Covenant Community Townhall #4
Welcome to the fourth gathering of the Covenant Community ✨
We're a community of humanistic-tech proliferators — builders, artists, and thinkers growing the field of human-aligned technology.
We're currently seeking early partners to contribute to The Covenant of Humanistic Technologies by helping draft the principles that guide human-aligned technology and contribute essays, technical work, illustrations, artistic interpretations, and applications of human.tech.
Agenda:
During our 4th Townhall, Jonathan Kung will introduce us to his essay recently submitted to the Covenant, and Joshua Bate will walk us through his project, DeSci World, and unravel cosmolocalism and decision-making in onchain orgs.
Jonathan is a co-founder of Evolution Labs, an adaptive governance R&D non-profit, with a focus on internet infrastructure and societal labs. So far, they've developed a DAO governance infrastructure that they're applying to a Science Publishing DAO, Arbitration DAO, and AI Gov DAO (DeSci, DeAI, DAO Gov). They also work with non-web3 tech like local first, etc.
Joshua is the founder of DeSci World. DeSci World supports all fields of science as an agnostic repository and champion of open-source, permissionless tooling for the advancement of knowledge. Joshua is preparing to launch in about 5 weeks!
We strongly recommend reading through the essay before this Townhall, so you can easily grasp the context of the discussion and participate in the thought exchange. You can find Jonathan's essay here - feel free to review and give comments directly, and bring up interesting topics during the meeting.
To join the Townhall, please read the Covenant, fill out the contributor form, and join the discussion on Signal.
