why? My long answer goes beyong just the crypto space i would say knowledge is power because knowledge is the root of everything. society has become corrupt in that it profits off of the stupidity of others by never informing them how to catch a fish of their own and just selling them a fish over and over for profit. platforms like steemit allow knowledge to go unfiltered into society and i find it miraculous that the world finally has a platform like this that can go uncensored. this kind of platform opens new doors to understanding and allows true freedom of speech to be embraced. now we can teach society how to catch its own fish instead of hiding useful skills just for a profit. Give knowledge back to the people and we will regain power.
my short answer would just be to reiterate that "Knowledge is power".
i love this post please keep it up sorry if i was a bit laid back on my words but i often mean more than i say, you have a great positive message and i hope to find more like you out there,
cheers

I just had to comment to you. I am also a "stupid American" -- by that I mean I prefer to do things the "old way" where possible. I've worked production lines and construction, and have definite opinions that fall on deaf ears among those holding most of the resources (the business community.) -- I cringe at much -- no, MOST of what is taught in business schools, these days -- ie, go for the repeat sales, create a throw-away consumer base, and price according to what the market will allow.

Result: we have a "wellness" industry that keeps us sick, to keep selling us poisons that treat our symptoms rather than our illnesses; we have appliances and consumer goods imported from overseas, because they are no longer allowed to chain us to our workbenches -- when our toaster oven stops working we are expected to toss it and buy another one -- they leave us no alternative! I remember the "fixit" guy, who could get replacement switches, heating elements, you name it, for just about anything that broke.

If I long for the "good ole days", there's that, and the smell of pickling brine, braided onions and garlic and bunches of tied, dried herbs in the pantry -- even the sour milk smell of making cheese and yogurt if it please!

I hope it won't be lost, when we need it -- and, we WILL need it, believe me!

true that friend! im too young to have known those days but i would love to be in a wolrd where things are built to last rather than just to throw away you said it all spot on thanks for replying i hope we can make a difference and bring some more nature back to society as we progress technologically
