CoinVoice recently learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the Warpcast platform: "I have noticed that the most successful new ideologies in the past decade have tended to be very specific problem-oriented (i.e. prescriptions for specific problems), and relatively little about the meta-level (i.e. the social process of how to make decisions on specific issues). Here are some examples:
Abstract libertarianism is weaker than it was a decade ago. But its versions on specific issues are quite successful: YIMBY (housing), cryptocurrency
e/acc (theoretically covers all technologies, but in practice mainly focuses on artificial intelligence)
The largest branch of effective altruism has moved from the meta-level âtry harder to make sure your donations do the most good!â to the specific levels (like AI safety, and to a lesser extent animal welfare and global public health)
Longevity exercise
Maybe Network Nation and Glen and Audreyâs diversity movement are two exceptions â but overall this seems to be a strong pattern. Why do you think this shift from the meta level to the specific level is happening? [Original link]
