I think the definition of truly "best content" will always be skewed by the established financial evaluation model. As you rightly point out, people will often judge based on their own interests and preferences. And those interests are mostly financial. This creates a bias and steers the crowd in a certain direction, which becomes prevalent. And any effective crowd must enhance the usefulness of individual knowledge on a global and collective scale, allowing it to remain specific and private.

 

And perhaps this is a better reason for bias than the cognitive distortions associated with limited information..

 

We are all at the beginning of the journey from Scarcity of Brain - to Proof of Brain but, indeed, the transition is only possible if we admit to ourselves that we are still far from the goal..

I think to many people think Utopia is everyone is equal everyone is the same, I hope Utopia never comes about myself, I am one of those sick individuals that actually mostly *like* change. 

> Proof of Brain probably does do a pretty good job of uncovering over time and rewarding decent content that the community as a whole values.

When it is allowed to work it works pretty well, when people want to build and make Hive into their own Utopia, it can fail miserably. I don't see why people are so adamant about change and even fail to notice it in themselves. Attitudes are meant to be changed, it is called personal growth by some. 

I have changed a lot during my four years on the Block Chain. I find new things all the time to keep me interested in Hive and this technology. I am sure I will change how I view and use Hive in the future also.

This is exactly the kind of content I look to engage with! To my mind one of the most brilliant potentials of Hive is the opportunity to engender a massive scale dialogue on precisely these types of issues. It is my belief that only through this process that we can create a 'common' understanding of fundamental and complex systems and issues that lie at the heart of virtually every problem in the human world. The challenge is how to get that 'common' understanding while also embracing the unique perspective of everyone engaged in the dialogue.

I believe keeping it simple & real in your post deserves rewards. Indeed the brain 🧠 works all day long, please don't stress it.

My @pooky-jax and Me. We was just having the people lie conversation this morning. Zero accountability for the damages those lies cause. From advertisers to news media and the Big Pharma funded politicians. No accountability. I simply hate liars, therefore try to be as truthful as possible. 

***"No officer, I did not see that no trucks allowed sign..."***

Hehehehe... Ok maybe just a little white lie now and then. But I hold myself accountable.

I post on proof of brain a lot because I haven't sorted communities much. And I am not clear about which content is okay for which community. POB accepted all the content, so that was cool.
(plus, there are additional POB tokens😅)

I bought a few more tokens from the market, and powered up.

The concept of POB sounds fine. There were no premined tokens. Only 21 million. So, I figured they may be valued a little more than hive in the future.
And I can sell some of them, and buy hive later.

But then I am not sure who the person is behind this project.

And then recently, pob account was downvoted, it didn't looked good.

So, I am not sure about its future. But I won't sell, or buy more. Just accumulate whatever small rewards I will get🙂

I published a post years ago where I made some intentionally bad art and even said it was stupid; some still came along to say, "You know what?  That's actually kind of cool."

☑ Rewards incentivize content creation and curation.
☐ A voting system <code>**that leverages the** [**wisdom of the crowd.**](https://youtu.be/iOucwX7Z1HU)</code>

<div class=text-justify>

PoB, as Steem envisioned, does not work as imagined. And this is not complicated to understand at all. Now, had we a system that did adequately tap into crowd wisdom, in that case, it would've been something quite fantastic. The same reason that PoB does not work as defined is also what causes the blockchain to function. To tap into crowd wisdom with an unequal stake, up and downvotes, and voting trails was pie in the sky thinking, and we need to get over that and adapt.

That part is simple if you are honest with yourself about what crowd wisdom is. Look at [**this video**](https://youtu.be/iOucwX7Z1HU) to realize how all these people collectively came to an accurate result, and had some of the people's numerical opinions, had more weight than the others; In that case, such accuracy would not have gotten realized. That said, the idea of up and downvoting coming to anything intelligent isn't going to happen on HIVE with any consistency.

Malicious downvotes are not proof of intelligence, and in some cases, they almost serve as proof that we're trying to chase people off and away from the platform. This behavior generates horrible word of mouth and terrible PR. Not only that, but it also comes off cliquey and culty. So how can we realize a wiser system, a system with a brain? It's simple. We can promote a culture of better behavior and also discourage malicious downvotes.

We live in a world where the law of the jungle is the foundation of reality. It is the truth. However, this truth does not prevent us from overlaying on top of that jungle law, other systems of law. In most western nations, laid on top of 'the law of the jungle' was natural law, and then common law, and then civil law. I'm not saying that all these systems of law are 'good' per se. However, even the natural law convinced a lot of people to avoid harming other people(s earning potential).
