Post Review Progress
Batch 1 (Posts 1-5) - COMPLETE
| # | Post | Decision | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | judgment-proof-compliance-vs-wisdom | EXPAND | Added medical licensing, corporate compliance, and university examples of the deskilling loop. Stronger ending that frames the book’s central question. |
| 2 | exclusive-inclusion | EXPAND | Added cross-identity evidence detail (race-avoidant CS departments, liberal arts behavioral pact, legal academia hiring). Added disentanglement matrix section. Expanded coercion section with Columbia/Brown settlement figures and Harvard court quote. |
| 3 | crosstagion-when-banks-break-stablecoins | EXPAND | Fixed grammar error (“maps” -> “map”). Added SVB counterfactual detail (FDIC choice was policy not law). Added Treasury/GENIUS Act irony (safe-asset mandate transmits Treasury stress). Added OCC NPRM/CLARITY Act omission. Added tri-agency jurisdiction cascade detail. |
| 4 | wrong-plaintiff-contract-damages-network-governance | REFINE | Added concrete calculus of cooperation ($100K payment vs career). Added Ali and Miller forgiveness/calibration insight — courts destroy the ability to distinguish accidental from strategic default. |
| 5 | private-governance-is-actually-a-club-good | REFINE | Added Richman counterfactual (DDC decline spread fraud costs). Expanded lobster gang detail. Added commons governance externalities (carbon sequestration, Valencia irrigation). Changed third-person “The article” to first-person “I.” |
Batch 2 (Posts 6-10) - COMPLETE
| # | Post | Decision | Notes | |—|——|———-|——-| | 6 | law-and-governance-the-missing-variable | REFINE | Changed third-person “This book argues” to first-person “I add.” Sharpened final sentence to be more assertive. | | 7 | what-the-genius-act-actually-does | REFINE | Fixed capitalized “My” to “my.” Cut generic closing line. Already long and well-structured. | | 8 | temporal-paradox-security-stops-being-security | REFINE | Fixed critical error: “I held” (referring to Judge Barbadoro’s ruling) changed to “the court held.” | | 9 | unbundling-employment-gig-workers | LEAVE | Clean, original proposal, good length. No changes needed. | | 10 | decentralization-illusion-daos | REFINE | Added Beanstalk flash loan attack as concrete illustration of governance concentration risk. “The label was the attack surface.” |
Batch 3 (Posts 11-15) - COMPLETE
| # | Post | Decision | Notes | |—|——|———-|——-| | 11 | why-supreme-court-made-crypto-legislation-inevitable | LEAVE | Tight, well-argued, appropriate length. | | 12 | state-stablecoins-genius-act-loophole | LEAVE | Surprising and concise. Effective one-line punch. | | 13 | esg-disclosure-can-backfire | REFINE | Changed third-person references to first-person. Consolidated final paragraph. | | 14 | antitrust-for-the-decentralized-internet | REFINE | Cut redundant final section. Sharpened ending to the core irony: competition policy preventing competition. | | 15 | not-all-tokens-are-securities | REFINE | Fixed capitalized “My” to “my.” Fixed “proposes” to “propose” (first-person consistency). |
Batch 4 (Posts 16-20) - COMPLETE
| # | Post | Decision | Notes | |—|——|———-|——-| | 16 | bridgefunding-fixing-the-series-a-gap | LEAVE | Good Wittlebee story, clear proposal, good length. | | 17 | paradox-valuing-trade-secrets | LEAVE | Tight, litigation-relevant, appropriate length. | | 18 | social-media-corporate-power-giant-goldfish | LEAVE | Clear structure, good length. | | 19 | hyperfunding-and-the-tesla-problem | REFINE | Fixed “argues” to “argue,” “I creates” to “I create.” Trimmed redundant final section. | | 20 | why-equity-crowdfunding-hasnt-democratized-startups | REFINE | Fixed capitalized “My” to “my.” |
Batch 5 (Posts 21-25) - COMPLETE
| # | Post | Decision | Notes | |—|——|———-|——-| | 21 | gender-gap-in-crowdfunding | REFINE | Fixed “Their findings” to “Our findings,” “their measure” to “our measure,” “Geiger and My” to “Our.” | | 22 | why-technology-replacing-employment | LEAVE | Clean, concise, makes its point. | | 23 | twitter-future-shareholder-activism | LEAVE | Dated but still interesting, appropriate length. | | 24 | short-history-of-financial-technology | REFINE | Fixed all capitalized “My” to lowercase. Fixed “I reframes” to “I reframe.” | | 25 | why-cle-doesnt-work | LEAVE | Clean, practical, niche but well-done. |
