Beautifully written and articulated, Joe. I’m always amazed by the very few people like you, Vitalik, Andreessen, who can move so gracefully from the granular technical level to the widest macro view, including social justice— and then also communicate the most salient concepts so clearly and convincingly.

With any luck (and a lot of hard work and social-consensus building) we’ll never know how narrowly we avoided “a black swan swooping non-linearly from nowhere and getting tangled in the helicopter blades, causing a domino-effect crisis and collapse”.
