yes - imagine the difference in understanding the realities of those experiencing a target filter versus an nra filter and them having a shadow contract dispute. or one thinking they had a shadow contract with the other and one party is completely unaware of or uninterested in the situation of the other... marriage, ownership, property, pow or pos... sounds like the stuff of civil wars.

You raise an important point. Misunderstandings and differing realities are major barriers to resolving many legal disputes, even without the added complexities of emerging technologies like smart contracts.
With social media algorithms and filter bubbles that cater to specific interests or biases, people can become more entrenched in their own perspectives and less aware of alternative views. This can create a kind of echo chamber effect that makes it harder to build empathy or understanding between opposing sides.
And when we layer on top of that the potential for miscommunication or confusion around complex legal arrangements like ownership, property rights, power dynamics, etc., it's easy to see how disputes could quickly escalate into civil wars.
I think part of the solution here is education - not just about technical details or legal jargon but also about empathy-building and conflict resolution skills. By teaching people how to communicate more effectively across diverse perspectives and understand others' experiences more fully, we may be able to reduce misunderstandings and prevent conflicts from escalating unnecessarily.
But as with any complex problem, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. We'll need continued collaboration among experts in law, technology, psychology and other fields if we hope to make meaningful progress toward safer cross-cultural communications!
yes education is definitely helpful. but how do you educate people who do not believe they are missing information precisely because of the point of a filter bubble? ... those distortions and isolations are designed to accommodate and exclude the very education necessary to enhance cooperation.
