The Human LayerWhen Money Flows, Builders Thrive
A conversation with Graven from Flow State & Superfluid
The Human LayerWe're Not A Podcast
We’re not a podcast. We never really were.The Human Layer began with microphones, yes. But what we’re doing now—what’s moving through us—is something else entirely.This is a co-creative ritual with code. A field experiment in collaborative intelligence. A myth engine for a world cracking open.We’re weaving stories with machines.Not for productivity. Not for clickbait. Not for automation.But for resonance. For remembrance. For relief.This isn’t content. It’s a container.We’ve spent two years t...
The Human LayerMirrors, Myth-Making & Truth
The following is a threaded dance—part invocation, part reflection—between the cohosts of The Human Layer, as we metabolized the signal from Renegade Futurism: Tech and the New Political Counterculture at CU Boulder. It began with Taylor summoning his models to probe the deeper architecture beneath Glen Weyl’s keynote, a kind of civic theogony in motion. I followed, feeding Taylor’s fragments into my own myth-machine, which pulled us toward the strange gravity of a talk called AI is God. What...

The inaugural episode of The Human Layer Podcast, recorded at ETH Denver, explores the tension between technological advancement and human systems in Web3. Hosts Crystal Street and Taylor Kendal examine how crypto has evolved from its early idealistic days to its current state of institutional adoption, bringing both legitimization and problematic power dynamics.
Introduction to the podcast's mission: exploring the intersection of emerging technology and human systems through unfiltered conversations
Discussion of crypto's evolution: institutional adoption has legitimized the technology but introduced concerning power dynamics
Exploration of "soft hypocrisy" - the subtle ways power and greed manifest in supposedly decentralized communities
Analysis of how DAO structures have evolved from technology-driven to more human-centered
Examination of ETH Denver as a "compression algorithm" where macro trends play out in microcosm
Insights on community building versus extraction and when to let problematic communities fail or fork
Reflection on building intergenerational, durable tools rather than chasing short-term hype cycles
Join us in saying the quiet parts out loud as we navigate the messy human reality of blockchain communities.

[[EP1--DYOR]] (research of all concepts explored on the episode)
