Just finished reading! Agree mostly BUT there is an implicit bias towards technological determinism here which could underestimate the need for strong social and cultural foundations to go alongside technological solutions. Could you expand on that @vitalik.eth ?

Hey @vitalik.eth, could you expand on the publicly funded news media idea? We're running Kiwi (crypto Hacker News) and so far relied on grants and user payments, so it might be interesting for us.

What a thing to wake up to! Still slogging thru but I'm loving how this rhymes with Robert Anton Wilson's "model agnosticism", and especially loving treating the connections between people as important in modeling. Using similar ideas for a decentralized spiritual framework, can't wait to read the rest!

Designing for identity is at the nexus of the Plurality thesis by my reading. I've had the opportunity to discuss this with Glen and presented at the 2022 RadicalxChange conference: Exploring Digital Identity For Decentralized Societies. FYI, my most comprehensive analysis to date is here: https://generative-identity.org/human-identity-the-number-one-challenge-in-computer-science/

This is a great piece. One part that stood out was this section about micro-exits. I see the popup city movement and thinks like Zuzalu, Edge City as being places where we can meaningfully experiment with micro-exits related to new ways of living, tech-enabled communities, etc., and then merge them back into society. e.g. if we don't like how it's very hard to live near people we like and admire in normal society, lets run a monthlong experiment to try an alternative. We might decide we like it, and take it into our normal life.

I think one issue I'm having with plurality as presented is the focus on the edges of the graph rather than the dimensionality of the manifold There is something deep about the way that individuals assemble memberships in a pluralistic landscape, and the way they value those memberships with effort and attention, that is not captured simply by entry-exit-fork-merge, an immutable changelog, and an auction format The curation game around pluralities, in pruning connections, is equally important to the game of forming new positive sum connections, and such pruning behavior can reduce perplexity and sparsity when considering public goods auctions to bid in or memberships to acquire and retain. This dial on dimensionality is an enormously important aspect to the trilemma of technocracy/democracy/libertarianism that is not quite captured by leaning into any one of them. I haven't spent as much time as you, Glen, or Audrey in formulating the approach, but I'll name it interstitiality just to give it a handle

That's a big πŸ₯œ! It feels like deep seated long term intersubjective alignment is critical for new governance systems, this feels like a crunchy read! Will grab a bag of cashews and dive in! Thank you for sharing

Trying to fit pluralism into a nutshell ended up expanding that nutshell to the size of the universe. Summarizing a complex world is no easy task.(β€’βŒ“β€’ΰΉ‘)
