Dao ... and DAPPS

More synchronicity as synthesis turns up as the Angel for September and DAO has a third meaning ... in the Ethereum world it means  Decentralised Autonomous Organisation ... in blog world it is a river in Portugal and an alternative spelling for Tao, the ancient Chinese philosophy ...

DAPPS in this strange new world are Decentralised Applications, running on Ethereum, self-defined as the Decentralised Web, or Web3 ... or part of it ... critics please note this is a steep learning curve and any corrections, improvements and clarifications are welcome.

The merits of Web 3 are that there are no huge servers controlling the web, making it more democratic as well as enabling direct peer to peer contracting, thus cutting out the expensive brokers currently creaming off value ... big banking is part of all that, which is why the new financial models of Web 3,  are so popular .... and ready to pick up the slack when the next crash of traditional banks hits soon ...

Blogging on here seems rather Web2 to me ... certainly not very interactive ... so let's see how it will work on Ethereum. .. when the Daos and DAPPS are sorted ... maybe integrated with Noomap ...

And all this exciting new paradigm stuff is only one level of the huge changes afoot, so a word of warning. .. cryptography, electricity and all the cyberware is itself vulnerable to attack ... satellites may be disabled, silicon chips melted and so on ... while Noomap aspires to mimic the noosphere, the art of telepathy may be the tool needed in the future ... and self-reliance too ... all the amazing ways to communicate with folks all around the world are no use if we don't have the basics of clean air and water, fresh food and shelter ...

Well, readers may wonder what this is all about, but it is posted provisionally and liable to editing as we all learn more about the Dao ... the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation that is ... we know where the river is and its associated red wine ... and since the Dao that can be explained is not the immortal Dao of ancient wisdom, we had better not start start on that!
