Somewhere in there i see a blockchain pitch.


Having a scientific blockchain looks like a decent idea... but of course it will not suffice and will be gamed. The real causes of the mess are complexity of the world compared with our minds and tools and the lack of epistemologic undestanding as society,institutions, culture. Science can't be more than a nice and usefull collection of heuristics. Otherwise is just the Scientism religion lurking arround and pretenting to read God's mind. Metarationality concepts could offer an exit from the inevitable mess.


What do you mean by 'metarationality'? It's a term I've never seen before and I'm curious about it.


Game theory might be better suited.


I personally love this comment as a quintessence of startup mentality.
