It's easy to read this post and think it's about feedback loops and governance discussions.
I think that might be a part of it, but there's something else at the heart of the post and that is the absence of from the ground up voting and a complete lack of true representation, for everyone, as it is listed in the TENETS.
What if the issue isn't about feedback, platforms, or the when, where, and how discussions occur?
What if the issue is more specific to treasury management and governance? Is this hybrid dPoS ideal for treasury governance?
Is the absence of direct participation disenfranchising to the average stakeholder? Are their other ppl or groups that dont feel represented?
Should there be a discursive or dialectic democratic mandate? Does the current Constitution allow for this? How would we capture that onchain?
When do we stop to consider these questions? Or are we going to continue building products in silos that arent addressing the integrity of several fundamental principles?

There's no good feedback loop in Cardano governance.View quoted post on X
Those who vote aren't necessarily those who build and use the chain. You can sit on a ton of $ADA for years, never use anything on-chain and still have more voting power than anyone who's used all of it.
This needs to change. We need voting to be bottom-up not top-down.
I have my own solutions and will be building them into StarchPay. I hope that can be an example we can use to make Cardano better.
