Was literally just describing this to a friend today. It feels like socializing by osmosis

Sharing Club Case Studies I wrote brief case studies* of organizations relevant for designing economic mechanisms around ownership of decentralized infrastructure. The first published today relates to how cooperatives oversaw the roll out of electricity to rural areas in the US. *The case studies are brief, so if you're interested in one, be sure to follow the footnotes for more in-depth learning.

Thanks for actually reading haha, will publish a cleaned up version soon. Agreed with the thought we need more bottom efforts, but get the sense it's a bottom effort + ____?____. Blank that allows grassroots efforts to scale (read as: coordinate better) and scale horizontally better.

Open source software has historically only gotten 5% of venture funding, but has created over $2,000 of value for every $1 invested!!! Insane ROI. Don’t sleep on open source. https://www.hbs.edu/ris/Publication%20Files/24-038_51f8444f-502c-4139-8bf2-56eb4b65c58a.pdf#page=31.22

interestingly, institutions and bureaucracies are the best way to group sense-make now. Not sure if they'll hold up without some kind of refactor in the future, but the breaking them down is also going to a have an affect on how we understand ourselves and relate to each other. Rules are a collective sensemaking mechanism.

This is what it's like to experience Whitehead's theory of advancement unfolding in realtime. Just an intuition, but I think this is much more than just increased dopamine and viral loads, might just be a pre-condition for increased coordination ability. If we're relying on technology to "think for us," maybe our individual cognitive abilities are declining from lack of exercise. But what if this means our collective capabilities are advancing in the long run? https://x.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1900537267308937416

I love how presenting the two extreme tails in future scenarios get people thinking about the more nuanced middle pathways. Feels like an inherently human trait to reject absolutes that needs to be leveraged more

I'm a strong believer that history repeats itself, but with new tools each cycle. Lots to bridge between the governance systems of the hanseatic league and all the little pieces of a new computer<>economy we're all trying to build over here: https://t.co/mzsBvVvt3f

Seems like half the internet is going to be straight markdown, exposed semantic metadata & standardized APIs optimized specifically for agent eyes. And the other half beautifully-designed interfaces, made with intention, purely for weird and delightful human experiences.

waiting for you to drop your food blog. Also sidenote: you would love Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman. Each episode's food spot is a real place in Japan
