I Just had a flash of Inspiration.. Reality is actually BlockChain technology in the 5th Dimension... we're either, nodes, witnesses or contributors
### The Perfect Metaphor ! 
If Super string theory is correct, then reality hasn't been decided until we co-create it. Together. Subatomic particles which haven't popped into existence yet don't know what the future holds until we think it, experience it and make it happen together so they act accordingly once we've collectively thought out and begun to act out the present. That's how reality happens, including this very post on this incentivised social media platform.

###  Proof of Existence based / Super String Scrypt BlockChain
Like a very well coded BlockChain, reality it seems is just the same as Steemit or bitcoin with a bit of Ethereum Smart Contract thrown in and using proof of work, proof of existence and proof of eating to mine new currency in the form of consciousness. 

Yeah I am tripping out a bit, I haven't taken any drugs, unless you count 100% cocoa chocolate, (which is pretty heavy stuff) but I  was thinking about this. We can't go back in time and we can't change the past so in effect our experience of the Universe is like a blockchain. we can produce a hardfork for future branching if collective decision allows such a thing.  The internet was a pretty big hardfork.. probably hardfork 2,693b after fire, language, modesty, maths, books, electricity,  pornsites..etc

The interesting *analogy* is that we are decentralised, distributed and our collective consciousness is like a BC project. There was no premine, I don't think so anyway and tokens are certainly burned.. when we die.  The Value of information is tradeable and we are all either witnesses, running a node or contributing, based on our relative position in the network. It certainly can't roll back once an event has been written to the chain and in our case there are inevitably a few side-chains and smart contracts at work.

I know it's just psycho-babble, analogistic, anthropomorphic, metaphorical - off the cuff thinking, it does say *armchair philosopher* on my profile though and I can't post photo essays all the time. As much as I'd love to it makes my eyes wobble and bends my ears. So here's an e-card design by me as reward for tolerating this all the way to the bottom. Can't say I'm not awake can you ?

Love this analogy! I'm drinking my 100% raw cocoa chocolate in my Bullet Proof coffee while reading this post. Mind-blowing!

Thanks Suzique.. glad you like it, just thinking out loud. (I just had a piece of 100% cocoa and it's probably the best, healthiest drug out there.)  

I'm sure like Gold, the ancients used it for it's magical and healing properties/ and adding sugar to it kind of reverses the effect. It sure is intense anyway !

Hmm. Gold & 100% Cocoa heavenly combination. Might even get you into the Afterlife!

I think Steemit is an extension of Nikola Tesla's desire to create decentralized energy distribution. Energy is money and now money is decentralized...it's really happening....and Dan likes Tesla. This is all we need to know in order to advance humanity. GO!

Tesla had a whole different future planned for us... but he was just too far ahead of his time and the forces of money and power kept it quiet so that our world could burn oil for 100 years flat out

Anyway we're getting here right now and synchronicity means you already know about my recent post  re: how Universal Basic Income combined with or facilitated by BlockChain might just bring about the economic revolution almost by accident, and in the not too distant future !
