Traditional financial and governmental systems are rigged in favor of old money. I favor a transparent decentralized future that empowers individuals to participate directly in their governance, and enables individuals to build updated societal foundations and functionality on a well thought out operating system. I think that Cardano provides that OS.

In my spare time, I'm working on creating a de-centralized agricultural future. Necessarily, this starts with a hardware solution, some of which is open source, and some of which will be produced as a consumer product. My very low cost hardware solution is now 5 years in the making, and the current version running in my garage is the 4th iteration. My hardware solution is in pursuit of both low pressure nutrient film techniques and higher pressure pneumatic aeroponic techniques. In this new and exciting high tech future, families can specialize and securely contract for and trade their fresh commodities within their local communities or broader distributors using #deag apps, which can arrange for either pickup or a manual or autonomous delivery.

Fun fact: A family can grow most of the fresh food they need to live within a 10' cube, and live a much richer and healthier culinary life in doing so than most do today!
