The Outside Context
"An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilizations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop." — Iain M. Banks, Excession. This podcast discusses challenges that fall into the outside context with the innovators and visionaries who are the forefront of technological change. It considers the big picture of technology, and why this matters for the future of human civilisation.

In the Orbit of Innovation: The Next Frontier of Digital Money
In episode 1 of the Outside Context, Jannah and Elise sit down with Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle. Dante shares his journey into the digital assets world from Puerto Rico, to Richard Branson's Island, to the new shores of digital money. Together with the co-hosts they do a deep dive into the future of digital money and how its broader economic impacts may change civilisation as we know it.
They cover how decentralised models might challenge the dominance of sovereign fiat currencies and central banks and the potential broader economic consequences of the ongoing transformation in how we view and use money. Dante also shares insights on the most important trends or innovations in digital assets that we should be paying attention to right now.
Who will the winners and losers of this new digital money era be in the short term....as well as in the long term in this galaxy and the next? How are money and digital assets evolving in the broader context of space exploration and interplanetary economics? Get a bit geeky with Dante & the co-hosts in episode 1 to find out how digital money poses an outside context problem - but also many potential solutions for our financial services system and beyond.
