    Episode 1: @extradeadjcb

    Today, we are publishing our first episode of the Pluribus Podcast! Our first guest is a good friend and sponsor, @extradeadjcb, who is the founder of exitgroup.us, and who writes the newsletter:Bennett's Phylactery.In this episode we discuss: * The story of Dr. Bennett’s cancellation as a motivation for founding the EXIT group in terms of technical and social support. * How and why a general “opposition to cancel culture” is not a coherent ethic by which groups can coordinate. * The ongoing process of forming “decentralized network unions” around a One Commandment as per Balaji Srinivasan’s Network State. * Different interactive mechanisms for creating and propagating a sustainable culture: both memetically – via art & literature – and genetically. * Ways for projects like Pluribus and EXIT to work together, as well as the rate limitations on such projects being deployed at scale. Enjoy! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit becomepluribus.substack.com
