A self-professed #mycopunk, Jeff is a mycelial explorer of alternative economic potentialities, formally trained as an engineer studying signal-processing systems. He believes that many of our myriad societal problems stem from our hopelessly anti-democratic economic system, and he sees potential in the intersection of nature’s indigenous knowledge and nascent public ledger technologies that could help us progress toward an ancient future where collective resource allocation is as seamless and polycentric as the overlapping mycelial mats inextricably tied into thriving ecosystems.
