But so I think he really, hammers the point home of why this is interesting is because, quote, if humanity is to solve challenges like climate change and public goods infrastructure, we must come up with the methods of managing shared resources with significantly lower risk of capture, which I a 100% agree. I think these very large problems like climate change are not going to be solved unless we can, at the very least, figure out how to work together better. And, of course, like capitalism being a very present force for influencing how we interact with one another, I think is an important problem, of course, that I really focus on or that kinda needs to be solved. And the left, I think, focuses on a lot that, maybe a lot of people, in crypto don't necessarily think about in, like, a explicit way, but I still think that it's it's it's still an interesting question. It's like a lot of crypto people, they ask the right questions even though they don't necessarily come to the right solutions all the time. So I think one of the things that this, of course, detailing of the problem doesn't note, is kind of, like, why people go against the collective and, like, how, an organization is sort of influenced by capitalism where there are larger systems and incentives that influence people's behavior, like the profit motive, like the effects of the power of capital. But this problem is still an issue in organizations that are ostensibly not motivated by profits, like socialist organizations, which have been notoriously known for being captured in various ways, either through bad actors like state agencies or just by dissenters of a specific political strategy or tactic. You have, you know, democratic centralism was one of the ways in which, you know, Marxist Leninists kind of figure out how to, deal with that problem. And, you know, of course, there are I think it's worth having that debate of whether or not that's a good strategy or not to sort of solve that problem. But either way, depending how you look at it, to prevent capture is something that is relevant, whether it's for DAOs or it's for an organization like the DSA, you know. So I I I think that this is, you know, a good place to kind of start and a good place for people on the left to pay attention to in the DAO and crypto space.
