Currently, we’re on the path of protocolizing digital governance. Yet it seems to be converging on esoteric jargon and functions, is there a path out? Is there something else that won’t lead us to localized ossification with niche standards, procedures, and a working class of governance technical support?

Its fine IMO, In time best practices will come out in the wash. Over simplification, is just dumbing things down which would lead to a dominate two-party system we see IRL which defeats the whole point of governance innovation. Ultimate goal here is to show people they can have an effect on outcomes.

I’m mostly concerned that privileged jargon will lead to less innovation overall. Language could be used as a gate

Perhaps, however I think that could mostly be solved though good interface design that abstracts the underlying complexity away.

I just don’t know if any UI can save us — because we tend to abstract underlying mechanics until the only way to interact with the machine is by a million-page instruction booklet — this is @vgr post that inspired this thread: https://open.substack.com/pub/ribbonfarmstudio/p/where-are-the-elites

Thanks, interesting context. I would still maintain my position that Interfaces are a relevant proxy to underlying complexity. And that underlying complexity is needed for domain expertise. Using AI as an example, the chat interface has reduced barriers to complexity. However a concern I have is at some point it will accelerate to a point where we have a simple interface to produce an outcome. However we won't possess the necessary vernacular to properly understand what is going on. Assuming this accelerates to a point where it outstrips understanding. The tile "Where Are the Elites? could probably be reread in a different light.
