Why do those who know the least about technology often have the most power to misuse it? We try to answer that question this week in a discussion of the debate over mandated security backdoors currently raging between media outlets and technologists. We also discuss the role of historical revisionism and examples of how a decentralist critique can add to our understanding of the role of power and freedom in the past.

Our guest this week is Steve Dekorte, creator of decentralized marketplace BitMarkets and lead developer at Voluntary.net. We discuss the challenges and promises of uncensored trade, the proper place of anonymity and identity, and the philosophy driving the work of the Voluntary.net team.

Episode 41: Steve Dekorte on Decentralized, Anonymous Marketplace BitMarkets and Voluntary.net

After forty-two episodes of discussing almost every technology under the sun, we finally take on drones and their possibilities (quite a few, as we discover). We also discuss what drones, nuclear power, and other technologies spell for the future of war, as well as the role that entrepreneurship and decentralization play in turning killing machines into tools for peace.

Friend of the show Jonathan Mayo-Buttry joins us this week to tell us about his work with drone manufacturer 3D Robotics, the principles of motion design, and his experience in producing well-known animations and videos for decentralized technology projects and companies.

James is leaving the show this week. Before riding off into the sunset, he leaves a special message for DECENTRALIZE listeners at the end of this episode.
