We would like to inform everyone that we are in no way associated with @icphub_KE or @_ChamaDAO
Although they are using our name, possibly from a lack of creativity, the hackathon participants from @ETHSafari are in no way related to our regenerative research and projects.

On the occasion of @willszal's upcoming talk, I found myself revisiting his piece on 𝑯𝙮𝒑𝙚𝒓𝙗𝒆𝙞𝒏𝙜𝒔 ( https://t.co/NTzdko3Bwi ), living correlates to Timothy Morton's hyperobjects. It's a hugely important companion/ elaboration of the Local DAO Summer & Ethereum Localism question (and here's why I think so)

Morton's hyperobjects are entities that are too big in time or space for humans to directly cognate - climate change is the famous example - and the discourse around them has often been one of dread and paralysis (climate change being the ultimate "hyperobject"). How do we get out of ourselves in order to see these giants?

Technologists have long known that perspective bias can trap builders into essentializing an engineering problem that could be solved with a different scale, language, frame - call it ontological pragmatism, a willingness to shift your foundational assumptions about a system in order to discover new ways for things to assemble & work together.

Thinking about rivers, Will asks: "What kind of language might we use to express the relationship between the human scale and a being so colossal and mysterious as to be almost beyond our comprehension?" and in doing so asserts the need to creatively iterate on how we frame reality, in a way that honor (as we called it in "What is Ethereum Localism) "the mysterious pragmatism of the terrain."

We 𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 ( https://t.co/Tri4CdKVrC ) know that the material universe is an open ended superobject- its ground character is fundamentally plural. Building for that shifting ground is an infinite game; it requires an agile, pirate empiricism and a perpetual curiosity and unsettling ( @_newcubes_ "undualing") of the categories of subjects and objects. Not to achieve truth, but to achieve enough truth to 𝒃𝙪𝒊𝙡𝒅.

For me, the phrase "Local DAO" captures this open materialism perfectly:

𝑳𝙤𝒄𝙖𝒍: the commitment to integrate with & attempt to see the material conditions at hand, before your eyes, without delusion.

𝑫𝘼𝑶: the recognition that that seeing is an open ended and creative project - a social project - requiring games of extended cognition and intersubjective perception - and the assertion of the creative autonomy to organize those intersubjective games without appeal to any one regime's closed vision of what beings and objects are and can be.

To correlate with the dynamic hyperobjects & hyperbeings that animate our world, that make up the crises and ethical stakes of our era, we are going to need to have an ontological shift about how we think of our selves. It is one that entities like @regenfoundation and @_terra0, @block_science @informalinc @opencivics are far along in...
💥A machinic point ( @vengist) between the practical and the imaginal. 💥

[Chama DAO @ChamaDAO_]

A great first step to get our communities involved in the digital economy. On-boarding chamas and getting them to understand the blockchain will be so much easier with this. Hongera! Asante!

#IndigenousPeoplesDay
80% of the world’s biodiversity is in Indigenous territories, but the ppl looking after nature are often attacked & abused. As for #UncontactedTribes, their survival's at risk if their lands aren’t protected from invasion.

[ReFi Kenya @ReFiKenya]

Don't miss #ReFiKenya2023! Following last year's success, this 3-day event in Kenya from September 13-15 will cover topics like #ReFi, regenerative farming, #web3 technologies, and more. Stay tuned for updates. #Kenya #ReFiKenya

[Regen Foundation @RegenFdn]

The assumption that novel models of ownership, payment, credit, and value will arise from the logic of the global north, or SV is utterly confused. Emerging ethical currencies will largely be built on what grassroots communities are already doing ... Particularly Kenya

[Chama DAO @ChamaDAO_]

Back in Watamu for some more #governance research by the MCCC chama.

[Regen Foundation @RegenFdn]

Not if, but when, you grow numb from being shilled #publicgoods in web3, you can always join and steward #commons.

We think using Web3 to nurture a new renaissance of eco-digital #commons will be completely radical.

👇public goods and commons aren't the same thing👇
