IMO, a lot of ambiguous laws and polices create different outcomes for similar inputs, and that should not be the case of legal systems and institutions. Money is perhaps the first of the government aspects to be easier to express in decentralized code, but I won't be surprised to see this as only the beginning of a trend. Think autonomous cars replacing drivers and other interesting similar developments.
I get that it's pretty natural that people would consider it a bad thing for people to hand over power to computer code. It makes perfect sense if you consider yourself not as a person but as a collection of electrical impulses floating around in your brain, though. Computers are the same thing, they just transmit those electrical impulses millions of times faster.
I've found that having an accurate model of the world - one that can generate likely predictions - is very important for profit now and potentially for survival in the near future. Knowing that people are frequently blind to changes in the world that do not place them at the center of the universe, it's worth correcting for that bias in myself and envisioning a world where humans are not necessarily on top. What would that look like, and what's my best chance for survival in such a world, given that I am human?
Complex systems often exhibit complex emergent behavior. Humans are part of that system. Humans are not the only part of that system, and it makes sense that agents interacting at speeds millions of times greater than us might eventually come to dominate the system.
Lots of people banded together to rollback the degree to which capitalism dominanted life in the developed world, and were pretty successful at it over the last century.
Uh, no? Computers aren't people.
