Uncommons (Previous GreenPill CN)

A public sphere where a collective of Public Goods Builders explores Crypto Thoughts together.

What is Public Sphere?
The concept of the Public Sphere, originating from the German term ‘Öffentlichkeit’, embodies notions of openness and transparency. While not originally coined by Jürgen Habermas, his seminal work “The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere” is regarded as the authoritative genesis of Public Sphere theory, embedding it as a universal concept in European political discourse. In his work, Habermas equates the public sphere with publicness, defining it as “a realm in our social life where public opinion can be formed.” He further describes it as “a domain where individuals, assembled into a public body, challenge the controlled public realm exerted by public authorities, creating a space for discourse on issues like commodity exchange and social labor, which are fundamentally private but retain a public character.”

What is Public Goods?
Public goods are characterized by their non-competitive and non-exclusionary nature, allowing unrestricted access to all. In the realm of Web3, the significance of public goods is paramount. These include clean air, water, libraries, and even the internet and open-source software. Their hallmark is universal accessibility, where one person’s use does not detrimentally affect another’s.

What is Crypto Toughts?
The Web3.0 landscape is rife with decentralized politico-economic movements, exploring grand visions like public goods, sovereign individuals, UBI, network states, creator economies, Ostrom’s school of public choice, radical markets, Harberger taxes, and more. At Uncommons, we aspire to foster a community of internet citizens who are intrigued by radical ‘crypto thoughts.’ Our goal is to explore the feasibility of public goods, the journey to becoming a sovereign individual, discussing radical markets through the lens of Austrian School monetary theory, and the potential integration of Harberger taxes into Web3. We aim to explore whether DAOs can strike a balance between Leviathan and privatization in addressing the tragedy of the commons, akin to Ostrom’s concept of self-governance.

I am promoting the Greenpill Chinese manual on the Warpcaster channel. I believe it will greatly help Asian users participate in regen.

@SwiftEvo Would be interesting if this chapter can work with the writers guild to translate the new Allo Book and possibly the 2nd Edition too.

Thanks @Decentralizedceo
Let’s me discuss with Uncommons team.

Knowing that there are discussion of Writer guild in Discord, any summary about the guild status and any collaboration or support from Writer guild?

E.g. any timeline about the Allo book 2nd ver?

thanks

Yea as you said, the information and individuals can be found in the discord. Although, TLDR would be that the Allo V2 is scheduled to be released at Devcon(first week of Nov.) However, there are other projects and research in the writers guild that would still need assistance. The regen ecosystem mapping is starting. Please look out for a message on the discord for planning and different phases.

Here is the annual highlights of Uncommons this yeat

  1. summer of protocol

Summary: Summer of Protocols 2024
Summer of Protocols (协议之夏) is an initiative supported by Ethereum’s core contributors, including input from Vitalik Buterin, and co-sponsored by GCC. The project was executed by Uncommons, with full-time and part-time researchers receiving unconditional funding to explore diverse research topics.

In August 2024, the program selected and supported over ten Chinese-speaking researchers, independent artists, and authors under the “PILL” (Pill to Incept Lore and Literacy) category from nearly 100 proposals. These “humanities geeks” delivered creative works that reimagine the concept of protocols in novel ways, contributing to the humanities perspective in the blockchain ecosystem.

  1. “Crypto Flight” is a series of interviews by Uncommons, focusing on pioneers active in the Ethereum and crypto world.

It documents the reality of the crypto space and produces diverse perspectives, using conversation and everyday language as methods to distill distant and far-off truths.

Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Vol de Nuit (Night Flight), it symbolizes the challenge and exploratory spirit of cypherpunks and crypto citizens as they venture to the ends of the world.

  1. Uncommons GreenPill Podcast Study

As part of the Uncommons workstream initiative, the GreenPill Podcast Study adopts a collaborative approach to engage more participants in understanding and expanding on podcast content.

  1. Uncommons hosted the MycoFi Event as part of its commitment to exploring innovative frameworks inspired by nature. The event was centered on the book MycoFi: Mycelial Design Patterns for Web3 and Beyond, which draws parallels between mycelial networks and regenerative systems in Web3.

The CN version of Mycofi is published on GreenPill Network official website. Also, we host a 7 days co-studying about Myofic.
