Vitalik Buterin Calls for Reflection on Ethereum’s Social Philosophy

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggests that the network’s general purpose foundation allows for a shift in focus toward application-level social philosophy. He argues that while good social philosophy isn’t crucial for the base layer, it should be reflected in the applications built on Ethereum. Buterin emphasizes that app developers hold responsibility for embedding those values into their creations, believing this to be more effective than directly influencing the base layer.
