 In this episode, Jeff Emmett, author of Exploring MyCofi: Mycelial Design Patterns for Web3 and Beyond, shares insights on how fungi can inspire the redesign of governance and economic systems. As a co-founder of the Common Stack and token engineering researcher at BlockScience, Jeff has developed tools and blueprints for communities to tackle collective action problems. Drawing on natural patterns, he explores how mycelium-inspired frameworks can increase institutional resilience, enable regenerative economies, and foster mutuality.The conversation touches on the intersections of ecology, distributed technologies, and governance. Jeff discusses how lessons from fungi—such as resource allocation, fractal structures, and adaptogenic resilience—can be applied to human systems. He also examines experiments in decentralized finance, governance models like conviction voting, and the potential for nested economies.Jeff explores:How mycelial principles inspire new governance and resource allocation systemsWhy diverse, local, and fractalized economies are more resilientWhat regenerative finance can learn from ecological cyclesWatch this episode on YouTubeListen to this episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyPocket CastsRSS FeedThemesMycelial Design Principles – How fungi’s resource allocation and coherence can inform economic and governance systems.Fractal and Nested Economies – Building resilient, decentralized economies that scale from local to global.Alternative Governance Models – Exploring conviction voting, bonding curves, and trust-based signaling.Mutual Credit and Generosity – Lessons from ecological support networks for economic cooperation.Adaptogenic Principles – Translating resilience and adaptability from biology into organizational design.Decentralized Finance and Inclusion – How distributed ledgers and offline transactions can enable bottom-up economies.Timestamps00:00 — Institutional neuroplasticity and Mycofi principles02:06 — Introducing Jeff Emmett and his work03:07 — Background: from distributed systems to fungi05:45 — Fungal coherence and resource allocation07:34 — Six design principles inspired by fungi09:41 — Beyond money: multidimensional value systems12:35 — Lessons from fungi for governance in times of abundance and decay15:21 — Underground networks and mutual credit17:57 — Governance mechanisms and biomimicry18:35 — Streaming trust and adaptive governance models22:12 — Global experiments in governance: Taiwan, Ethereum, and beyond26:33 — Conviction voting explained29:54 — Bonding curves as economic membranes32:35 — Distributed ledger tech and shifts in power37:29 — Nested economies and ecological parallels40:19 — Stable currencies without violence-based enforcement42:09 — Wealth Defense Industry and resource distribution45:23 — Arbitrage and mushrooms as natural equilibrators47:01 — Gradients of mutualism and economic incentives49:53 — Subsidiarity and supersediarity in governance52:24 — Adaptogenic principles and psilocybinetics54:59 — Trophic levels and upcycling of energy56:53 — DeFi and resilient bottom-up economies59:01 — Offline transactions and financial inclusion1:00:28 — Designing ideal bottom-up economies1:03:46 — Validated data, experimentation, and the future of governance1:04:13 — Closing reflectionsResourcesExploring MyCofi: Mycelial Design Patterns for Web3 and Beyond – Jeff EmmettPaul StametsMerlin Sheldrake – Entangled LifeToby Kiers – Research on fungal marketsMichael ZarghamBernard Lietaer – Community currenciesElinor Ostrom – Principles for managing commonsDonella Meadows – Thinking in SystemsAstrid Scholz - Tackling the Wealth Defense IndustryAudrey TangMichel BauwensTranscript:Jeff Emmett (00:00)If these adaptogenic mushrooms help our brains grow new neural pathways as individuals, maybe if we apply these Mycofi principles in organizations, they can increase institutional neuroplasticity. They can allow for new ways to sense things, new ways to cohere around what's important and new ways to act by creating these sensing governance pathways and these acting funding pathways and allow them to proliferate in new organizational forms.Lucas Tauil (00:32)Welcome to Entangled Futures with Lucas Tauil where we explore mutuality in conversations towards a world that works for everyone.Lucas Tauil (00:50)This episode is brought to you by the Holochain Foundation. Holochain is creating technology that allows people to team up, share information, and solve their own problems without needing a middleman. Creating carriers that cannot be captured, Holochain enables privacy and holds space for innovation and mutuality. I first came across the project in 2018.During my journey into participative culture with Unsparil. My good friend Hailey Cooperider pointed me to the green paper and I was blown away by the vision of a local first decentralized internet. I worked for five years on the project and feel ...
