Awesome essay about Spritely Goblins by @garbados, and the experiences of coming to understand why it's interesting: https://garbados.github.io/my-blog/conceptual-intro-to-spritely-goblins.html

@darius @cwebber i think the closest i get to answering your question is this:
> No longer will we have to ham-fist our modes of relation into artifacts like blockchains or instances, gluing brittle access schemes atop them. By virtue of decades of compounded effort and expertise, we will at last able to code decentralized programs with nuanced permissions from the outset.

@cwebber @garbados To put it another way, Diana says
> If you're still reading, I suspect you're thinking one of two things: "This doesn't make any sense," which I get a lot, or, "What's the catch?"
My thought at that point of the article is rather: "This makes sense! Why should I care?"

@cwebber @garbados I was waiting to hear Diana's take on this! What's interesting to me is that her understanding of Spritely Goblins matches my own basically 100% from all the reading I've done. I am just not able to look at the facts of OCAP and extrapolate "what does this give me *that I care about*?" I'm not saying there's nothing there, just that I am unable to make the leap from "what the things does" to "how will this make people's lives better in a way that current technology does not"
