|content=But stop romanticizing the bottom up too. The bottom is a mess. The top is a mess. The best we can do is sort out what makes sense the best we can. Thanks for engaging. Hope it helps.
Last thought: think about failure modes and always about systems of selective pressures. Ciao.

|content=Overcentralization, elitism, and in the case that concerns me with you and the "IDW" is replacement of elites with other elites instead of dismantling of the structure that distorts bottom-up processes.

|content=@normonics @Gore_Burnelli @EricWeinstein Your true elite want to do a lot for the world. The rent-seeking elite find this terrifying. You don’t want me doing amateur brain surgery on your child because you want to democratize everything. I’m just not an elite musician so I let the top rise.There are limits to inclusion.

|content=@normonics @Gore_Burnelli @EricWeinstein Well, I do want my generals to decide what is best for me as I don’t know the military. But I want them accountable. But not overly so. You see where I’m going? We have to trust elites. But they can’t be private rent seekers and they can’t be incompetent or wholly unaccountable.

|content=@EricWeinstein the kind of elitism that worries me is not "high performers" within a given domain, it is a social system where some are set up to decide for others what is "best" for them.

|content=A Turkish rap video on YouTube, #I CAN’T STAY QUIET, has been watched by 8.5M in one day, more than one-tenth of Turkey’s population. The video has touched a deep nerve. Vast numbers are yearning to speak freely and honestly about the regime’s rottenness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5K3IxINr7A
