Dryden’s new essay is really good. Unsure if I agree with everything, but it’s one of the rare pieces that has an original idea and sticks around to elaborate on it.

Yeah this seems incorrect, maybe by “L1s like Ethereum” he means alt-L1s? Although most alt-L1s don’t use coin voting either.

He also says core devs have significant influence on L2s, which seems empirically untrue, the L2s that worked all came from researchers with different backgrounds.

Overall this is thought-provoking and crisply written.

I have to point out tho:

> Often L1s like Ethereum have robust off-chain governance systems (e.g. EIP) that precede votes, but votes formally decide the fate of a proposed change. 

Ethereum is NOT governed by coin voting. "Rough consensus" is a higher bar.

optimal autonomous organizations presupposes a lot of assumptions though - like most of yarvin’s writing, it explains lots but obfuscates more than it explains. i wish we didn’t live in a world where that was normalized

kind of agreeing that that which is dubbed as decentralization here is utilized to hijack governance with or without tokens. &, it reads as if a rather poorly articulated version of Yarvin's "optimal autonomous organizations." Wonder what he'll come up with in the sequel to this post now that there is a mention of

interesting read, it points out patterns of behavior that exists but dubs them as problems, if not could have been a more creative discussion

".. social media platforms were to decentralize, this problem would be compounded further" Im not sure it would compound the problem further, it would become less legible for direct leaders which is not necessarily bad
