interestingly, institutions and bureaucracies are the best way to group sense-make now.

This is what it's like to experience Whitehead's theory of advancement unfolding in realtime. Just an intuition, but I think this is much more than just increased dopamine and viral loads, might just be a pre-condition for increased coordination ability.

This is still the wildest/amazing thing about crypto to me and probably why it's so hard to pinpoint a single mental model: it's the only space I've been in where the word means so many different things to both insiders and outsiders. So many clearly defined factions under 1 umbrella
