Reimagining Layer 0: New Worlds and Ancient Philosophies
summary
Argues that Layer 0 means the human values undergirding protocols and claims ancient Asian philosophies (Buddhism, Daoist Cosmo-Technics) offer concrete guidance to connect technology to the Dao; shows practical experiments: a Pagoda network of Asian Ethereum community builders, Light Forest work with Kernel on regenerative inner practices, and a dig cnx/gcx pop‑up Cosmo Local Changai launched two years ago that draws small local participation and expects multi‑year growth. Proposes tooling: community currencies and embodied governance, and reframes spiritual practice as proof-of-work as inner work.
