For today’s episode, host Josh Sidman is joined by Cameron Sajedi, and was recorded in March of 2025.Mr. Sajedi is a computer and geoscientist with lots of experience in the blockchain world. Cameron believes that with proper architecture, blockchain can be used to increase collaboration and decentralize decision-making within organizations. This led him to start his own company, Starling Foundries. Starling Foundries is a software and programming firm that tries to create collaborative software by mimicking patterns in nature. He is also an advocate of alternative monetary systems, which is what led him to learn more about Silvio Gesell. Currently, Cameron is developing Geocybernetic Atlas Protocol, a project that integrates geosciences, Web3, and economics to create high-resolution location data. Mr. Sajedi earned his bachelor's degree from Virginia Tech in Geophysics.We hope you enjoy this talk and make sure to check back on our page every week for a brand-new episode! Together, we discussed his new project, Geocybernetic Atlas Protocol, how blockchain and Web3 can be improved to decentralize decision-making, and different experiments with alternative and secondary monetary systems.To check out more of our content, including our research and policy tools, visit our website: https://www.hgsss.org/
