So what happens when someone finds a flaw in the contract and empties you out?

Evidently, you hard fork the chain.

Ethereum proved that automated systems that serve human needs will eventually incur human intervention.

"automated systems that serve human needs will eventually incur human intervention" this is just wrong.

The world is moving towards more automated systems, the fact that there was one mistake at a given point in time doesn't mean anything.

By mistake I mean putting so much money on an unproved experiment.

so if your account gets emptied by hackers, it's justified because this is just how decentralization works? Who is claiming this is "how the world works now" and who asked for a solution? It seems to me Ethereum and other products built on it solves problems imagined by the creators and balk when people poke holes at it, without responding with a modicum of rationality but a lot of self fulfilling prophecy.

Why would anyone expose themselves to more risks by using Aragon?

Why decentralize and create more problems when everybody has been using centralized systems without issues over the past few centuries?

What problem is it that you are solving with Aragon? I don't see one.

Better yet, are you running Aragon to run your company? This question has come up multiple times in the comments with no response. It's pretty telling.

Oh yeah, the number of questions in this thread without answers should tell you everything you need to know about Aragon.

Any founder with a legit business who shows his project to Hacker News and gets ~40 some odd people to comment on it would almost certainly want to keep up that conversation.

That's why initiatives such as https://openzeppelin.org are needed.

We build on top of them and all our contracts will be throughly audited before going into production

Regardless of how audited the code is, the DAO fiasco showed that the Ethereum miners will modify the "immutable" blockchain if it reaches an unpopular result, even when the bug is in a contract and not Ethereum itself.
