thank you for exploring the nuance of this. I'd like for this to be the norm for information technology. after all, maybe the most reasonable approach to smart contract/ DAO development is one that allows its trajectory of adoption to be moderated by the ample probability of catastrophic flaws & vectors of capture.

imho, one can't weigh instrumental convergence w/o specification gaming of finance. We've provided the systemic incentive for these technologies to be +EV & orient towards the least efficient labor markets. we've thrived in a way that mutes individualistic impact despite romanticizing it w/o collective context.
