Isn't this fully addressed by decentralized arbitrators and reputation systems, with a solid economic incentive setup? After all, we are just remaking human civilization on top of more efficient, modern platforms...the same old mechanisms will apply, they'll just (hopefully) work faster & better.


Thing is, that's not how it's pitched, and the trade-off needs to be worth it. I personally would rather we found a way to do verifiable e voting (no idea how though, some cryptographic way to sign the logic used to express the program so you can verify it's the thing everyone agreed on?) and remade our cooperation systems into a working version of libertarian communism/syndicalistic anarchism. IIRC rojave is trying something like that right now?


Rojava? Do you have a source? Interested in hearing more.
