Every time I encountered someone pitching a DAO or a Blockchain to an organization, they specifically bundled several things together to make them indistinguishable - the culture with the technology, the way a community is organized with the tools they use. With that, there fewer footholds for any kind of question, insight into what is really happening.

This is what I mean by saying that the technology is transparent and it's not always a good thing, because it makes us unable to discuss it.

@alxd @jmeowmeow I found /Ministry/ somewhat disappointing, but I interpreted it rather differently: it undercut itself, but not as parody, more as tragedy.

I take it that he thinks the bottom-up communal approach you approve of in the imaginary /Sustainability/ *won’t work*. You might argue that he’s wrong to assume it would fail, but that’s a different argument than the one you’re making. (1/7)

@alxd I just can’t take a book seriously which proposes central bankers and cryptocurrency as the sovereign solution to our troubles, you know?

@alxd thank you! I've had so many people recommend this to me and never picked it up. Now I'm wondering whether they were recommending to dissuade my worldview or whether they are so far removed from thoughts of the future they can't tell the difference.

@alxd This is madly beautiful, can't believe what IA is capable of these days.
