Shadows of the Polycrisis: Dark Personalities, Malignant Norms, and the Regeneration of Governance

​How have the loss of ancient social safeguards allowed sociopathic values to spiral into today’s polycrisis: climate breakdown, political upheaval, and soaring inequality?

Join us for a deep‑dive into the dark forces shaping our world and the need for sociotechnical tools that can turn the tide.

Bridging theory and practice, knowledge ecologist  Christina Bowen will bring personality researcher Sharon Albuerne into conversation with Magenta Light, the architect behind Bloom Network’s cutting‑edge governance system, to reveal how federated DAOs, rigorous member screening, quadratic voting, and restorative‑justice rituals actively block the same power‑abuse dynamics that fuel the polycrisis. We'll explore together how these decentralized strategies can be scaled into social immune systems to help build resilient, regenerative groups and societies.

Unpack real‑world case studies where Bloom’s protocols have already intercepted sociopathic influence and actively blocked the same power‑abuse dynamics that fuel the polycrisis. Gain insights from Sharon's research on the theory behind these dark patterns from perspectives across cognitive science, sociology, anthopolgy, and more.

​If you’re passionate about building regenerative institutions and want a front‑row seat to the ideas that could redefine collective governance, you won’t want to miss this interview.
