Foresight News reports that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the trend of future democratic systems may reduce reliance on 'transparency and accountability', opting instead for more indirect methods and providing more space for (diverse, collective) personal conscience. For example, voting on UN resolutions should be secret, allowing each country to choose (and change) its own representatives, but once a choice is made, what the representatives do is determined by their own conscience. This also applies to DAOs.
