@dwr.eth @woj.eth btw one user pattern I did by intuition trying to click on the mini-app in the warplet activity panel. Basically “how can I also use this mini-pp” feels natural that the trx is the discovery

Blockchain protocols enforces state transitions deterministically. But governance of the rules themselves is not enforced by any internal democratic process. There’s no institutionalized loss. There are only stalled or abandoned proposals.

“The role of voting is intermittently to ratify these outcomes or to confirm in office those who brought them about.”

I think a common mistake I have made is thinking that some adoption would be elegant and precise. In almost all cases, adoption — and then excellence — is muddled through. Mostly the expert that has fully adopted a context feels still they are muddling through, despite the external perception of elegance.

If a decentralized protocol has sufficient monetary value, it may still lack customer PMF value — but will definitely not lack decentralization partners (since it’s itself a customer with purchasing power!)

A career is mostly gathering a niche set of esoteric knowledge that over time becomes increasingly probably irrelevant — with the hopes that one develops generic wisdom and common sense that transcends the knowledge fads I guess

Active voting stalls due to consensus drag. Active veto collapses under crises of legitimacy.

Systems requiring active voting turn to gridlock when there’s balanced polarisation or disengagement. Systems requiring veto turn to gridlock when there’s anxiety, suspicions, safetism, and cynicism.

Veto is inherently less costly than a Vote (to the proposer) — a veto puts the burden of alignment on the action of prevention (the citizen one might say), a vote puts the burden of alignment on the proposer (the politician).

The whole point is that you need to be able to reorient before bad consequences are irreversible

When something “feels homey” what we’re really referring to is that the objects and habits and flows and rhythms and melded together. A little pot for the ledge, a little block to fix the table wobble, a little dust in that corner that the broom can’t reach.

We don’t inhabit a home all at once. we grow into it, like a vine curling toward the light and wrapping the fence, slowly making sense of the angles.

Took a month to mostly fix the grass in the garden. Noticing that almost everything I do is either a 2 hour job or a multi month job. Sometimes it feels like there’s nothing in between.

I once learned SQL in two weeks to pass a technical interview — got rejected in the end, but still funny to think how focused upskilling is very much possible. Note that of course I didn’t have any of the practical experience, but interestingly, the interview didn’t test for that only rote basic theory.
