What does the #Regen future look like? I have started a Sulfur Punk story, based on my experience with Regen Network at Wilbur Hot Springs last week, where they were building an Autonomous Ecological Institution. Read first instalment here: https://ellierennie.medium.com/flume-eda6d81fed46

These drafts are the product of years of ethnographic research on validator service providers, home staking, contribution systems (SourceCred). More to come, plus findings on attestations/VCs & NFTs. It’s all parts of a whole that I will synthesize eventually

Protecting Ethereum’s machine culture from the politics of people. (In which I alienate myself from my humanities colleagues whilst confounding computer scientists everywhere). Feedback welcome. https://ellierennie.medium.com/machine-politics-the-cultural-science-of-permissionless-systems-9e73da656a97

Essentially, culture makes groups, groups make knowledge (see Cultural Science) = validators are groupish and produce common knowledge. Knowledge is the currency of economies and politics (according to CS)

Currently writing a short essay about what it means for machines to have culture by observing #Etherum validators. This might be one of the weirdest things I’ve ever written. You can all hate me later if it gets published.
