The bedroom is a special place in the 21st century - private, comfortable, and wifi-enabled. It's a place where dreams brew with the quiet intensity of personal development: learning, experimenting, and socializing. All while you're half-naked, with telecommunication waves flowing in and out with reckless abandon.
The bedroom is slowly becoming your personal hub. It is becoming you.
The rise of pro-consumer products over the past decade has been enabling people all over the world to become masters of their own destiny. Now we have bedroom DJs, bedroom producers, bedroom writers, bedroom visual artists, bedroom miners - all thanks to the miniaturization of hardware, and of course, the Internet. Knowledge of the world at your fingertips. A revolution of the self.
But what about igniting a global revolution in your bedroom?
Everyone is a broadcaster these days - all you need is to find a niche and connect the dots. Take for example, the Facebook page - Bernie Sanders Dank Meme Stash. It started out as a simple hub for sharing funny memes, right at the time when America is setting up itself to decriminalizing marijuana, and also right at the time when public dissent is growing. The page blew up to more than 420,000 members in less than a few months after it started. And it started right in someone's bedroom.
For better or worse, that page has gathered support for ideas that are worth discussing between old powers and the new generation.
And now with cryptocurrencies necessarily representing mankind's causes and value systems - what kind of revolution do you want start in your bedroom?
Personally, I see Steemit as a coming-together of sovereign, problem-solving minds. We are a free society. Can we figure out how to solve humanity's greatest challenges? It will be a long process, but I'm in with @dan and @ned's calm aspirations for securing life, liberty, and property for all through non-violence. The necessary technology is already here, but it's our mental firmware that needs to be updated.
Stay tuned, my next passionate long-posts will be about that and I hope you can join us in the discussion.
No pants required.
Update note: If I'm being pedantic, I'd probably wouldn't use the word "property". Maybe I'll talk about it one of these days!
