The Blockchain Socialist Art, Weed, and Blockchain feat. Chibu Ichiban from afuturemodern
This week I spoke to Chibu Ichiban, a founding member of afuturemodern, a network of coops delivering liberation tech to the masses through art, culture, and basic services. Their mission is to drive mass adoption of humanity's most radical innovations by shaping them for society's most marginalized and revolutionary communities. They leverage art, culture, service, social justice, and technology such as blockchain and artificial intelligence to the masses for the liberation of everyone, not just the few.
In the interview we talk about how weed can instigate revolution if it was legalized equitably, getting as much information on landlords as they ask of us, and how blockchain gives artists more ownership to their work If you're interested in becoming a part of the cooperative, be sure to reach out to Chibu on social media.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
