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?
