This is real genocide. America ought to open our borders for these hard working productive folks. It is a pending humanitarian disaster.

then the world should emulate our example. greater prosperity and freedom for all.

I meant content creator too. We are responsible for what we put out there. The USA isn’t the world. There are lots of other countries, so good to prefix US if talking about US gov. Governance of issues impacting the world involving the entire world is generally a good thing.
governance by whom though? that is the issue. American civil liberties are the gold standard that clear headed, freedom loving, desiring people WW WANT, seek. I'm sorry, but I will never lower my rights top accommdate lesser freedom loving countries/cultures. USA out of UN.
another example of agenda driven partisanship

PSA for all peepeth community, the good news is 2 of 3 of you are not subject to the annual federal tax extraction. The bad news is you have to work at getting it back. Fortunately, a good man has done the heavy lifting for us. http://losthorizons.com/Cracking_the_Code.htm
Replying to @Brando (0xa3e5615035ad34cdc2348d5a44ecb22fba18109e)
Well much thanks. I’ll be thanking you even more around sometime next year.. 😉
don't thank me, thank Peter Hendrickson, he did the heavy lifting, I'm just a messenger. btw, I also filed amended returns for last 3 years, got 2 back, 3rd in progress. paid off my bobcat, installed refridg. a/c on house & took my girl for 2 weeks vacay to Key West. cheers

not mad, i can assure you. :) i just ask questions based on perceived tone. your answer tells me that you care, whereas, based on past experiences of my own, many in a teaching position do not. just like anyone else, you have frustrations with the system as well. i respect that.
Cheers, and forgive my tone, but in my defense I am former military and tend to be a tad direct, sometimes too direct for most folk, however, in person it isn't too bad to deal with. just an aside and I will try to reign it in in future. Additionally, my passion is freedom!

Content is the responsibility of the person creating it. A developer can filter, even censor but it is the creator who is responsible for the content. No one can block anyone from posting via the smart contract. People can be blocked from posting via a front end.
I somewhat agree, btw, I meant content creator/poster, not developer as u understand the term. Aside, prev admin wanted to allow UN to regulate the internet--& certain congress critters still do-- how does that figure into censorship concerns iyo?

Alejandro...traitors they are! I can only imagine that Sessions is playing this hide and seek game because he is about to unleash on these traitors but, time is running out.. If nothing done by elections, President Trump needs to clean house and take the temp political hit.

That's the beauty of it. It's 100% open. You can vet it yourself, tweak it yourself, rebuild it yourself. I am generally distrusting of "black boxes" - this tech is going to make transparency relatively EASY... we just need a little more infrastructure for user friendliness.
then if that is the case I can agree, however, and not to belabor the issue and I gotta go, but i responded to what i saw as folk wanting to censor other content, that's all. g'day and cheers for your patience with my learning curve on this medium.

Can you define, for the sake of my own sanity, what you are referring to when you say "technocrat"? Thank you.
tech·noc·ra·cy
tekˈnäkrəsē/Submit
noun
the government or control of society or industry by an elite of technical experts.
an instance or application of technocracy.
plural noun: technocracies
an elite of technical experts.

I feel like you two are on the same page, actually. No? isn't @ian saying yeah, that's not right and blockchain will help... And you're saying it's def not right, people should steer themselves... And he's saying blockchains will empower people steer themselves... 🤔
perhaps, I suppose my failure is not knowing a great deal about blockchain, but I am always suspicious about something steering or directing according some algo or some such I did note originate myself

People can tailor their speech for their environment. If you shout in a library you are asked to be quiet.
or thrown out, as would happen if we allow a technocrat to have the authority to do that. My point is, content is the responsibility of the developer, the free, open market will decide whether to consume or not. see the difference. No censorship or control, just free decisions
Replying to @ian (0x1b6a6072c8eac4ec04b171e9e665786a60d4925f)
i agree. however, there is infinite content on the web and we rely on centralized mediums to access it. decentralized replacements to these systems should steer people towards legitimate, factual content. i believe we can do it in a way that is agendaless and transparent.
again with the "steering" thingy. I wholeheartedly disagree because I know no one can be trusted to do it agendalessly. You may not agree, fine. This is why we have the 1stA and why the various soc mediums are WRONG to shadow ban and close sites that someone doesn't like

this all aligns with my argument fam, centralized institutions can censor people at whim.
I never disputed that, my issue is, has always been, that censoring speech is NOT what we ought to be shooting for, rather, freer speech and more of it is what is needed, and people choose for themselves what to partake of. agreed?

