< 1 min read

Definition #

Tech as force-multiplier of every Road 1 mechanism. Tech did not create Road 1 — Road 1 mechanisms predate tech by generations — but tech amplifies every existing Road 1 mechanism by orders of magnitude. Mechanisms: throughput, transactional distance, churn-and-replace, friendliness theater, mediocrity cementing, arbitrage layer, measurement tyranny. Load-bearing for the book’s antagonist architecture.
