Elon Musk's Pravda
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999367582271422464
What about trust?
Is there any formal proof (scientific paper) on the possibility of creating a "true" voting system? By "true", I mean that one can mathematically prove the correctness and fullness of the public data (ledger).
We created the zero-knowledge proof a long time ago. Why we can't create a reliable system for anonymous voting/social polls?
- Chyzwar 8y agoBecause he is silly. Pravda is similar to Polish word Prawda than means truth. Truth is very difficult to establish outside science. - People are biased in many different ways. - Modern propaganda can use true facts to build any public perception. - You can have contradictory facts about same events - Cognitive dissonance has the stronger effect than people think. - Sometimes lies are needed because the truth is not something people can deal with - Perspective is different between genders/race/religion etc An incredibly difficult social problem not technical. Wikipedia tries to build a system like that and it far from a success.
