This is bullshit. @NickSzabo4"'s bullshit trust minimization" law means that we have to trust him that fully autonomous software is a good thing.
We absolutely do not have a trust minimizing crypto legal system.https://twitter.com/hugohanoi/status/1089175942386176003 …

I'm curious what you think about this interpretation concerning the nature of "trustlessness". Excerpted from my recent installment of Crypto Beyond Capitalism, if you're interested in more context: https://medium.com/@matthewpirkowski/this-looks-like-an-example-of-big-o-syndrome-in-which-one-mis-applies-bounding-analytic-logic-to-6ed879e7fd11 …pic.twitter.com/Kn7mp3iJf6
Makes sense ,do local things like trust/deals/dispute resolution at higher layers of protocol. Reminds me of Hayek & of Whitehead "Civilization advances by extending [operations] we can perform without thinking about them." Or worrying about what 3rd parties might do to them.

Precisely. Another process / system where we may observe this pattern is within the human brain's anatomy, where one may view the limbic system as a neurological encoding of highly resilient game-theoretic responses to universal problems out of which the adaptive neocortex grew.

I love this and it's so true! But it ties back into
@VladZamfir'"s point. If the limbic system was so great, then why did it need to grow the adaptive neocortex? One thing our current autonomous, trustless systems are NOT is adaptive. -
Layer 1: Resilient stability assuming a "red of tooth and claw" adaptive landscape. Layer 2: Dramatic expansion of possibility space in which the potential for meta-unstable but immensely valuable cooperative structures may explore the landscape with greater fluidity.

The current debate of "crypto-law" exposes the hierarchical structure of the trust-minimizing technology already in place. Bitcoin is the only layer 1 there can be and Ethereum is destined to be layer 2 at most.

There are different failure types for DR and they benefit from being addressed at different layers. Ex: a DR system might use multisig. The governors could be corrupt (higher layer issue) but what if the multisig code is faulty? Protocol code is helpful that can be relied upon.
-
I make this distinction because protocol bugs mean a chain rollback right away without controversy.
