Essay
Digital Democracy Has Never Been Tried
E-voting, online petitions, digital town halls — we digitized the interface of 18th-century democracy but not the mechanism. True digital democracy requires natively digital coordination primitives. Quadratic voting, liquid democracy, futarchy — none have been tried at national scale.
Essay
Regenerative Accelerationism Has Never Been Tried
The accelerationist debate has been captured by Silicon Valley's frame — more compute, more growth, more GDP. But what if we accelerated regeneration instead of extraction? r/acc requires bioregional infrastructure, credibly neutral substrates, and coordination primitives that didn't exist until now.
Essay
Regenerative Post-Capitalism Has Never Been Tried
Every attempt to fix capitalism has worked within its extractive logic. ESG, carbon credits, impact investing — capitalism with adjectives. True regenerative post-capitalism requires new coordination primitives. For the first time, crypto makes it possible.
