RE: Adaptation vs Original

I guess I don't disagree per say, but I can't this how it wouldn't have worked out the way it did.

It's not entirely like Hume's empiricism, but cooked with the same ingredients, so to speak.

We can only understand something using our current knowledge. Our past experiences shape up these impressions we have of reality, of how things work. We can, through some effort, extract a "new concept" from an old one. It's as if all new concepts are a remix of old ones, bastard children sometimes, to be hyperbolic.

I wrote this and figured I should say, before you pushback, because you just might: That I will grant you most abstractions are probably garbage, wrong, but it doesn't take away from the fact that we need a mental olive branch to grab to even begin to conceptualize a "new idea".

Regarding what Hive is and what it's not. No argument there. Hive is not social media, there's an app built on top, but I will also add the fact that the first app of this blockchain was social-mediaish gave it's heartbeat. A community (with all it's flaws) was formed because of it. But I'm almost confident the blogging thing is on it's way out. Most people are not bloggers. (nobody thought of that, it seems).
