In a world constantly torn by social division amplified by polarizing scissor statements throughout social media, Taiwan conducted a social experiment aimed at strengthening social unity while also embracing diversity. Plurality details how Taiwan’s Digital Minister Audrey Tang and her collaborators achieved inclusive, technology-fueled growth that harnessed digital tools to provide an antidote to information chaos and warfare. The open-source book is living proof that present global challenges can be solved through democratic solutions that embody a decentralised ethos.

We were joined by Audrey Tang and Glen Weyl, co-authors of Plurality, to discuss the social dynamics they studied and how technology can be used to unite rather than divide.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • How Audrey & Glen met and Plurality’s genesis
  • Audrey’s journey from civic hacker to Taiwan’s Digital Affairs Minister
  • How democracy is perceived around the world

  • Scissor statements and how to avoid division
  • How Polis works
  • Leveraging Web3 to strengthen democracy & social collaboration
  • Decentralised co-ownership
