Conjecture: Absolute privacy + Absolute ability to selectively reveal any information one has, are theoretically optimal, transparency beyond that wont lead to better negotiation outcomes. Discussion of the privacy/​coordination tension has previously missed this, specifically, it has missed the fact that technologies for selectively revealing self-verifying information, such as ZKVMs, suggest that the two are not in tension.
As to what’s a viable path to a more coordinated world in practice, though, who knows.
