- started programming at nine
  - silicon jungle: a play on [[concrete jungle]] at the time of the internet
- video game developer for years
  - indie vs mobile was the fork in the road
  - did [[indie]]
- left the industry, did [[crypto]] for a while
- worked on a [[marketplace]] for the last year, gave notice one month ago
- into social media and interoperability now
  - [[interoperable social space]]
  - permission model like a Drive
  - UI like a [[facebook group]]
  - but can be seen as a container of resources

- a future we want to live in:
  - one that tries to align how we are as humans and technology
  - more solarpunk than cyberpunk
- [[flancia]] started as a utopia, but
  - "my utopia is your dystopia"
  - precisely
- tribes -> countries -> globalization
  - [[the expanding circle]]
  - individuals have ammassed too much power due to [[anti disintermediation]]
    - [[counter anti disintermediation]]
  - [[interoperability]] seems key
- [[moderators]] or a [[democractic approach]]?
  - [[liquid democracy]]/[[heterarchies]] in moderation?
- venues to [[interoperability]]
  - [[adversarial interoperability]]

- core mvp of what James is trying to build:
  - going to look a lot like a facebook group, a feed of posts
    - do you know of [[ctzn]] / [[hypercore]]?
  - tied to that, a [[resource hub]] which lets it interop with a bunch of services. each community chooses which services it hooks up with
    - group membership propragates to other services as possible
- I think we're probably both trying to build an [[interlay]]?
- the working name for James's project is [[spaces]] but that probably won't work
