A publication on Handshake and the DWeb. Towards a New Internet.


Handshake, by the numbers


Towards a More Humane Internet

In considering the creation of a New Internet that’s more humane, that rejects manipulative social media algorithms and data surveillance, the answer lies not just in new technology but new culture.

Cryptonetworks like Handshake have a social layer. We are Handshake. And we can tell new stories of sovereignty, of dignity, of localism.

An excerpt from the most recent Epsilon Theory note, Being Human in a LARPing World:

Just like Alexander, we will cut through the knot by creating a new set of terms, external to the game we have been told to play, and in so doing we will solve the unsolvable-on-its-own-terms Forever War + Phony War of modern American politics.

Not with a sword, but with a shared spirit of human autonomy and dignity.

The cure … is not to be found in reform laws …, but in reform ideas around culture, ideas that create a new dimension of American society that rejects LARPing and LARPers alike.

What are these ideas? The ideas of being human.

The ideas of Make / Protect / Teach.
