What if a new continent is discovered?

2023-04-14

• Since physical body is one, there were two choices: “cross to the new continent” or “don’t cross”.

  • mobile voting

• New Continent became a community of those who chose to “cross over to the new continent.”

  • Formation of early adopter groups

• A body that can be divided does not have to choose between them.

• Examples of bodies that can be divided: attention, monetary capital

• There are things that should be divided and things that should not be divided.

• Different people have different ideas of what they think the appropriate balance should be.

  • This means one vote per person not a vote.
    • Quadratic Voting.
    • Unfortunately, the reality is not QV.

• I have to think about what kind of vote I’m casting.

  • Some people vote 0.
    • Maybe I just don’t think about it.
    • but that is the person’s decision to make.
  • Vote now or vote later.
    • This is also a decision
  • How I feel now - I think it’s a good idea to allocate monetary capital as much as you allocate attention.
