In this MetaView episode, peth talked to Rob Morris; a metamodernist, a game b player &  a serial entrepreneur since the dotcom era - currently running FunDAOmental & Prismatik as well as advising & investing in several other projects along the way. His passion for technology and people, cooperative coordination and the metacrisis led to a deep conversation on these topics & the role that technology plays for humanity to move towards more positive outcomes.

“At a very high level I think that the way that humans get things done reflects what's advantageous in the environment that we find ourselves in and also in a broad sense reflects a gradual evolution of the perspectives that we collectively hold and how we approach things”, he says. 


Some of the topics:

  • Hierarchical coordination vs alignment based coordination

  • Coordination by control vs Coordination by alignment

  • SaaS software vs protocol style organizations

  • Network effect vs protectionism and monopoly, economy of scale

  • Coordination tension
