Pace Layers (Grin's Esoteric Truth Remix)

july

devs deal with complexity by building layers of abstraction: simple and hard at the bottom, with layered complexity/subjectivity on top as needed. our social structures should do the same.

there's a seminal legal paper on why property law keeps vacillating between clear, objective, predictable rules (crystals) and flexible, subjective, discretionary interpretations (mud): http://i.grin.io/crystals-and-mud.pdf

whats special now is that you can have both: crystalline protocols for the objective, with rich subjectivity built on top. like a credit card on crypto rails -- you can use the card if you want chargeback protection or use the blockchain directly if you want an irreversible tx. most humans want the credit card, but direct protocol access is vital for e.g. disruptive startups, novel legal structures, Canadian truckers.

this was not possible before. US law can only have one setting on the hard<->subjective spectrum.

the broader shift coming out of crypto and open source is that our social structures will be rebuilt on top of hard, open protocols.

the effects of this are deeply underrated

so many big decisions boil down to Gall's Law vs Chesterton's Fence

turns out writing's easy. the hard part is clarity on what you want to say

once you've done the work of understanding your goal and how you'll get there, the writing practically writes itself

As my practice has shifted from the intellectual to the experiential, my life has changed to reflect that, and I love it more each day.

Me too. Turns out you can’t think your way out of a presence deficit.
