I'll post episode one as soon as Apple and Spotify let us out of podcast feed submission purgatory! 💀😬
The topic is complex but this episode definitely isn’t. Elena breaks it down with her characteristic humor, laying the groundwork for the rest of the season by showing why privacy is the pragmatic choice – not just for individuals, but also for democracy, business, and society.
Have I been silent? Guilty. Have I been busy? So guilty I'm never getting parole. Peep what we've been working on over at @agency.bsky.social, and give us a follow so you don't miss when the feed drops. For our first episode, Elena Nadolinski of IronFish talks all things ZK.
12/ If this thread resonates, there’s an entire season of podcast episodes like it coming this summer. Please RT so that others can find out about what we’re building at @agency.bsky.social.
11/ We hope you'll come away with a holistic and interdisciplinary appreciation of privacy's foundational role in defending neural sovereignty, cognitive consent, and agency amid exponential technology. Everything is still under wraps, but follow @agency.bsky.social to stay informed.
10/ Together with our guests, my co-host @chadfowler.bsky.social and I approach privacy through a "cross-functional" looking glass. We explore the intersection of privacy and AI, jurisprudence, finance, regulations, cryptography, philosophy, democracy, and national security.
9/ Our first public artifact, The Privacy Podcast, will be released this summer, exploring why privacy forms the bedrock of a free, healthy, and functional society.
8/ This is a gap I hope want to bridge with the hush-hush work I've been doing at @agency.bsky.social, an off-the-record discourse community of founders, investors, and operators working at the intersection of privacy, crypto, and ethics.
7/ Worse, there are few wise teachers in the space because crypto doesn’t like “boomers” and “boomers” act dismissive and disengaged instead of curious and accountable.
6/ It's galling to see the persistent pull of the panopticon in crypto. But I understand it: Crypto builders are 20 years old, have the attention span of horny teenagers, and zero historical memory because they’re, well, 20.
