The essence of this perspective shift is a metacognitive transformation:
From: "How do we implement what we know is right?"
To: "How do we design systems to discover what we don't know?"
This isn't about abandoning values, but rather:

1. Humbly recognizing the limits of our cognition
2. Designing institutions to compensate for these limitations
3. Approaching substantive justice through procedural justice

The key insight is: Our deepest understanding of "good institutions" may be acknowledging we don't know what the best institutions are, then designing ones that can continuously learn and adapt.

Why is procedural justice important in governance? When opposing the Nouns Fork proposal in the past, I hadn't yet developed the awareness of "approaching substantive justice through procedural justice" when Protector's researchers pointed out the procedural justice perspective.

Looking back at the VWR from 2 years ago, the core issue wasn't opposition to Fork/Rage Quit itself, but that facing constitutional-level reforms, DAO members clearly abused their agenda-setting power without self-awareness.

I believe this mistake should be curated as a lesson learned and preserved in memory, so that when other DAOs face similar issues, they can avoid repeating the same errors.

Governance isn’t a solution to a problem, it’s a protocol that manages risk of capture
