Mini-thread: against the "One Commandment"

Balaji's The Network State (see my review https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/07/13/networkstates.html ) has a concept called "the one commandment": a new startup society should have one key moral value that differs from the outside world. I argue that this is wrong.

>I argue this is wrong

Not sure "wrong" is a useful frame here. Feels like you both just approach the idea from different perspectives.

him: absolutes, structure, convex

you: nuance, essence, concave

IMHO both are needed. Former for the idea to captivate & spread. Latter for the idea to actually get implemented.
