Session 3
These sessions keep getting more fascinating. Among other things, we talked about a code of ethics for artists and collectors, an endoskeleton of governance, so to speak, and possible templates for decision making called playbooks as opposed to handbooks. Token engineering is social engineering so systems guide behavior. For the Invisible Economy, the cultivation of experience is important. We talked about separating a governance token and the value flows, and about the doctrine of double effect, where the same action can have two different outcomes. Take a look:
Here are some thoughts that were shared in the written chat:
Marielle: his conversation brings to mind the doctrine of double effect and the role of a code of professional ethics (in medicine).
Sebnem: For token engineering, engineering ethics does come up all the time… i.e. cyber-civic engineering… would love to continue, especially if there is also a DADA case, let’s take this up…
stewardship of art/knowledge
Marielle: but medicine is both an art and a science like very classical “art of medicine”.
James Simbouras: and art as medicine :)
Marielle: speaking as a surgeon it is very real, and yes James!
James: Exactly :) We need to evolve and adapt to ever-changing environments but also protect our core values and philosophy.
Sebnem: 2 governance questions that came up from the token model:
1) decision which NFTs to showcase 2) which are for sale/not for sale
James S:
I'm going to leave you with a quote that you might enjoy: “I keep reminding myself that the root of the word radical is the word “root”. Grassroots then means not only propagation — spreading the word — but is based on the fact that each blade of grass has its own roots. Power means to be able — the ability to act vigorously with “strength, authority, might, control, spirit, divinity. And the word “craft” comes from Middle English and means strength and power, which later became “skill”.
“Neither the word “art” nor the word “culture” comes from cultivation or growth. An artist can function like a lazy gardener who cuts off the weeds as a temporary holding action. Or s/he can go under the surface to the causes. Social change can happen when you tear things up by the roots, or — to collage metaphors — when you go back to the roots and distinguish the weeds from the blossoms and vegetables..”
And on that note, see you in two weeks!
