Episode notes
Holochain Mimics Living Systems
- Holochain is designed as a biomimicry tool inspired by living systems and flow-centric economies.
- It views currencies as flows rather than tokens, focusing on making economic incentives visible and life-affirming.
Money as Invisible Architecture
- Current monetary systems are based on scarcity and debt, producing greed and extraction.
- Invisible architectures like money shape social outcomes but remain unseen due to lack of training to recognize them.
Balanced Decentralization Philosophy
- True decentralization requires visibility of social agreements and accountability.
- Holochain is agent-centric, empowering individuals with sovereignty and collective accountability, balancing 'get mine' with 'grow ours.'
