This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Galen Wolfe-Pauly from Urbit

Galen, views the digital world as a vast expanse of possibilities, where architecture demands precision and entrepreneurship. He believes design is essential to creation and that brilliant minds often embody contradictions and chaos.

Urbit is a decentralized computing platform designed to replace the traditional client-server model with a peer-to-peer network of personal servers. It aims to give users full control over their digital identities and data, offering a more secure and private online experience.

We spoke to Galen Wolfe-Pauly about Urbit and:


  • The digital world is this just completely open problem

  • The network kind of warps the world

  • There's so much possibility

  • The digital world is this vast expanse

  • Architecture is kind of like physics

  • A successful architect is an entrepreneur

  • To really have an impact on the world you must see it all the way through

  • Design is how it's made

  • Sunk cost fallacy

  • Brilliant people are full of contradictions and chaos

  • Kinds of chaotic public figures
