Technologist, futurist, entrepreneur, economist, Sacred Capital
pospi is a rampant idealist by fate; distributed systems engineer by trade; accidental economist and sociologist; and recovering technologist, futurist and entrepreneur. After attempting to make social media meaningful at an early age, co-launching a startup to "fix charity" and designing economic systems to "solve climate change" with blockchain; they have finally arrived at the only conclusions possible. That the advances afforded by technological systems have mostly only ever caused vast harms to many, that entrepreneurial framings tied into market-based solutionism and the logics of individualism ultimately corrupt efforts toward change, and that the implied power dynamics of aid relations and vaunted intellectual status of individuals in STEM fields often acts against the interests of those we aim to help.
This unlearning and relearning compelled pospi to seek perspective outside of the tech industry's bubble and in recent years they have been lucky to find themselves at home alongside sociologists, gender theorists, cultural anthropologists, Ghandian ethicists and community psychologists within the Holochain ecosystem and in Indigenous academic and entrepreneurial circles. They are currently engaged in creating software and governance tools in service to community autonomy, resilience and socio-economic empowerment; and have begun exploring intersections between data, algorithmic, economic and Indigenous sovereignty movements.
