CStreetBuilding In Community
For the past five months, I've been building an ambassador program for web3 developers with one of the most brilliant and kind minds I've ever met in the space. The process has been anything but easy and on a daily basis, our team navigates a plethora of uncertainties that are simply the norm in our ecosystem, along with a few random anomalies that are not. With the support of our team and colleagues, we are kicking off the first cohort of this program next week and our mission for ...

JournoDAO attended the ONA23 conference last week to talk about two core missions of our DAO; 1) how decentralization and blockchain can help protect the industry from the waves of AI disinformation filling our timelines and 2) how do we restore journalism at the local level using decentralized technology stacks to protect our communities from the perilous impacts of news deserts. After having just spent the summer in Paris, post ETHCC and ETHGlobal Paris, and being accustomed to ETH conferen...
CStreetWaking Up In a Post Roe World
For years, we’ve known of the attempt to roll back the clock on rights for anyone not male and white in this country. The strategy used by a radical, far-right political machine was not, nor has it ever been private. All laid bare for those with open eyes to see, process and watch in horror as it unfolds. For four decades. And yet many of us were called conspiratorial, alarmist, dramatic or just wrong. We were not. We were right. We always have been.Who are WE? WE are the marginalized, becaus...

I recently concluded a 30 year adventure in academia and obtained an undergraduate degree in Yoga. I know, it’s as strange to type that as it was to experience it. The TL;DR is that about every 10 years, I return to academia for a few years and study something that I’m passionate about. The first round was outdoor recreation, the second round was photojournalism and political science and the third round-- yoga with a minor in religion. The say I’m a lifelong learner is a gross understatement.
As part of my studies, I had to create a capstone project that encapsulated my studies to date. I decided to take a “tagline” I’ve been using for my work for the past decade and make it a capstone of sorts. “Exploring the intersections of humanity, technology and the mystical” landed me with a bizarre capstone project for a Buddhist-inspired university. I decided to spend 1.5 years working on a thesis to protect wisdom traditions through decentralization. This work will one day down the road be the foundation for a PHD, but until then, I’ll simply return to this thesis as decentralization itself evolves and this project becomes more of a reality. I also hope to begin actually building this at some point in 2024, once my work finds a cadence that allows for the exploration of a side project this deep.
Here’s the visual presentation from my 25 page thesis, which I’ll add to this essay once I scrub the boring academic requirements from the document. In the meantime…enjoy!
If you’re so inclined, here’s the full 28 page thesis (undergraduate thesis, so it’s not super dense).
