We all instinctively recognize the perils of centralization and large-scale defaults. We're just beginning to get a sense of the perils of decentralization and small-scale defaults. What lessons have you learned so far?

I disagree with "we're just beginning..." We already know perils of non-hierarchical decentralization, it's why we have localized but not purely-sovereign republics. So many lessons.

Only a small fraction of humans ever experience a foreign country. For practical purposes most of us live within highly centralized systems and have poor instincts around decentralization (e.g. crosschecking news from multiple sources as an instinctive habit)

traditional sources of decentralization have kinda been digested by traditional narratives. New sources need active dealing with ambiguities.
