    Joining the podcast today is Nadia Asparouhova, a thought leader in the Summer of Protocols Research Program. She wrote a paper entitled “Dangerous Protocols”, which is demystified on this podcast.

Paige AND ,

GreenPilled open source software

Super duper episode on open source software hosted by Owocki featuring tea.xyz. Only software engineers could offer such insightful questions and responses.

This paradox is genuinely so much more pressing than is generally acknowledged. On the one hand you have trillion $ big tech companies sitting on top of oss packages, and on the other you have OSS devs struggling for equitable compensation ( in many cases any compensation whatsoever). If our municipal infrastructures had this same kind of architecture, cities would collapse in a day! Great points made here. Let’s engineer a more sustainable solution/system. What about a big tech tax earmarked specifically for oss devs based on how many oss packages the big techer built their offerings on? Just a thought.
Keep up the good work, Team Green Pill !

Fantastic Pod

Highly recommend to anyone going down the Web3 / DAO rabbit hole. Owocki is one of the stronger and genuine thought leaders we have and when you couple that with his ability to draw top talent to the pod, you get a recipe for quality content.

Finally a show about regenerative economics

Really grateful for the deep thought and discussion about regenerative economics and future society. Really brilliant guests and strong interviewing. I daresay this show fills the most important niche in the space.
