Comment on Disintermediation Theory (And, 5 reasons people complain instead of seeking disintermediation) by lion

I checked out Mesquita on big think last night after posting. It seems we’re all on more or less the same page, but what if a leader had a position of power entrenched enough that he didn’t need to resort to shady means of keeping it.

I’m glad you brought up God before I did; I refrained from posting this last night: if everything is God’s will, and what is true on Earth shall be so in Heaven then God would be the sum of humanity and nature (which humanity is rapidly overtaking). If God is th...

Comment on Disintermediation Theory (And, 5 reasons people complain instead of seeking disintermediation) by Taylor Pearson

Not sure I follow to be honest.

If I’m interpreting you correctly, the central point I would contend with is “Well the less the distribution, the more it does in fact matter who the individual is.”

Let’s assume I’m God and I decide I want to improve conditions in a country ruled by a dictator. Is it a better route to choose someone who I think will be a better dictator or convert into a republic/democracy?

Pressfield is the man. The War of Art is one of my all time favorites :).

I don’t think you misinterpreted the article. I do think power is a zero sum game. Taking it from someone is not necessarily a bad thing. Taking power from a dictator and giving people the right to vote for instance.

Comment on Disintermediation Theory (And, 5 reasons people complain instead of seeking disintermediation) by Chrissy

This seems to tie in quite nicely with a book that I am reading “The War of Art” by Pressfield. That book talks about the reason for not doing good work is due to resistance. Its up to you to actually put in the hard work in order to achieve success as the resources are there for you use (internet has helped greatly with this). Although I am not convinced that I must take it away from someone else who’s using it (or to disintermediate someone). Maybe I’ve misinterpreted this point of the arti...
