The heterodox politics of the internet of blockchains and sustainability existentialism
Manage episode 304787129 series 2650194
For this week's episode I spoke with Ethan Buchman (@buchmanster), the founder of Cosmos and the CEO of Informal Systems, a worker-owned cooperative helping build the infrastructure of the Cosmos Network. Cosmos is a particular blockchain with the goal of creating the internet of blockchains by creating a layer that facilitates interoperability between different blockchains.
During the interview we talk about Ethan's own heterodox political views, synthesizing the works of the Austrian school and Karl Polanyi among others for creating what he calls "sustainability existentialism." We also talk about how these politics influenced the creation of Cosmos, his fears of the current state of the crypto ecosystem, and the difference between DeFi degens and regens.
Here are some more sources to learn more about Ethan's heterodox political views:
