Decentralization

DECENTRALIZATION IS ABOUT FREEDOM, FLEXIBILITY, AND CHOICE. TECHNICALLY, IT'S ABOUT MOVING ACTIVITIES AWAY FROM A CENTRAL CONTROLLER AND TOWARDS A NETWORK OF PARTICIPANTS THAT INTERACT BASED ON A SHARED PROTOCOL. IN DOING SO, IT SHIFTS THE BALANCE OF POWER BACK TOWARDS THE USER, GIVING THEM A CHOICE BETWEEN PROVIDERS, AND ALLOWING A PLETHORA OF APPROACHES AND PERSPECTIVES TO EMERGE. THE ESSENCE OF DECENTRALIZATION IS A SOCIAL ORDER CHARACTERIZED BY THE DIFFUSION OF POWER AWAY FROM AN AUTHORITARI- AN NATION-STATE WHERE POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND EVENTUALLY ALL OF LIFE ARE REGULATED THROUGH THE CONTROL OF A CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT. BY SUCH DIFFUSION, THE POTENTIAL TYRANNY OF THE PYRAMID SOCIETY GIVES WAY TO THE FREEDOMS OF MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS, SELF-GOVERNMENT, AND THE PRACTICAL HIERARCHY OF FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
