The Need for DAO and Political Philosophy

Decentralized Socrates (Part 1) Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is emerging in the world. While the technological infrastructure that makes DAO possible is now available, the ideological and political-philosophical significance of DAO is not well known to us. Why do people need DAO? Is there anything that DAO can only realize? Intuitively, DAO would be…

Mishima, Nabokov, Another Democracy

Decentralized Socrates (Part 17b) Previous Entry Economic Independence Based on Universal Position Decentralized Socrates (Part 17a)asakin.medium.com Contrary to what one might think, opposing totalitarianism with words and logic while assuming the current democracy is nearly impracticable. Perhaps that is also the reason why Heidegger fell in love with totalitarianism. And it is also the reason why the author, at the end of the previous…

Economic Independence Based on Universal Position

Decentralized Socrates (Part 17a) Previous entry Decentralized Socrates can be tied to prediction markets. Who will be the site or person closest to the position at the center of gravity, or the no-position, described in the previous entry? That cannot be predicted until we compute it. Calculation of “Zero Position” = Decentralized Socrates Decentralized Socrates (Part 16)asakin.medium.com Suppose the amount of…

Calculation of “Zero Position” = Decentralized Socrates

Decentralized Socrates (Part 16) Previous Entry Rhetorical verification is essentially only possible in decentralized organizations. That was the conclusion of my last entry. It is also the answer to the question raised at the beginning of this essay, “What can only decentralized organizations do?” Rhetorical verification has a byproduct. That…

What Only Decentralized Organizations Can Do

Decentralized Socrates (Part 15) Previous post Rhetorical verification would involve a large amount of text analysis by some AIs. It is possible to create a blockchain and decentralized organization to handle this analysis work. The work and resources could be paid for, and the validation of the rhetoric verification algorithm could be done by…

The Fundamental Difficulty in Countering Fake News: The Unreliability of the Referee

Decentralized Socrates (Part 14) Previous post If rhetorical verification is done well, it can be a mechanism to detect and warn of position talk and fake news that cannot be fact-checked. This verification could solve one of the difficulties noted earlier in the fight against fake news. Rhetorical verification of texts and sites, however…

Detecting Rhetorical Operations by Exploiting Their Inherent Properties

Decentralized Socrates (Part 13) Previous post The “ negative to positive” type of rhetorical manipulation mentioned in the previous entry can be detected automatically in principle for the following reasons. In most position talk, the topic intended for a positive impression is not changed very often. Therefore, it is possible to detect, without fact-checking, that multiple articles on a website consistently form a “negative to positive” shape regarding the news…

An Example of Rhetorical Operations

Decentralized Socrates (Part 12) Previous post Let us consider a reasonably naive example of the kind of rhetoric used by position talkers. Suppose, just for illustration, a person or a website wants to promote the position that stock prices will continue to rise. He wants to give his readers the impression that no matter…

From Method of Dialogue to Anti-fake Measures without Fact-checking

Decentralized Socrates (Part 11) Previous post It is a disarming of bias, after all, that is achieved by the Socratic method of dialogue. Let’s call it the “universal position,” that is, the attitude of continuing to eliminate bias or “ to cease reasoning incorrectly according to one’s community, tradition, interests, values, and position.” The…

The Unsustainability of the Method of Dialogue: Economic Independence

Decentralized Socrates (Part 10) Previous post There is another challenge to the sustainability of the method of dialogue, besides the hatred caused by the disarming bias. Universal positions are not profitable. Repeated position-talking to followers is a better way to expand power than to realize that the community and its members are trapped in…
