If we hold Hive to a standard at all

Do you feel there are no standards? We can all vote for what we think is worth it. Our behavior will be determined by our philosophy, and I hope that by now those of us who have found ourselves here on POB understand the value of staking, and curating.
Do you feel there are no standards?
Yes, very low ones.
We can all vote for what we think is worth it.
..So can a group of 5 year olds, choosing sweets or a salad for food - consensus of opinion doesn't make it the intelligent choice. (DPOS is fundamentally flawed for merit based economies)
Our behavior will be determined by our philosophy
If the philosophy is social ingratiation, (the midwits forte), then standard will reduce.
Expediency IS the philosophy of social approval. (ie no actual philosophical perspective)

Hopium is never a strategy.
It all depends what you want.
Without integrity - POB can only ever be another hive....And there's bugger all evidence of that right now.
With your stake I hope you are able to reward users who bring value to you and your experience! I have high standards for POB because of my views on how important it is to the core philosophy of what we are doing here. I suspect anyone who has low standards, has not read More Equal Animals by Dan Larimer. One big idea is that we are experimenting here with decentralized consensus mechanisms that will help us to renegotiate our social contracts. This is essentially an exercise in true democracy. The will of the community will prevail, but I believe POB has a good chance of standing for something, if we will simply stand for Proof Of Brain.
Crab bucket mentality and positive feedback loops are destined for a race to the bottom.(and winner take's all for the odd few).
True democracy is an abstract concept. A catch all , sexy, in vogue, one liner, that doesn't actually describe anything.
Democracy is sham - and with without any meritocracy to boot (non existent in a DPOS ecosystem), is a fools errand.
Maybe this time it's different - but I'd bet that the last 5000 year - actual evidence in the governance in societies, and commerce - speaks volumes about natural systems, and how natures evolutionary processes work - rather than Larimer's Utopian visions.
In my opinion.
It doesn't matter who votes but who counts the vote. Just ask today's uncle Joe.