using that article as evidence that you shouldn't trust other humans is fallacious. your boy stefan molyneux would be unhappy with you.
not exactly what I meant to convey. I meant to say if you start out foolishly believing in a false ideal, you gotta be ready to pay the price. I'm not afraid of rattle snakes, but I don't go out of my way to handle them, though they are great deep fried wrapped in bacon

i'm not saying it's a foolproof system, and we have to work out all the kinks to make it work, but it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now. what is an alternative you wold propose?
total de-regulation, prosecute all attempts to monopolize and violations of 1stA rights, for starters.
Replying to @ian (0x1b6a6072c8eac4ec04b171e9e665786a60d4925f)
decentralized systems, while requiring technocratic skills to design, remove the need for trust in the technocracy! anyone can learn the skills to peep under the hood with full transparency, so any bias or agenda can be illuminated.
sure, yet, as ES has imformed us, it can and has be used for nefarious purposes. btw, Clowns In America financed via a front corp twitter, facebook, youtube, amazon, etc, etc. recent censorship of so called conservative users is part of an agenda. people screwing over people

Revoking Security Clearance, whether Top Secret, Secret or Confidential is not a right! President Trump has every right to revoke any clearance held by any individual for most likely any reason. This is not a First Amendment debate.
AFREAKIN'-A-Right! bannon's a crook and a traitor and POTUS must cancel the clearances of ALL the rest of the previous administration, they are still undermining the republic. traitors all.

There's a fair amount of philosophical work that attempts to show we all actually, generally, agree - if we just take the time to pin down our terminology well enough. I think it might be on to something, the more I witness conversations around here.
AHA! again, my point exactly free speech can be ugly at times, then again, it is truly all we have to try to establish a more perfect union and betterment of all. yet there are some here who have muted my or are triggered by my message and get pissy. no matter, I persist

The pace of innovation and tech advancement also probably doesn't help. A couple hundred years ago - your fathers world would have been much more similar to your own. [Aside, If a youth is indoctrinated - it must have been by / a byproduct of the older generations.]

Absolutely, there is some ingratitude - we build on every generation before us, we have so much to be grateful for... I think it comes from systemic inequity (often while we are taught, conflictingly, that everyone should be treated equal) and what is seen as unfair rules.
AHA! precisely my point! I call it the human factor, and it can ruin the best of plans or ideas. the best laid plans of mice and men, etc . . . .

A majority of the crypto space is in your age range... you must know the annoyance of the elderly litigating tech they don't understand and calling younger generations lazy. As the wealth continues to concentrate. The have failed to consider future generations time and again.
and yet it is bcuz of our "elders" that we have what we do have. I detect a note of ingratitude, but no issue with me. Not "lazy" just indoctrinated and ignorant of objective reality.

I think people could trade crypto with promissory notes if the lights went out. Neighbors can generally trust each other - we survived that way for eons. Distrust - especially distrust of people so close - is a modern thing. Sad, really. Not saying we should diminish our rights.
"modern thing?!?" disagree. I live on a reservation and let me tell you, provincial mindset aside, I've seen families fight over such schtoopid shit as gramdma's jewelry or land surveys--not unique to the rez. as I said, I know whom/what to trust.

I just want to touch on the last point briefly - lots of the world doesn't have the "1st Amendment". This is a global issue - I agree that the internet monopolies have too much power. Hopefully, blockchains will help with that. We need more collaboration & crypto incentivizes it
so r u saying we diminish our rights bcuz the rest of the world controls their sheeple? btw, I have lots of crypto as a hedge and move against fiat $, but I also have lots of metals, irrigated fields, cattle, tangibles, etc. crypto is 1 emp attack from bust.

Great ideas come from people to begin with. Some people are not out for the best interest of their neighbors - and that's was normally results in the corruption of great ideas. Our modern world is people, people all the way down - layers and layers of people and their ideas.
Agreed, but how would it be altered by someone or group of technocrats "regulating" or "steering" content or "quality" etc, etc. Don't know why this is such a problematic issue for millennials who probably can't name all 5 parts of 1stA with googling it.

HA! I'm not afraid of anything or anyone--well, some critters with more than 4 legs, but that aside, my point is censorship is wrong, anti-American, anti-free thinking, illicit . . . I don't, nor should you or anyone else, trust any "system" to regulate speech/content, etc

Sorry, but no cigar. A free thinking and truth seeking people don't need regulation nor others to "steer people away from BS." This is a statist mentality and CAN'T be done properly or otherwise without resorting to absolutism

Further, why do "elites" spend so much time and energy moving assets to tax havens if they could simply change the manner in which they fill out their tax returns?
the federal "income" tax falls on investment receipts; capital gains, dividends, rents, etc. IOW, the type of wealth (income) peculiar to the "elites." Private sector earnings of workers is NOT subject to the federal excise tax. its that simple.
