I digress but the main point is simple: the drivers of social coherence, such as culture, governance, morality, law, shared stories, and shared values might as well be considered “technologies”. These stories, at least as much as our manipulations of fire, matter, and information, sustain our relationships with one another and with the planet.... See more

I digress but the main point is simple: the drivers of social coherence, such as culture, governance, morality, law, shared stories, and shared values might as well be considered “technologies”. These stories, at least as much as our manipulations of fire, matter, and information, sustain our relationships with one another and with the planet. Their status registers how well we are doing, at least as meaningfully as the potency of our machines.
Dao efficiency parity forecast. The flipenning of DAOs creating more value than tradcos - Tradcos learn linearly - DAOs have strong network effects, both internally but also learning from each other. This creates an exponential learning rate.- We're still early in DAOs. Figuring stuff out - Bitcoin is a dao - We’ve learned about Governance tokens -... See more

As I wrote in Good Ideas , “The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow future, hovering on the edges of the present state of things, a map of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself.” Each moment in our history unlocks new doors of adjacent possibilities. The trick is to figure out what they are exactly, and whether they’re leading us... See more

DAOs are not corporations: where decentralization in autonomous organizations matters

But over the past few years, we’ve seen a lot of clamoring for what comes next. Virtual reality? Augmented reality? Autonomous vehicles? Web3?

When does it make sense for a tradco to decentralize? - It’s very hard. Need a v good reason. - Why would you want to: - Decentralize governance - Decentralize ownership and upside - Can potentially make product or protocol better because you’re getting direct feedback

The major consumer applications of AI will lean heavily into sophisticated recommendations that anticipate your wants and desires before you even know them—in the same way that the TikTok For You Page has shown people that they’re gay before they themselves have even arrived at that realization.
