 ====== Theoretical basis of the network society ======
-When we think to a network the first thing that rise in our mind probably is the computers connected to a server by ethernet cables.

+==== How to smooth networks greediness ====
+According to the theoretical behaviours of networks, larger groups will dominate the entire network, because of their huge "gravity" and marginal utility.
+This explain the big power of such companies like MS, Apple, Google that crunches any other small one.
+Let's immagine a non weighted liquidfeedback system where the 30.000 pirates of germany and the 10.000 pirates of the rest of the world can vote togheter. Of course germany would dominate the world!
+The solution to balance the groups, avoiding greedy behaviours, is to smooth the power by the inverse function of the square: **the square root**.
