I spoke to Leuts.eth, CEO of Aragon, a DAO tooling protocol that gives organizations the tools to build, govern, and accrue value effectively onchain.

Slavoj Zizek on Network States
The one and only Slavoj Zizek published a piece on Network States and of course I had to read it and share it with you all. It’s normally behind a paywall on his Substack but was put on Fileverse by recent guest Naomi for all to read. Check out the article on Fileverse here.
