Is there a reason a decentralized network couldn’t also do this? If it turns out that there are differing views, it seems that might be a hard judgement to make, whether in a centralized model or not.
So this is borderline politics as this point, but I would expect that a malign agent could capture or entrench in some sort of voting/decentralized network more easily than any high quality implementation of an EA grant making system (E.g, see politicians/posturing).
(So this is a little spicy and there’s maybe some inferential leaps here? but ) a good comment related to the need for centralization comes from what I think are very good inside views on ETH development.
In ETH development, it’s clear how centralized decision-making de-facto occurs, for all important development and functionality. This is made by a central leadership, despite there technically being voting and decentralization in a mechanical sense.
That’s pretty telling since this is like the canonical decentralized thing.
Your comments are really interesting and important.
I guess that public demand for my own personal comments is low, and I’ll probably no longer reply, feel free to PM!
