Nov 2
"What Radicalized Your Future-Self: A Digital Bouquet" is an anthology and debate-by-curation that invites us to transform our collective grief over environmental collapse into a catalyst for action. Through collaborative storytelling, the project envisions near-future scenarios where ordinary people, radicalized by impending systemic collapses and disasters, become agents of change. The project weaves together stories set in near-future scenarios where systemic collapses—be it environmental ...

I wake up to an ocean acidified by fracking, irradiated from Fukushima, and permeated by microplastics. Such endless cascades of avoidable catastrophes led to green-tinted waves and orange-cast skies. Did you know that before the emergence of oxygen, before it nearly exterminated life and forced the rest to adapt, those were the colors of the world? In these quiet, reflective moments, my mind wanders to what I imagine as the pantheon of natural selection, a once-majestic assembly of forces th...

A love letter to my writing self
Dear writing self, I'm done writing ghost stories. Once upon a time, writing felt like a lonely journey. Now, after so many journeys, I have come to realize that writers are never truly alone in our writing. We are haunted by memory and culture, guided by our ancestors – yet even our inner demons of guilt, shame and fear can be embraced. Within us lies entire worlds within worlds, waiting to be discovered. It was in this ensemble I found you, this bricolage of self-expression and frolick...

Techno-solutionism: from Soylent Green to DAOs
As DAOs become more and more prevalent, it is important to reflect on the implications of their governance structures. In particular, we should be aware of the dangers of techno-solutionism: the belief that technology will solve all our problems. DAOs may seem like purely technical entities, but they are embedded in social and political contexts that can have far-reaching effects. We need to be vigilant about how decisions made in DAOs are affecting real people and communities. As we move int...

Decentralized sensemaking environments: from digital gardens to bouquets, forests and beyond
TeaserMost of us are familiar with the centralized sensemaking environments: a few central authorities figure out what's important, then disseminate that information to the masses through channels like news media, schools, and workplaces. But in recent years, there's been a shift towards decentralized sensemaking environments, where people are more empowered to make their own sense of the world. One example is the digital garden, where individuals cultivate their own collection of r...

Parachuting cats and 6 ways to improve sense-making for your DAO right now
Think about the last time you struggled to make a decision. Maybe it was something as small as what to have for breakfast or as important as whether to quit your job. To make the best decision possible, you would need to think critically about the problem and all the factors involved, including how each option would play out in the future. But we know this isn’t possible because there are always unknown variables that we cannot hope to understand or predict. This is one of the reasons why it ...

Learning-oriented Governance part 2: DAO Ops as ResearchOps
This is draft is being co-written with an AI. I share it as is, learning and building in public. In many ways, DAOs are like a research lab. It's a place where new ideas can be tested, and new technologies can be explored. As such, it's important to treat DAO operations with the same level of care and caution that we would treat research operations. We need to make sure that we're taking every precaution to protect our people, data, and our tokens. At the same time, we need to ...

Whichever vision of the future you choose to believe in, it's important to remember that it's just that – a visi...
