Yeah, I think a recurring wrong thing throughout the Coordination Frontier sequence is me thinking in terms of people inventing mechanisms. I think this is mostly not cruxy for what the Coordination Frontier sequence is for, which is a guide for people who are optimizing for experimenting and pushing forward coordination theory/practice. Slow Cultural Accumulation is probably how many coordination mechanisms first happened, but it ain’t gonna compound fast enough to navigate the 21st century.
