#72 The Digital Fork in the Road, with Rod Collins

We’ve arrived at an existential choice; a digital fork in the road.

To build more intelligent organizations, we trust that nobody is smarter than everybody, leverage collective intelligence, and invest collaborative power rather than coercive power.

Bitcoin and Blockchain as it exists today is in its primitive form, equivalent to 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the Wright flyer in Kitty Hawk.

We can choose to build the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence applications on blockchain platforms.

All through history humans have almost exclusively chosen one type of social system, the command and control management model; a centralized, top down hierarchy. They decided to leverage the intelligence of the elite few.

They make central plans and ascribe coercive power to enable them to enforce both ideological conformity and compliance. For most of us we can’t conceive how anything would be done if nobody was in charge.

When you practice collaborative power, you welcome diversity of opinion. When you build collaborative power in networks, all voices matter. Nobody is smarter than everybody.

A fundamental human need is autonomy. And one of the problems with hierarchies is it kills autonomy, and in the process kills innovation,

The organizing principle of centralized top-down hierarchies is to trust authority. We give power to the intelligent few.

But when they don’t welcome diversity of opinion and encourage ideological conformity, they bake in the unconscious biases of the experts.

When you encourage everybody’s voice and look to discover common ground, then you are more likely to arrive at real common ground,

When you leverage collective intelligence you move past biases to come to a higher level solution than any lone individual could ever devise.
