+# Secession from the broadcast
+
+It's time to travel to the edges because this is where the interesting stuff
+happens.  "What is popular" is rarely a question that helps finding edges.
+I'd like to recap what i learned in 15 months of my re-juvenated and
+re-energized quest into decentralization and what it might mean.  
+
+For one, I'd like to forward a question from Gene Youngblood's
+[Secession from the broadcast lecture][1]: "how can we create on the
+same scale as we can destroy?".  Gene suggests we need to move away from
+the "audience nation" by becoming "political actors" instead of
+"interested spectators of action".
+
+Second, I paraphrase a thought from Adam Ierymenko's [I want to
+believe][2]: If full decentralization is technically too hard currently,
+can we construct and make use of a "Blind Idiot God" (BIG) instance
+which co-ordinates some communication but can not abuse it or even
+understand what's going on precisely?  
+
+Lastly, I wonder how can we create sustained systems and services if we
+don't want the centralized web service cash cow control model?
+As Laura Kolbag [3] pointed out recently in Nuernberg, paying
+for software might not be so bad if the "free to use" models 
+mean surveillance and centralized control. And she notes
+that design and useability should drive open source developments
+instead of features and options.
+
+The edges are where we encounter the others, those who are somehow unlike.
+It's a place where i easily run into fears and look for friends.  At the edges
+there is no central authority suggesting what to think or do next.  And
+the number of people at the edges is always lower than in the center.
+But that's fine, this is how things get moving as i've experienced
+myself a number of times now.
