&gt; The difference is that it won&#x27;t be a small group in power, taking away the rights of people. The power will be distributed throughout society, so there isn&#x27;t a single point of failure and&#x2F;or corruption.<p>And here&#x27;s where you fail. What you have missed is that you aren&#x27;t getting rid of power structures. You&#x27;re replacing an <i>explicit</i> set of power structures with equally explicit rules with a set of <i>implicit</i> structures with no explicit rules. From there, I&#x27;m afraid it&#x27;s a total shitshow.<p>You still get single points of failure. You still get corruption. You have just jettisoned your ability to deal with any of them effectively.<p>&gt; There&#x27;s no such thing as an identical balance here, the balance will always be imperfect, but it is up to the individuals in the society to understand this balance, and try to make it as good as it can be.<p>Excuse me. An identical balance <i>for all individuals</i>.  A balance that is good for one person is incredibly bad for another. You&#x27;re imposing uniformity where uniformity is unsuited.<p>&gt; If it helps, consider the new model for inclusivity will be closer to YouTube than TV.<p>I am considering your model. Unfortunately, this model does not suggest what you think it does. Removing <i>explicit</i> filter systems just replaces them with <i>implicit</i> filter systems that accomplish the same tasks. Just as before, you&#x27;re confusing getting rid of explicit power structures with getting rid of power structures.<p>Consider how Digg succumbed to organized influencers. Ask yourself how your system is immune to such things. Hint: it&#x27;s not.<p>&gt; It&#x27;ll take time to move beyond our past programming, but that&#x27;s no reason not to try.<p>Apologize to the dead created by people like you first. Consider how they came to be. Understand risk. Then come back.<p>I realize you think your reasoned discourse can convince, friend. However, all you have convinced me of is that you don&#x27;t understand why past attempts to do exactly what you advocate have failed and why the consequences were so severe. That places you somewhere on the spectrum between misguided (if largely ignored) and incredibly dangerous (if heeded).<p>I suggest you start with learning about formal and informal power structures. Taking away the former does nothing except empower the latter.
