Decentralized Society | Green Pill #15
On May 10, 2022, the article "Decentralized Society: Finding Web3's Soul" was published by Glen Weyl, Puja Ohlhaver, and Vitalik Buterin.
In this episode, guest host Leon Erichsen of Radicalxchange goes down the rabbit hole of Decentralized Society—or DeSoc—with Glen and Puja .
Taking a broad view of the crypto movement's largest challenges, we hope to solve human coordination by the mutual optimization of pluralism and local control, powered by novel mechanisms.
Take the Green Pill, anon.
