Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We have recently participated and spoke at DGOV Council in Berlin, an event that explored new principles of human-centric scalable governance. The experience inspired us to think more deeply about distributed governance, the emergence of collective intelligence, anti-fragility and sovereignty. In this episode we are discussing what kind of collective system is possible in the future and how to manage the diversity of values in such system.

• The definition of collective intelligence
• The difference between a decentralized and distributed governance
• How ideological frameworks corrupt personal sovereignty on every level
• Why we need a system world view and flexible frameworks to think about the society
• Internet meme tribes as a form of fulfilling the need to belong to a community
• How to learn to have a conversation with someone with different values
