Mini-thread: against the "One Commandment" Balaji's The Network State (see my review https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/07/13/networkstates.html ) has a concept called "the one commandment": a new startup society should have one key moral value that differs from the outside world. I argue that this is wrong.

Instead, any realistic new community is going to have a complicated jumble of various legible and illegible values (and "vibes") that appeals to a particular group of people. And this is the *only* realistic way to define a new (or existing) community.

Interesting examples. What's the deeper reason if there is one? I would guess many of us find communities built around a single principle somewhat repelling, which may be a protective mechanism to stop us from joining dangerous cults?

Good thread. TLDR: one commandment is an oversimplification, but a useful oversimplification. One way to think about it: when you pitch your community to a new recruit, how do you describe it? Culdesac: car-free Kift: van life Praxis: vitalist Note what this is *not*. It's not an economic pitch. It's a values pitch.

similar to the debate between fragile vs. anti-fragile startup focus in the last 10 years, starting super fragile apps has been mostly en-vogue (e.g. early on do things that don't scale - PG, uber launching 1 market at time, FB college students, Gas app HS) protocols however are intended to be anti-fragile, agree?

Really enjoyed the post and (to me at least) this was the first time I’d seen someone lay out the “limitations to exitocracy” in a simple manner — feels like there’s a good philosophy paper hidden in that concept that should be written

The point about global negative externalities is a crucial one. We want future generations to have a beautiful whole world (and solar system!) to live in, not a scattered handful of enclaves!

The difference between a city and an intentional community. Praxis is aiming to be a giant intentional community w all that entails, not a city.
