user : Heterogeneity of preferences, and preference intensity, across any diverse group of individuals, and how this influences the dynamics of collective choice within organizations at impersonal or pseudonymous scale. assistant : ### What specific governance challenge or problem are you observing? Please be as concrete as possible about what's happening and why it matters. user : Specific decisions matter differently to different group members. Each member cares a lot, affirmatively or negatively, about a few decisions that the group has to make (or those exercising governance authority on behalf of the group), cares a little (either positively or negatively) about most decisions, and isn't affected at all by some decisions. This leads to a variety of distortions in collective decision-making, including implicit horse trading where members tacitly vote for one another's priorities in exchange for the other member doing likewise in the future. This also leads to asymmetries of information as members are only rationally incentivized to be informed about the things they care about more intensely. assistant : ### What evidence or examples demonstrate this is a real problem? This could include failed proposals, low participation rates, specific incidents, data you've observed, or patterns you've noticed across projects. user : This is a pattern I've noticed in many DAOs I've observed and consulted with. This leads to low participation rates, proposals that only those with concentrated incentives understand, and non-representative proposals passing because of inattention or disinterest. assistant : Would you like to share another governance problem, or should we move on to exploring solutions and who's working on them?
