I saw a video from Vinay Gupta, a member of the original Ethereum design team. He describes the emotional & psychological reasons for its creation & its impact on the world. https://vimeo.com/161183966.

He suggests Technologists are building a new world because they do not understand the old one.  He references a speech from 1959, CP Snow’s Two Cultures, which asked if there was a divide between the Humanities and Science.

From your coverage of the crypto space how do you see the different cultural tribes behaving, are technologists & humanities cooperating or not talking?

What about Defi vs Wall Street vs Memers?

Are there Anthropologists covering this space, if so what& where are they talking about it?

If coiners want to create a new world/coin city will they ask people from the Humanities to guide their design choices or do they want to live in a cyberpunk future?

I recall a recent tweet

“Author: Don’t build the terrible thing, a warning to history.

Silicon Valley: At last we have built the terrible thing,described in the classic novel “Don’t build the terrible thing.” 

Finally do the price highs of crypto exist in a world without ultra-low interest rates? 

Thank you for kind attention.
