@Bruno_Nardi @bryan_caplan The open borders thing is a good example. Economists and many other elites tend to favor something closer to it (though rarely go all the way), whereas populists tend to favor locking people out of the places they can be most happy and productive by strict government force.

@Bruno_Nardi@bryan_caplan开放边境就是一个很好的例子。经济学家和许多其他精英倾向于支持更接近它的东西（尽管很少全力以赴），而民粹主义者倾向于将人们锁在严格的政府力量可以让他们最快乐、最高效的地方。

@Bruno_Nardi On many specific issues, intellectual elites are actually more pro-freedom than most others.
@bryan_caplan has some good stats on this. Recommend reading The Myth of the Rational Voter.

@Bruno_Nardi在许多具体问题上，知识精英实际上比其他大多数人更支持自由。
@布莱恩·卡普兰对此有一些很好的统计数据。理性阅读的神话。

Contradiction between my desire to be a positive-sum mediator figure that can be everyone's friend and my desire to stand strongly with good against evil those times when true evil is what we face.

我想成为一个能成为每个人朋友的正和调解人的愿望，以及在我们面对真正邪恶的时候，我想坚定地站在正义与邪恶之间的矛盾。

Contradiction between my desire to maximally simplify the L1 and my desire to maximally simplify the whole ecosystem (as a simple L1 often "exports" its complexity to higher layers of the stack that users have to adopt anyway)

我希望最大限度地简化L1和我希望最大限度地简化整个生态系统之间的矛盾（因为简单的L1通常会将其复杂性“导出”到堆栈的更高层，用户无论如何都必须采用）

Contradiction between my desire for crypto to grow beyond finance and my realization that finance (incl payments+SoV) is still by far the most successful category of crypto apps, *especially* among third-world residents, human rights activists and vulnerable people generally.

我对加密技术超越金融领域的渴望与我意识到金融（包括支付+SoV）仍然是迄今为止最成功的加密应用类别之间的矛盾，尤其是在第三世界居民、人权活动人士和弱势群体中。

Contradiction between my dislike of many modern financial blockchain "applications" ($3M monkeys etc), and my grudging appreciation for the fact that that stuff is a big part of what keeps the crypto economy running and pays for all my favorite cool DAO/governance experiments.

我不喜欢许多现代金融区块链“应用程序”（300万美元猴子等），我不情愿地欣赏这样一个事实，即这些东西是密码经济运行的重要组成部分，为我最喜欢的酷DAO/治理实验买单。

Contradiction between my desire to see more diversity in interesting *cultures* and my realization that maintaining a culture that's distinct from the mainstream seems to often require *some* kind of insanity or artificial barrier or similar thing that I ideologically dislike.

我渴望在有趣的文化中看到更多的多样性，而我意识到要保持一种不同于主流的文化似乎常常需要某种疯狂、人为的障碍或类似的东西，而我在意识形态上不喜欢这些东西，这两者之间存在矛盾。

Contradiction between my desire to see more countries adopting radical policy experiments (eg. crypto countries!) and my realization that the governments most likely to go all the way on such things are more likely to be centralized and not friendly to diversity internally.

我希望看到更多国家采用激进政策试验（例如加密国家！）的愿望之间的矛盾我意识到，最有可能在这类事情上一意孤行的政府更有可能是中央集权的，对内部的多样性不友好。

Contradiction between my love for things like decentralization and democracy, and my realization that in practice I agree with intellectual elites more than "the people" on many (though definitely far from all) specific policy issues.

我对权力下放和民主的热爱，以及我意识到在实践中，我在许多（尽管绝对不是所有）具体政策问题上更认同知识精英而非“人民”之间的矛盾。

Contradiction between my desire to see Ethereum become an L1 that can survive truly extreme circumstances and my realization that many key apps on Ethereum already rely on far more fragile security assumptions than anything we consider acceptable in Ethereum protocol design.

我希望看到以太坊成为能够在真正极端环境下生存的L1，但我意识到以太坊上的许多关键应用已经依赖于比我们认为在以太坊协议设计中可以接受的任何安全假设都要脆弱得多的安全假设，这两者之间存在矛盾。

Contradiction between my preference for reducing reliance on individuals and trying to build fixed systems that can stand the test of time and my appreciation of "live players" and their role in helping the world move forward.

我倾向于减少对个人的依赖，试图建立能够经受时间考验的固定体系，而我对“活玩家”及其在帮助世界前进中的作用的欣赏，两者之间存在矛盾。

Contradiction between my desire to see Ethereum become a more Bitcoin-like system emphasizing long-term stability and stability, including culturally, and my realization that getting there requires quite a lot of active coordinated short-term change.

我希望以太坊成为一个更像比特币的系统，强调长期稳定和稳定，包括文化稳定，但我意识到实现这一目标需要大量积极协调的短期变化，这两者之间存在矛盾。

Thread: some still open contradictions in my thoughts and my values, that I have been thinking about but still don't feel like I've fully resolved.

线索：我的思想和价值观中仍然存在一些公开的矛盾，我一直在思考这些矛盾，但仍然感觉不到我已经完全解决了。

@sassal0x @NeerajKA "Well maybe Vitalik should first solve the hunger problem in HIMSELF. The kid looks like he literally came out of a prisoner of war camp. No wonder he hates PoW!"

@sassal0x@NeerajKA“也许Vitalik应该首先解决自己的饥饿问题。这孩子看起来就像是从战俘营出来的。难怪他讨厌战俘！”

@sassal0x @NeerajKA "Hey Vitalik, I know you've been helping poor people get food, so look, I just lost 42% on my AVAX, I'm poor too. Won't you please show some compassion and send me 5 eth so my lil bro and I can get some sushi?"
- approximate paraphrase of stuff people have actually tweeted at me

@sassal0x@NeerajKA“嘿，维塔利克，我知道你一直在帮助穷人获得食物，所以你看，我的AVAX刚损失了42%，我也很穷。你能不能表现出一些同情心，给我寄5个eth，这样我和我的小兄弟就可以吃寿司了？”
-人们在推特上对我说的话的大致解释

@philmohun @elidourado @ATabarrok @tylercowen 2. Vote threshold should be higher than 50%. Ideally, the threshold should be as high as the threshold needed to overturn any minority rights protections in Denmark or Greenland through other means.

@philmohun@elidourado@ATabarrok@tylercowen 2。投票门槛应高于50%。理想情况下，门槛应该与通过其他方式推翻丹麦或格陵兰的任何少数民族权利保护所需的门槛一样高。

@philmohun @elidourado @ATabarrok @tylercowen Two caveats:
1. If instead of buying Greenland, US wanted to buy some land in the middle of Denmark, *and* the US was a hostile power looking to put a mil base there, then security interests of all of Denmark should be considered

@philmohun@elidourado@ATabarrok@tylercowen两个警告：
如果美国不购买格陵兰岛，而是想在丹麦中部购买一些土地，*并且*美国是一个敌对国家，希望在那里建立军事基地，那么应该考虑丹麦所有国家的安全利益

@philmohun @elidourado @ATabarrok @tylercowen I'd say the deal would be reasonable!
Bribery is typically bad because it creates misalignment between the decisionmaker and those affected by their decisions. Here, Greenlanders would be both the decisionmakers and the main people affected for good and for ill.

@philmohun@elidourado@ATabarrok@tylercowen我认为这笔交易是合理的！
贿赂通常是不好的，因为它在决策者和受其决策影响的人之间造成了不一致。在这里，无论好坏，格林兰人都将是决策者和主要受影响的人。
