An “uncle” is kind of like an orphan block in Bitcoin—a valid block that doesn't make it into the main chain. So if the target uncle rate were 0.4, it would mean that the network is striving for 4 % of blocks uncled on average, explained Buterin. If the network were uncling at a higher rate, like 0.6, then miners would need to push down the gas limit. The gas limit has this effect because smaller blocks propagate faster and less uncling supposedly occurs in a network where propagation times are less varied.
Later on, Buterin argued that while Bitcoin developers are arguing about whether to change the blocksize from 1MB to 8MB, the thinking behind Ethereum has been less about numbers and more about mechanisms, like the target uncle rate approach. “Choosing institutions rather than choosing results is a kind of a more robust way of doing governance,” Buterin said.
“But the meta-level concern is, in general, how do these choices get chosen?” he added. "
His last words nailed it, it is not a technical problem, thus any technical solution will not work. The conflict is caused by different view from different person, it will always happen in future
How do human solve conflicts? War? Vote? Diplomacy? Divide? When I think about these, I really shocked that human's decision making mechanism are so poor, it is almost like still in stone age
