Lunarpunk Dreams

I’m soon launching a new podcast: Lunarpunk Dreams.

Lunarpunk is what happens when the sun goes down in a Solarpunk village/town/city. It's still oriented towards regeneration, community and freedom, but perhaps there's a little more space for the weird, the mystical and the personal.

The Lunarpunk Dreams podcast will ask the questions: Who do we need to be, and in what ways to we need to grow, to usher in a Solarpunk future? What is the culture we're creating around Solarpunk technologies, both silicon and psychospiritual?

Watch this space for details of the first episode. (My website has also had a lunarpunk makeover!)

At the 1Y time frame, Metastrategy ranks in the top 10% of all strategies (up 117%), and it is currently the #15 most copied strategy on ICONOMI (by value). Of the 14 larger strategies, Metastrategy is outperforming 10 of them. Read more
