# 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.
