Yes, this is why I put “decentralized” in the title even though it doesn’t really fit. What I was going for with the post is that you read it yourself, except whenever the author writes about law, you think for yourself about stacking the various applications that you care about (not courts) with the complex caveats that the author was writing about (while they were thinking about courts). Ideally I would have distilled it as the paper is a bit long.
This credibly demonstrates that the world we live in is more flexible than it might appear. And on the macro-civilizational scale, this particular tech looks like it will place honest souls higher-up on net, which everyone prefers. People can establish norms of remaining silent on particular matters, although the process of establishing those norms will be stacked towards people who can honestly say “I think this makes things better for everyone”, “I think this is a purity spiral” and away from those who can’t.
At work, you could expect to be checked for a “positive, loyal attitude toward the company” on as frequent a basis as was administratively convenient. It would not be enough that you were doing a good job, hadn’t done anything actually wrong, and expected to keep it that way. You’d be ranked straight up on your Love for the Company (and probably on your agreement with management, and very possibly on how your political views comported with business interests). The bottom N percent would be “managed out”.

This is probably already happening.
