mycelia 🌌Social Impact Era –– DAO/DIO/DIPs
After posting about LCE in the CCS DAO Discord I connected with Olli Tiainen, author of a new public good: DIOs - Decentralized Impact Organizations. The journey since has been inspiring, giving me a peek into the new Social Impact DAO/DIO space and its projects. Conversing with the founders of several protocols, I’ve noticed similarities between their approaches –– where efforts could be amplified through coordination –– as well as differences that give each ecosystem their own sense of comm...
mycelia 🌌A Radical Thesis for Web3 –– "Pinnacle of Collaboration"
“We are servants of the Secret Fire, wielders of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass!” - Us, to Baal, if we chooseHuman collaboration will be the pinnacle achievement of cryptoI’m stating this with certainty for two simple reasons: the quality of tools being built to incentivize coordination and the humans behind these tools. I’ve already explored some social impact projects being undertaken in the space, ...
mycelia 🌌Peaceful Revolution 🏴
Eugène Delacroix. “La Liberté guidant le peuple” (1830) United, we stand. Maximalist brainworms seem inevitable in a tribalistic society like ours, but standing strong together ensures we all succeed. I idolized this picture growing up –– imperialist colonizers excel at “we’re responsible for elevating worldwide democracy and human rights” propaganda ~ Isn’t it funny how based maidens always lead the charge towards liberation?well, not \*entirely\* peacefulLet’s not pay any attention to loser...

“‘Holobiont’ refers to an assemblage of different organisms that behave as a unit. Holobionts are the lichen of this world, more than the sum of their parts” – Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life
Lichen are the archetypal holobiont –– Algae / Cyanobacteria + Fungi forming a mutualistic relationship
Other fascinating features:
Some lichen are considered to be among the oldest living organisms
They may survive complete dehydration, as well as direct exposure to the vacuum of space
Their growth rate is regular yet extremely slow, about 1 millimeter a year
Reproduction takes place through vegetative reproduction –– propagation; or the dispersal of diaspores –– a plant dispersal unit consisting of a seed or spore
“Symbiosis in lichens is so well-balanced that lichens have been considered to be relatively self-contained miniature ecosystems in and of themselves”
Already, the parallels to Distributed Organizing are apparent:
No “DAO” is unique unto itself: whether relying on the underlying chain or established protocols, these organizations are positive symbiosis
If the DAO governance mechanism fulfills the Hyperstructure property of Unstoppability, participation continues forever
It’s common for DAOs to spawn new ones: through Forking / Vampire Attacks –– similar to propagation; or by spawning a SubDAO –– with a parallel focus
As I cover in Mutualistic Species Prosperity, DeFi is a miniature ecosystem –– A Holostructure: made up of near-Hyperstructures composing as larger than the sum of their parts
Basically, everyone should read Zefram’s 3 year old banger:
I’ll have more about this eventually but I just wanted an excuse to talk about Holobionts for now. Cheers <3
