   I'm reminded of the Thomas Jefferson quote, "a well-informed electorate
   is a prerequisite to democracy." Well, the same is true for any
   societal structure, those that are involved need to be well-informed in
   order to navigate the system and not get fucked over.

     ... Machine learning is still far from making conscious decisions as
     far as I can tell.

   imagine a fully self contained (by extension, fully decentralized!)
   technology which gave you the benefit of best practice, in any domain.
   as a non-expert, you're bound to encounter any number of common errors;
   remove these errors via second sight over your shoulder, offering you
   the best action in your best interest. this is within the realm of
   current deep learning techniques, without a full fledged consciousness
   required.

   a great equalizer for the common person, as they interact with society!

   the fact that we've built technology infrastructures around centralized
   control and end-user antagonistic devices is no inherent flaw of
   technology, but the aggregate errors of fallible humans choosing
   convenience and cheap, again and again.

   redirecting human effort toward human-centric decentralized technology
   left as an exercise for the reader. ;)
