"If you value nothing but leverage for the sake of leverage Leverage-For-Itself you will end up liquidating all cultural value. Everything; trust community cohesion etc. you'll turn them into measurable things and you will get leverage from doing so. It's why libertarians want unlimited immigration and open borders: if you value nothing but leverage and GDP you can endlessly justify liquidating everything culturally specific. You'll liquidate the family high-trust communities marriage etc. Before you know it all you'll have is computroniumyourself included"

"PoW vs. PMC Proof of Work is the alien invasion from the future directly competing with the Professional Managerial Class. Bureaucracy was one way of scaling capacity in modern society now it's burned out. Proof of Work is the new way to organize a civilization through impersonal mechanisms that are more fair rigorous and welfare-maximizing across the board. Ironically PoW might be the mechanism by which capitalists give to the common people their naive democratic-communist fantasies (post-scarcity distributive fairness)"
