“In a later book, The Clock Of The Long Now, Stewart Brand applied the idea of shearing layers—or pace layers—to civilisation itself. The slowest moving layer is nature, then there’s culture, followed by governance, then infrastructure, and finally commerce and fashion are the fastest layers. In a loosely‐coupled way, each layer depends on the layer below.” - https://resilientwebdesign.com/chapter5/

Interesting idea because it seems like we now have the infrastructure (#Bitcoin + #Nostr) to bypass the current governance layer and feed directly into the culture layer. Seems natural then that a new governance layer will be formed to properly intermediate culture and infrastructure.

Hopefully it’s a lot smaller than the current overgrown and stifling governance layer.
