curious what the community thinks about this since its a sentiment i see pop up now and then my off the cuff take is that old/current nouns voters/members generally struggle to see new influential voters enter, its a power shift dynamic that is built into nouns but can feel uncertain and unpredictable* insofar nouns is a train that is both built and wrecked at the same time (h/t mikegood), the status quo feels 'safe' and 'steady' and in some ways its 'the mess we understand' i wont pretend im fully immune to the feeling of uncertainty, but i think ive learned to embrace it over the years. and i think you can make a case for this cyclical nature of nouns voters/power blocks being 'a very good thing' since it naturally combats stagnation which is a common poison for any org and, honestly, would probably kill nouns rather quickly were we to shut off auctions or otherwise ossify the voter base (note: not focused on or against mikegood, his comment is just what sparked the thought)

I appreciate the questions raised…a few things: Selectively using business terminology to classify / reclassify issues inside of a decentralized organization can muddy these discussions…if a dwindling treasury with minimal returns isn’t stagnation, I truly don’t know what is. Resistance to change is also a symptom of stagnation, which is too often the soup of the day here. If uncertainty and unpredictability are hallmark dynamics of Nouns, then getting comfortable with being uncomfortable should also be an acceptable reality. What I sense from the exchanges in this thread is a resistance to the truth that organization and oversight beyond a weekly Discord call has been sorely needed for quite some time and the conversation is now being had at a difficult moment of Nouns’ making.
