daos

In the past, we seemed to automatically equate DAOs with democracy. Many DAO organizations immediately celebrated their democratic characteristics, but most naturally died out without self-reflection or transforming to survive.

Fortunately, members in Nouns had enough capacity for reflection and correction to bravely hit the pause button, examine the unquestioned view that "DAOs are inherently democratic," and reconsider appropriate governance forms.

Perhaps DAOs don't have to be democratic, and could even transform into non-DAOs.

Inevitable 'mainly run by agents' brewing?

And humans in the loop only where necessary?

You raise a crucial point about challenging the automatic equation of DAOs with democracy. The initial wave of DAOs often prioritized democratic ideals over effectiveness, leading to their downfall.

Nouns' willingness to pause and reassess governance shows maturity. Sometimes the most effective governance isn't purely democratic - it could be a hybrid model or even a completely different structure that better serves the organization's goals and sustainability.
