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)

I think there's nuance here, and those working with "new sources" would go far looking through a lens at how the old evolved, or in some cases went extinct vs other structures.
