It might help to portray the difference between current blockchains / EVM (server-based truth), versus this in like 2 sentences:

1) EVM processing costs are prohibitive Vs. DeSo cheap
2) EVM justice is a hard-fork Vs. human consensus is flexible




here's what i thought about quote reposting with lol

thinking outside the box to enable trustless-ness on DESO. 

In this post, he describes a consensus mechanism for layers above the data. 
DESO uses revolution proof of stake, where individuals 'vote' on server reputation using their capital, thereby delegating the duty to verify blockchain data.

However, there exists layers above data storage, where it might be ideal for individuals to verify directly, i.e. 1 person 1 vote. For items such as NFT ownership, smart contracts, voting systems, truth- what if the 'nodes' were people?

For example, we've seen the ByBit hack, where malicious javascript was run on a singular employee's PC, taking 400kETH... The alternative would be--javascript required to be run by 10 different ByBit employees to send funds. 

For ex. I state: 'I will send $100 to X if Y happens'. If Y happens and I defect from the original javascript/promise, there will be other people to run the original promise in the background, until votes are compiled on-chain, and the money is sent from a custodial wallet.

A mix of consensus mechanisms is a great take here, could see it.

"The True Consensus of Liberty"

... is the idea that genuine freedom arises when collective decisions are made transparently and rooted in an immutable truth.

It suggests that liberty is best secured not by the decree of a single authority, but through an honest, shared agreement among the people - each person one vote. This phrase implies that when every voice is heard and every decision is grounded in unalterable facts—while recorded on a blockchain through public discourse—we achieve a purer truer form of democracy.

Here, consensus isn't simply about majority rule; it's about the ability for a minority to also define their law and how they meet compromise with the majority. An equal participation in developing law that embodies the true spirit of liberty, where every individual is both a participant and a guardian of the shared truth that is the foundation of our new society: The True Consensus of Liberty.
