In this episode of FIAT LUX, we chat with Wastelander from CultDAO, delving into their philosophy and values, the push for decentralized power, and how philosophy intersects with technology in the crypto space. We touch on LunarPunk, SolarPunk, anonymity in decentralized communities, and CultDAO's tokenomics. Mental health's link to decentralization is explored, stressing the need for internalizing practices rather than relying solely on external solutions. We also discuss valid responses to life's challenges, mindfulness, and the parallels between crypto and consciousness. We conclude the conversation with concepts like morphic resonance and distributed consciousness, alongside a discussion on ego, self-awareness, and the impact of philosophy on personal growth.
