No. Just no. If blockchain is NOT a universal truth machine, then this horribly inefficient technology is just not good for anything.

Some people miss the real social innovation of blockchain: truth is NOT open to being determined by any sort of democratic mechanism.

Oh I don't believe subjectivity is a *problem*. I see it as an inherent unavoidable trait of basically all human interaction.
