I've been reading and re-reading @robin's post, "The Internet Transition," for days now, and it's stupendous.

It matches and extends every intuition I've had about this new world we're in, and puts it all to words in a seemingly effortless way. I know how much effort it took, because it's the post I've always wished I could have written on the topic. Anyone who cares about governance or structures in our complicated new world should absolutely give it a go.

The Internet Transition

The Internet is allowing us to build a richer, more complex society but the way in which we Internet today is failing to support the governance systems that a more complex world requires. I take a look at why these issues are related, try to develop an intuition for a way forward, and point at the emerging field that is coming together to build that future.

"Polycentric governance involves similarly overlapping and intersecting institutions that act independently from one another, typically with local knowledge (essentially “using the world as its own model,” which contrasts with bureaucratic legibility), and interact in ways that are typically more robust and (empirically) more effective."

#GoodNotPerfect coalitions of service providers are feeling these pressures now, interested to hear about the empiric part of more effective.
