Up the Graph: Ideas and technology that will be everywhere in 2 years

In this episode, Vance Crowe shares a talk delivered at the American Farm Bureau Fusion Conference, focusing on the rapid integration of technology in agriculture and society. Vance delves into the concept of 'up the graph,' explaining how ideas and technologies spread and become commonplace. Drawing from his experience at Monsanto, he discusses the importance of engaging with emerging technologies early to leverage their potential before they become mainstream. He also highlight the role of AI in transforming policy analysis, communication, and legislative drafting, emphasizing its inevitable ubiquity in the near future.

Additionally, Vance explores the potential of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network in revolutionizing financial transactions for farmers, particularly in reducing transaction fees and enabling direct-to-consumer sales. He introduce the concept of value for value in podcasting and other creative industries, and discuss the emerging decentralized social media platform, Nostr, which offers an alternative to traditional platforms by allowing users to retain their audience across different services. Throughout the talk, Vance encourages listeners to engage with these technologies through experimentation and play, to better understand and harness their capabilities.
