We also talk about the influence of technology and social media on our news consumption and how that influences the opinions we form and, ultimately, how we end up voting. Plus a healthy amount of tangential chatter including a whirlwind introduction to the 5 levels of mentalization and the biological foundations of neuroscience (keep up people!), and one bus-related idea for how to choose the next framework for the Umbraco backoffice!

RadicalxChange ReplayedQuadratic Funding in Ethereum | Vitalik Buterin Interviewed by Pia ManciniThe Ethereum ecosystem has been an excellent initial testbed for quadratic funding, through the Gitcoin Grants project, which has directed over a million dollars of funding to Ethereum projects over five rounds in 2019 and 2020.
