Joe Hill(@jo3hill):Good read from @pahlkadot and @ad_greenway. In the past I’ve always been attracted to ‘just start over’ theories of institutional reform. But this is often unrealistic, and getting it wrong comes with high costs. The State is littered with the remains of failed new institutions which never scale, but never quite die either. Working out how we navigate these tradeoffs is a key topic for like-minded students of Metapolicy.
