Expanding on what Jo had to say here - we've come to focus on our national politics, which are as toxic, divisive and dysfunctional as they've been in a generation or two, if not longer. Meanwhile, a lot of important and impactful work on the local level is being neglected, ignored or not properly acknowledged. It can be easy to despair when your team takes a big loss at the federal level, but the best salve could be simply moving on and getting involved in your neighborhood, school or wherever. You'll probably find people with different points of view can still respect and work with each other. And even if that's not the case, you've a good chance of being able to repair that relationship compared to trying to do so arguing with strangers on the other side of the political divide through social media. Touch grass, shake hands and figure out how to get things built together again. https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/everyday-is-election-day

Had a great time talking life off-grid and a whole lot about decentralization (with a nod to Network States as well) on the Hotel Bar Sessions podcast with three practicing philosophers. But there was one question I didn't answer too well that touches all of the above, so hear it is - https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/is-this-life-about-community-or-independence

In war we focus on the human cost, and generally this is the right approach, but we need not ignore all other impacts. While we tally casualties and argue, another toll is mounting. My wife looked into some of the data of the environmental costs. https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/the-environmental-impacts-of-war

I think decentralization is actually something a lot of people understand intuitively, but we don't have common language to express. (1/3) https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/the-story-of-decentralization

Journalists like to think of ourselves as writing the first draft of history. In the internet age, this is true, but in a sense we wish it wasn’t. Like many other first drafts, our work ultimately gets thrown away, burned or otherwise deleted. 1/x

It's a long path to wind up with a bunch of weirdos off-grid in the desert. My wife walked the walk. https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/my-life-in-environmental-movements?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Back from ETHDenver and it was really great to meet a number of you briefly, either at the Network States event, Edge City, the Cabin workshop or that hot tub party in north Denver. If we have a conversation to continue, please reach out, especially those of you who never stopped building through the last two years...

Back from ETHDenver and energized! Latest JournoDAO town hall is today at 11 AM PT on Zoom. Will talk a bit about building new primitives that could establish a base layer for more decentralized journalism that leans into transparency, immutability and censorship resistance. DC for the link.
