issues involved as things are not people.
So, my kreigsspiel will be about the war gaming the structure.
Anyone wishing to defend the structure - is on them.
Anyone defending the structure, will be seen by others 'looking in'.
What judgement they make on individuals actively defending a corrupt structure, is up to them.
But, I have a website(s) to get up and running first....I do hope that blurt is still around by then...
May the best side win !
(although I do find it a little one sided to be honest...)
Vibrant ???
It hit the rail ,. somersaulted in to the bush ,. and lies there ,. vibrating still a bit from that crash .
That kind of vibrant ? ,. i think it must be .
;-)
I suppose it might be a language thing...kinda makes much more sense...
Yeah i got the picture .
Ohhhhhhhh -, thanks for blurt, matey- site registration is a go ! lol
Hopefully @opidia wants to be a shareholder to! (as well as doing some you tube, narration voice overs)
