Simple Call and Response Prompting for web3

Over the past few years, I've done a lot of prompt-based group writing experimentation. The general idea is: a well-crafted prompt gets the gears of the mind turning, which gets us thinking, and facilitates our ability to produce interesting written responses. The concept of prompting comes from a latin linguistic

A Social Tech Perspective of web3

In April, 2022, I gave a talk to a Master of Science in Finance class at the Loyola University Chicago where a close friend is an adjunct professor. The theme of the class was crypto, and my friend thought I'd round-out the conversation. Reasonably, majority of the class was spent

Web3 is Social Tech

As a clinically trained social worker building web3 software tools to improve human relationships, connecting the dots of how I got here is a worthy endeavor. Partly a walk down memory lane, and partly a brief history of networked software tooling, I hope this post can convey my excitement for

Foray into Collective Governance

Dave and I were reflecting on the buzz around DAO governance and low voter turnout. This came up, in part, after reading about CabinDAO's first proposal receiving ~15% member engagement (1). While there's some sensible thinking and modeling out there that validate this lower-level engagement (2), we got to thinking

Buzzard Squad As Cell

Last night I started drafting up my thoughts for what we're [[Buzzard]] doing with all of the moving pieces, and things are feeling way more cell-like than anything else. We've got ideas for a bunch of different types of entities within Buzzard and they all behave differently, and have different

Friendship Game Design - Summary + Notes

I recently watched a talk from the Game Developers Conference in 2018, and the title says it all: "Game Design Patterns for Building Friendships". The speaker (Daniel Cook, Chief Creative Office of Spry Fox) is a game designer with a focus on making happiness. His talk hits on meaningful relationships,

Interhackt Designathon: Constellations Case Study

Conrad and I set out to build a feasible system for exploring non-linear discussion that optimizes for insights. Perhaps more simply: a chat app that allows for more natural branching conversations. What might chat look like if we could cruise around branching conversations for navigation, something more interconnected, multidimensional, topical?

We-Space

The necessary components of creating a We are: ❶ 2+ people ❷ Trust ❸ Some kind of shared understanding, or interest ❹ Open communications ❺ A sense of play, freedom, room to roam ❻ A curiosity about yourself and others ❼ A growth mindset, strong beliefs held loosely These components allow for a style of relating to

The Intersection of Tech with Government, Politics, and Media

I’ve been thinking about the exosystem ring of ecological theory [https://scoop.substack.com/p/11-life-with-technology], which includes major systems that we interact with but don’t have control over. These large systems have direct influence and impact in our lives, and include: the tax, health care, and governmental

Tech and Relationships

Last week, I introduced ecological theory as a framework for exploring our relationships with technology [https://scoop.substack.com/p/11-life-with-technology]. This week, I’ll take a closer look at the micro- and mesosystems which are the closest to us and have the most impact on our lives. While I
