I realized what bothers me about @vitalik.eth d/acc essay. Even though it is optimistic, it shares with the pessimist side a presumption that technology, as an evolutionary process, *can* be governed according to some notion of human intent.

“Tech can/cannot be governed” is a bigger divide than optimism/pessimism

appreciate you saying this and it highlights the root disagreement I have with (my personal understanding of) Vitalik's philosophy in that it overrates the abilities of human governance:
