more brain droppings from ppl this morning:
Different workstreams have different ways they translate goals into outcomes into work and back again. It would be neat to show & tell + cross pollinate them.
ImpactDAO Cartographry handbook could be a solid follow up to the green pill book. Green Pill book = vision. ImpactDAO Map = a list of ImpactDAOs + what impact they’re having = a tangible complement to the vision book.
There s a sense of “ok were all on this ship togoether, but where is the ship going?” coming out of the retreat and our 2022 goals. Would be cool to see roadmapping sessions done across the DAO to continue the momentum + build a syntheisis.
As opposed to a geth client, which can hold all of the same state as other geth clients, each “node” in a DAO has different skills, ambitions, time constraints, communication styles, history, etc. Because of this, its just very hard (costly)? to decentralize (make antifragile) things we work on.
A great commentary on this came out of our convos this morning. Geth has light speed sync, Humans have mirror neurons, spindle neurals, and shared culture.
The hyptothesis is that spending time togethr means syncing our nervous systems, creating learning, culture, and shared psycological safety. A place where we can be honest and tell each other the truth. The core nugget here is if we take the time to get to know each other and trust each other, it will pay massive dividends.
There was some talk about the dark side of coordination. We should explore the attributes of things like wars, cults, corporations + where they went wrong. (I have a sense that it has to do with coercion & lack of consent).
There was some great discussion on indivdiualism and collectivism - specifically the nationalist arbitrage game that corporations have been playing in order to not pay their taxes in any specific jurisdiction. If there was a global coordination substrate for funding public goods, would they contribute to that?
There was some talk about whether top down authoritarian societies create a pushing back by people reflexively or not.
We discussed the tradeoffs of framing the Gitcoin mission around public goods or human thriving. Perhaps we should revisit our mission & values every 6 months to make sure they stay current to our evolving values?
We discussed how to do benefits like workers comip and maternity leave in a DAO native era. This is not just theoretical for GitcoinDAO, and maybe interesting ideas were bubbling up.
