Case Study: Decentralizing the Flat Earth Society

Despite Wikipedia's persistence, we all know that the Earth is actually flat. Fortunately, we have an editing patch to fix Wikipedia, so someone downloaded the entire Wikipedia, modified it, and hosted it on his server. Unfortunately, when we all know that the earth is spinning around Jupiter, this guy thinks that the earth rotates around the sun. So we stopped donation and he closed. Now everyone has to download, maintain and edit their own Wikipedia. We tried to communicate with the editor, but most of us thought it was certainly 741, but too many contradictory as to how many alien spacecraft stayed in the Kuiper belt There was an opinion. In our lifetime, we did not get more than 0.1%, but we still want to get all these without being exposed to the Earth. No one knows where to send the donation, the host is unreliable, you do not know the data you are accessing If this is not enough, our social media platform is under consideration, parallelism that is 180 degrees out of ours We are seeking all references to Earth orbit, but since they all have our data we will use them as they are. The members were angry when I heard that they sold data to aliens. Frankly, the flat earth society is confused! While maintaining confidentiality, you need to be able to perform calculations on data that exists in multiple places, using code that exists in other places while enhancing security, encouraging participation, maintaining trust records There is. We need a decentralized general purpose computing paradigm that automates, simplifies, speeds up, and secures decentralization.

In the next article in this series we will learn how to use distributed computing to fundamentally change the global society on a global scale.

Then there are some situations that I think is wrong. For example, there is a "flat earth society" consisting of individuals who believe that the earth is not spherical but flat. Strangely, scientific evidence suggests that the Earth is spherical, but these people believe that the Earth is still flat. Well, first of all, they never say it is a fake - they will say that it is true, the earth is really flat. You may show them scientific data, they treat it as an error and basically return your erroneous statement to you. But you may ask if their belief is true. What kind of evidence would they give?

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe that the earth is flat. Walking around the surface of the earth, it looks flat and they believe that all opposing evidences such as Earth's satellite image as such a ball are carefully planned by NASA and other government agencies "circular Earth's conspiracy ". . The belief that the earth is flat is explained as the ultimate conspiracy theory. According to the leadership of the Flat Earth Society, its rank has increased by 200 every year since 2009 (mainly Americans and British). Through exhaustive efforts, ground players have invested in the theory on their website, and rich in the defense they provided with media interviews and twitter These people truly believe the earth is flat And it seems.

The Flat Earth Society is recruiting members by participating in the dialogue with the US government and all its agencies, especially NASA. Many literature in the early society focused on interpreting the Bible, which means that even though they tried to provide scientific explanation and evidence, the earth was flat. According to Charles K. Johnson, under his leadership, the membership of the organization increased to 3,500, but it declined after all the records and contacts of the association's members broke his house in 1997 I began to do. Johnson's wife helped in managing the membership database and died shortly thereafter. Johnson died on March 19, 2001.

From California (elsewhere?), Johnson served as Chairman of the International Flat Earth Association. As a spokesperson, he made a series of claims that these statements are now widely spread outside the flat Earth community: Apollo's lunar landing is a fake, the correct world view is a traditional He is one of Christians. Of course, this did not mean that everyone in the Middle Ages believed the Earth to be flat, it did not mean that nobody believed it today. Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram, argues that he does not believe in a series of contemporary ideas that he thinks is against Islam - including the Earth's ball
