That’s very interesting. I have been thinking recently about personal curation algorithms. The ‘purely chronological’ paradigm is overhyped I think, as a reaction to the big silos’ abuse of curation algorithms.

That looked very intriguing – I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it.
Using speculative fiction as a means for exploring alternative economies, and then engaging economists with it as a reality check, would make for some great conversations.
I enjoyed Four Futures by Peter Frase as something that looked at the overlap of sci-fi and possible economic futures.
Mind a bit blown by an intro to the ideas in Caliban and the Witch.
Really enjoyed this episode, thanks both. Loads of great talking points.
