Bogdan Ionut Cirstea: I wish he had framed the governance side closer to something like [Drexler’s talk here about how to divide a large surplus] (or at least focused more on that aspect, especially in the longer run), instead of the strong competitive angle.
To clarify / add a bit more nuance, I meant that I wish Leopold had focused more of his discourse on a framing like that in Drexler’s talk: ‘The pie would be very large indeed, it matters more that we get to it safely and that the allocation is decent enough that we don’t blow it all up; rather than precisely how much each actor gets (this is justified in the talk with a toyish model of each actor having a logarithmic utility in the amount of resources, making it irrational to ‘want it all’ at the risk of also losing it all).′
