Episode notes
Interobjective Realities
- Blockchains add a new dimension to digital objects, moving from intersubjective to interobjective realities.
- These realities, though digital, have real consequences and increasing objectivity, similar to how we perceive Mars.
Dark Forest Example
- Dark Forest, an on-chain strategy game, showcased the potential of Ethereum as a universe simulator.
- It featured an infinitely procedurally generated map revealed through proof-of-work, mimicking real-world exploration.
Post Dark Forest Challenges
- Dark Forest's success was hard to replicate due to infrastructure limitations and lack of tooling.
- Ethereum development then resembled building on bare metal, making iteration and complex app development difficult.
