Plurality philosophy in an incredibly oversized nutshell

Vitalik Buterin argues that crypto must shift from circumventing outside governance to building its own, and that a principled framework valuing both freedom and democracy, called Plurality, can handle modern tensions between coordination and freedom. He cites Ron DeSantis's Florida ban on lab-grown meat, which Libertarian Party New Hampshire criticized, and Google's Android feature that warns users of likely scams during calls, which Meredith Whittaker of the Signal Foundation opposed. The post introduces Plurality as the book by Glen Weyl and Audrey Tang, which treats connections between individuals as a first-class design object and describes three ideological poles: Technocracy, Libertarianism and Plurality.
