TRUMP THE MEDIA MASSAGIST ... DISTRIBUTED POLITICS

“[Another main theme of course will be that] the medium is the massage and not the message—it really works us over, it really takes hold and massages the population in a savage way.”

The old media is centralized. It’s one way, it’s one to many; it’s controlled by powerful forces, and everyone is a passive recipient. TRUMP HAS DISRUPTED THE METAPHOR! The new web and it's globally distrubuted new media is no longer filtered it’s highly distributed, and it’s not centralized. Everyone’s a participant, not an inert recipient. Check you blood pressure! This has an awesome neutrality. It will be what we want it to be, and we can craft a much more egalitarian, prosperous society where everyone gets to share in the wealth that they create. Lots of great things have and will continue to happened, but overall the benefits of the digital age have been and continue to be asymmetrical.  It’s owned by a tiny handful of powerful companies, players or governments.  The "Deep State" is a thin disguise for the conflict within the Republic the people's vote is on one side of the equation, rule of law on the other.  They monetize the "collective" in our digitally altered presence or, in the case of governments, use it to spy on us, and our privacy is undermined.

We don’t have that now. If I’m going to send some money to somebody else, I have to go through an intermediary—a powerful bank, a credit-card company—or I need a government to authenticate who I am and who you are. What if we could do that peer to peer? What if there was a protocol—call it the trust protocol—that enabled us to do transactions, to do commerce, to exchange money, without a powerful third party? This would be amazing.

Several years ago, an unknown person or persons named Satoshi Nakamoto came up with the Blockchain technology and protocol. Everyone is connected, bound by time and order.  Once again, creativity and the human desire for liberty has unleased the genie from its bottle. It gives us another grasp at the brass ring to try and rethink the economic power grid and the old order of things. The combination of Quantum Computing and Blockchain Technology will be a "New World Order" ...
