Hi Birk. Thank you for your very in-depth response, I found it very interesting. That’s pretty much how i imagined the governance system when I wrote the post. I actually had it as a description like that originally but I hated the implications for liberalism, so i took a step back and listed requirements instead (which didn’t actually help).
The “points of no return” do seem quite contingent, and I’m always sceptical about the tractability of trying to prevent something from happening—usually my approach is: it’s probably gonna happen, how do we prepare? But besides that, I’m going to look into more specific “points of no return” as there could be a needle hiding in the noodles somewhere. I feel like this is the kind of area where we could be missing something, e.g. the point of no return is really close, or there could be a tractable way to influence the implementation of that point of no return.
