Great post.
I see those shortcuts to reward as the entire basis of our economy.
I don’t mind them to be honest as I personally don’t want to spend any of my few good days on earth doing things the hard way. I value efficiency tremendously as it essentially allows you to add useful time back to your life’s clock.
It’s interesting that you bring up pornography as a shortcut. Another nostrian has done the same (bringing up the topic recently) and their point was how much pornographers have done to protect free speech and adopt/develop freedom technologies.
Obviously some take things too far and well beyond my personal tastes, but I’m inclined to agree. Furthermore, I think free consenting adult pornography is probably one of the best things to ever happen to human kind.
If you consider what levels of oppression various religions have imposed over sexuality throughout history, the fact that we collectively now have access to unlimited resources to release our sexual energy is something I find very worthy of celebrating. Historically and even now, that energy is often repressed and used to control and manipulate people to do awful things. The worlds various fundamentalist religions being the obvious examples but all do in their own sneaky ways.
This is to say nothing of the myriad ways pornography can prevent cheating or help couples explore and/or enhance their sexualities in low risk ways.
As far as things that could make pornography better, I think eliminating middle men (and women) and empowering performers directly via technologies like #bitcoin will continue to help remove some of the abuses that continue to exist in that realm. Again, if some woman/man wants to post their naughty bits on the internet for attention and of their own free will, I say go for it. They are actually doing something positive for humanity in my opinion and that is a rarity these days.
