For this episode I interviewed Danny O’Brien (@mala) , current senior fellow at the Filecoin Foundation and special advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Danny worked with the EFF for a very long time and has a podcast called How to Fix the Internet.
During the interview we talked about his experience of the early internet and what it was like to see it develop without significant influence from the left, his pub hangouts with cypherpunks before it ended, and the importance of taking part in technological spaces in the early days to political influence. Our first contact with one another contained a little bit of drama on Twitter as well which we discussed a bit. From our point of view, the importance of taking part in the crypto space at this moment trumps the accusations of being a psyop or of left-washing.
