Don't want to give away too much but the title of my next post is going to be It's Time to put the User in the Center :) But yea, I've been riffing on the idea of consensus/agreement being at the center of economic activity (not *should be* but *is*) instead of scarcity for a bit bc I think that actually may be the case.. at the level of the individual, if you don't have internal agreement on what you want you're not going to enjoy a product you're buying in the market. at the corporate level, businesses that don't have strong consensus around decision making or fund allocation (where workers feel that management is misallocating funds, for example) are not likely to succeed. at the level of the economy, since government is such a poor proxy for what people value (and since the adversarial dynamics of the market are so dominant) we have massive coordination failures. so consensus seems to be the key to economic activity (& prosperity) at all levels
