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
