governments are rudimentary organizational tools used by humans to pool resources then decide how those resources are used to complete tasks so every governmental job can be replaced by clever crypto + smart contract voting systems that are cheaper and more transparent this is an inevitability

I think you’re underestimating the complexity of government organizations and overestimating the ability of technologists to design governance systems. An opposite take is that governments will expand to create physical and social jobs to employ more people when knowledge work is largely made redundant by AI.

I think most of the complexity of government organizations is a product of their own doing they are monopolies safe from market forces, there is nothing driving them to be efficient and we've already succeeded in doing arguably their most important job more efficiently (crypto is money without government)

Of course it’s “a product of their own doing” because successful organizations change and adapt over time. Crypto may hint at an alt power structure, but there are no guarantees it’s a better fairer one. Look at the technocracy that emerges in small DAOs. Now scale that. It’s as dystopian as it gets.

IMO the crypto structure for money is a 10x improvement, have to disagree completely self regulating and transparent with everyone playing by the same rules and I agree most DAOs now have terrible governance, but that's because they generally slap crypto on top of centralized governance and say it's innovation

Sounds like we have quite different value systems and mental models of money and its role in power.
