Does it matter? It must not be rewarded, regardless of how common it is.
Allowing share structures that divorce ownership from decision power may not be such a good idea after all. More generally, we should probably also reconsider fiduciary duty as the sole motive force of corporations.
- anticensor 8y agoThis is irrelevant for Mark as he passed the stage of just satisfying the fiduciaries way back. He now implements his ideal of no-privacy social system (using his enterprise). It is hard to stop anyone implementing oneself after it started.
- fmihaila 8y agoYes, I agree that it's hard. It's hard to displace dictators in general. It still must be done. And we should learn from this as a society and tweak the rules to make it harder for anyone to become a dictator in the future.
- anticensor 8y agoWe could apply distributed systems decision theory into general sociology, it might work.
- fmihaila 8y agoWow, I didn't expect this reply. I had the exact same thought after I read this HN thread [1] from 3 weeks ago about coordination-free distributed consistency [2]. Is this what you had in mind?
