--- ###### tags: `Community Call` --- # Community Call #003 Drafted October 18, 2022 ## Two Hemispheres ### Right Hemisphere - Pluriversal Manifesto - Define the pluriverse in relation to other manifestations - Specifically: Ethereum, Solarpunk, Regen, and the Greenpill meme - Pluriversal Article Series - Deep dive exploration to provide working definitions for: - Solar/Lunar-punk - Plurality, pluriversality, ontological design - The informed aesthetics of the pluriverse - Master/Apprentice Workshops - As a practice of existential aikido - To tighten and stengthen internal alignment while preserving the bandwidth of the community - Provide a generative critique format to incubate and accelerate new ideas ### Left Hemisphere - Regen DAO Treasury Management Model - Towards a pluriversal UBI structure - Alleviates the pressures of delivering products - Allows us to focus on myth weaving - Regen NFT Model - A mechanic for adding utility to the Greenpill pledge - Towards defining roles, separating voyeurs from contributors and benefactors - The ~~Greatest~~ LARP Reboot - Provides a hinge between worlds/hemispheres - Aligns loss leaders and core products - Points towards a much greater potential ### Central Regions - Prioritized Backlog of Tasks - Allowing community to easily identify how they might contribute - Formation of a Core Team - Specialists for each of these areas - Attract funding through highly nuanced strategy - Reach escape velocity to next phase of ideation and development --- ## Left Hemisphere ### Manifesto - Declaration of Vision & Values - Puts a stake in the ground - Defines a position - Defines key words: pluriverse/plurality, solar/lunar/terra-punk, etc. - Identify Heros - References that align or distinguish us from other movements - Declaration of Intent - Theory and practice of an emergent strategy - Defines success metrics ### Article Series - [KO has provided us with the prompt](https://youtu.be/AF2B6SsjoDQ) - This community is positioned to respond. We have the responsibility to do so! - We need to go deeper and wider, together. - Rough outline: - Historical overview of the artistic avant-garde as the foundation of aesthetic and intellectual rebellion - Special focus on propaganda and appropriation - Historical overview of technological subterfuge, cryptography, hackers, aesthetics, and correlation to wider cultural phenomena - Special focus on cyberpunk > cypherpunk > contemporary cybernetic attitudes - Historical overview of utopian sub-cultural ideologies across the disciplines in the 20th century - Special focus on architecture, planned communities, technological/cybernetic visions - Moves towards two outlets: - Advancing the diversity of topics on KO's Greenpill podcast - Advancing the depth of inquiry in TW's Death articles - Supplementing the internal dialogue with firm historical research ### Master-Apprentice Workshops - Practical need: ensure high quality & caliber of output - Like pre-industrial apprenticeship: maximizes the uniqueness of the maker - Action-oriented, skillful production - Philosophical need: begin with the individual before scaling to the WORLD - Each scale requires a unique orientation accompanied by a unique language - Balances theoretical with the practical - Cultivates the **Handmind* described by Ursula Le Guin in ACH - Facillitates focused 1:1 critique of internal process that flows both ways - Empowers individual contributors with the regen strategies illustrated below --- ## Right Hemisphere ### Regen DAO Treasury Strategy - Core idea: **let's create a mechanism that takes money off the table by creating a regenerative UBI for contributors** - Straightforward diversification scheme that adapts to shifting market volatility: - Paranoid Bear: stable position in RAI - LP'd (RAI/DAI) to earn ~7.5% yields - Comfy Crab: lateral position - LP'd (RAI/ETH) to earn ~8.21% yields - LP'd (GTC/ETG) to earn ~ 57% - YOLO Bull: high risk high yield - Tight LP positions (GTC/ETH, etc) to earn 200%+ - Work with devs to automate positions at programmed safety thresholds - For example: - We raise $6m and earn an average of 10% - Can support a 5 person skilled team fulltime at $120k/year each - Variations of the model can be tested & dogfooded for different scales of our community here - Illustrated in the Regen NFT idea ### Regen NFT Strategy - [Overview of strategy is laid out here](https://hackmd.io/@pluriverse/ByoQdkImo) - TL;DR = - NFTs are a commitment to follow through with the [Greenpill pledge](https://greenpill.party/) - Built on top of the treasury management schema - Towards a recipe for a regen stack that can be adapted for sub-DAO structure - Empowers future projects to spin off and retain autonomy - Pilot = Potlatch - Symbolizes a reorientation towards wealth, away from holding and towards **giving** - Begins to diversify the social layer of our regen stack - Leading to role definition for our pluriversal LARP ### Pluriversal LARP - Combines the elements of the regen stack with the ideological and creative lorecrafting. - Not so much a *religion* as an **ontological design studio**. - Explores the tension of transitioning from oral to written traditions. - Presents a taxonomic cosmogony of narrative styles (inspired by UKLG's ACH): - Jokes - Songs and dances of daily life and deep ritual - Children's games - Ethnographic document - Short and long stories - Cautionary tales - Hearth stories - Matrix songs that defy writing - This is the north star of the pluriverse: *To create and nurture new worlds!* - The alternative to Zuck's meta is immersive pluri. Immersion is the success metric. --- ### Final Thoughts - All of the discovery research should be compiled into a backlog of tasks. - Task assignment should be based on specific competencies, TBD by the formation of a core team.
