I am whipped into a state of enthusiasm by that phrase! 8^) https://blog.keithwhamon.net/2022/03/rhizo-narratology-decentralized.html?m=1
But it raises an issue I've had with distributed ledgers (ala cryptocurrencies) for awhile. When fanbois use the word "decentralized", it smacks of (technical) bullshit. Sure, the ledger may be decentralized. But the only thing that makes the token decentralized is the market wherein I can exchange one token for another. That raises (yes I know I'm a broken record) the idea that higher order objects impinge, top-down, on their lower order constituents. -- glen ⛧ .-- .- -. - / .- -.-. - .. --- -. ..--.. / -.-. --- -. .--- ..- --. .- - .
