I haven’t said IE claimed that, but that “getting people to take an action simultaneously is a central problem that has to be solved”, and he does hint at a kickstarter-like site for coordination, so it’s not far fetched from the book.
I don’t think the difficult thing about coordination is to get people to take an action simultaneously. I think it’s a far bigger problem to get people to stick with a certain project for a longer timeframe.
Getting people with different views to a consensus about how a problem is to be solved is another general coordination problem.
yes, I agree that both of these are also large problems of coordination that aren’t solved by collective action. we will need to find ways to do all of these better.
