If that difficulty was insurmountable I think there could still be a case for patchwork as something that would only survive for a finite period as it would provide a period of great transformation

i think the problem goes deeper, x-risk democratization seems to entail the inevitable re-emergence of voice and therefore politicization, such that patchwork would leave the problems it is supposed to address unsolved in the end
