Episode 13 - Light-hearted Sunday morning meditation on law, code, social agreements, and Moloch

Good morning! This morning I highlight an article written by @eaglelex_eth. In his article he brings to light the issues with the general assertion that "Code is law" in the crypto space and dev world. While we all want to reform the current system that is rife with systematic oppression and segregation, what happens if we completely replace it with code? Does this open the door for new types of attacks and/or a dehumanization of the law? Does this set into motion a Moloch-style mechanism that goes on auto-pilot and leads humanity into destruction? Lots of these light-hearted questions are going through my head on this happy Sunday morning!
