[00:00] quick overview of the next 90 minutes that we're going to spend together we will go through a quick orientation which will give you a sense of what uh what is the edge of edge esmeralda and what is the esmeralda of edge esmeralda then we'll have a quick um some details to get you oriented then we will head into our town hall which is a tradition that we have here every week and will give you a sense of what to expect this coming week and some of the experiments we've been doing

[00:32] and then it will roll straight into a activation called the connection lab which will start here as well so i'm just going to kick off and i have janine my co-founder here and devon who's the founder of esmeralda and you'll hear from them in a second as well can you hear me okay by the way it sounds different to normal okay cool perfect i think we moved the speakers so i'm i'm used to a different feedback um cool so what is edge city um so this is the organization that janine and myself started and we speak about what we do as building a society incubator and so what

[01:06] does that mean what it means is that we do three things primarily we host these month-long pop-up villages for people in technology science culture it's very multidisciplinary so lots of different fields represented and so you're in one now congrats it's amazing to have you we also actively incubate and accelerate uh new startups new institutions um you know new permanent real estate projects like towns and cities and we're also doing a lot of grant making and field building so we run grant programs

[01:40] for young builders we push forward research various uh it's kind of cutting in and out but um in various fields of human flourishing like consciousness or a one second don't drop the mics that's the key thing um or how a is reshaping society so a little bit about what we've done so far we've had over 12 000 people come through our doors we've done nine of these events around the world

[02:12] we've had people from over 100 countries represented which is such a crazy stat to me um hundreds of startups and projects um millions of dollars in grants raised and granted and almost 200 kids have been in attendance at our events which is something that's really critical to the multi-generational community we're trying to build and you'll see we've had the the privilege of working with some of the world's leading organizations so here's the edge world map we've we've been all over from California to Bhutan to Patagonia and over time some of these hubs are actually starting to become

[02:48] permanent nodes but they're starting off as temporary explorations so what is our approach so it starts at the villages these we hope are some of the highest leverage months or you know the week that you're here of your year um people come and achieve a ton of progress in the short time that they're here and we you know we try to create environments that have the dynamism of a city in the kind of the size and the social fabric of a village um we generally gather between 500 and a

[03:21] thousand curious kind high agency people and we build these villages around residencies and themed tracks we have four design principles that we like to follow when creating these so the villages are default healthy so we have time outside time for connection good food and so hopefully everyone finds it very easy to be their best selves and really flourish when they're here they are also multi-disciplinary so we have like i mentioned people representing all sides of culture art policy technology science society

[03:57] and writ large we focus a lot on building and co-creating so building we really hope that people ship something while they're here um that could be a startup it could be software hardware it could also be research um you might be building a family so yeah we're kind of in the creation mindset and the co-creation piece relates to how we structure the event so you'll see on the calendar there are dozens hundreds of events per week and we do not organize um very many of those we organize this one you're at now the town hall

[04:31] the community dinner on friday everything else is organized by members of the community so it's really an interesting dynamic environment and lastly they're multi-generational so you'll see there are kids around we have an amazing kids residency program that you'll hear about at the town hall and it's we're really trying to create an environment for kids to thrive and learn and make you know make a context where adults don't have to be completely separated from kids like so many parts of modern society so ultimately what you know we're trying to create

[05:02] just an incredible place to learn to collaborate to run experiments and really to flourish and we hope that you know when we are all flourishing then our ideas and projects will flourish too so just briefly on on the vision and the road map of what we're trying to create so this is a chart we like where the um you know on the y-axis we have a number of people on the x-axis we have time these are all both in uh logarithmic terms and you see that at every stage of these levels of organization

[05:36] there's kind of its own emerging phenomena its own intimacy its own culture and we're at this interesting in-between space where you know a month is a long enough time to build trust run meaningful experiments build something really interesting especially these days where it's so easy to build things quickly and experiment but we don't have the pressure of trying to build something completely permanent so that we can try like actually run meaningful interesting experiments so we hope that these villages are just an amazing way to bootstrap a community that's thinking about

[06:08] how to build a brighter future and why is that important why is this critical now well we feel that you know we are entering a time of global transition or i mean i should say have entered we're very much in it and we believe that we need new sets of norms cultures institutions and so the question is where will those come from and obviously some will come from the traditional sources of um you know things like think tanks accelerators government programs universities etc but we think we need new environments to

[06:41] incubate kind of the new institutions new culture that fit the affordances of our time and we hope that these pop-up villages are kind of an interesting new surface area to explore those things as well so we think that some of the things that you all might start in these environments might end up having a real impact we've already seen amazing examples of those and to share a few of those we'll just share a couple of slides and i'll just invite my co-founder janine up to share some of the case

[07:14] studies we could do like little snaps because there's not enough for us to do yeah yeah i didn't get my run in today so uh that was my that was my job um so essentially we've been using this environment to actually do a lot of projects and experiments versus just congregating uh the value of the 30-day period allows for that and i'm just going to run through kind of what types of projects and experiments have worked really well here as you might be thinking about projects and experiments you

[07:45] want to run so we've got the inflection fellowship which is a fellowship we've been running for the past three years where i think we've got action fellow at the back over there um we actually have an old inflection fellow amazing welcome uh where we bring in six to eight talented builders under the age of 25 where it's a fully subsidized time in the village as the space to learn find you know mentorship from other top builders and experts in their field and bringing a whole bunch of builders

[08:18] together that aren't from any one given field but are from a whole bunch of different backgrounds um and one of our fellows nick ford who was actually here last week kind of mentioned that edge has a funny way of almost certainly changing your life and i think that is true for everyone who's gone through the fellowship and have just found both incredible relationships mentors and and support systems generally for the crazy crazy out there ideas it's also great for building startups if you're

[08:49] willing to kind of cut through the noise of what's going on in edge and can spend some of your time you know sitting down focusing uh last year constellation i think is a very good example of a startup that was built at edge where uh avery krieger he was part of the long journey residency uh there was another guy in the long journey residency mateo they've actually joined forces and are now working together on constellation they ran the largest multimodal data set of its kind last year and um have subsequently

[09:22] raised 10 million dollars to go after like getting more of this data and figuring out what actually is going on in both our brain and body through edge we've done a lot of field building and it's not just in this field of consciousness but it consciousness is one of the examples where we've been doing a lot of field building but we've also been supporting folks in bioelectricity um we've helped with sort of incubating and getting getting up and running the field of network societies we had a lot this weekend

[09:57] around network nations and network states and what are they so all of these different fields that are emerging we try and create a space that allows you know the seeds of these ideas to really flourish and then finding different individuals who want to support those fields building the ecosystem of both funders and researchers as well as you know builders who want to push this work forward so consciousness has been one area we've done a lot in and we now even have a consciousness residency on the ground

[10:30] we've done a number of grants uh over sort of 500k towards grants in the space that have gone to researchers to turn theory into science and we hope to continue significantly in this area doing a lot more from a grant program standpoint and helping incubate ideas that people have had at our edges previously one of such areas that we've been sort of moving from just field building to actually doing applied

[11:00] research because the environment that we have is is good for that is this area of vasocomputation we'll be actually running an experiment the second experiment in this field this week uh where you know we've gone from the first talk in this field was presented at edge esmeralda and is now you know gone to a funded research project where we're running a series of experiments around like does do latches exist another area that we're very excited about and i will um bring devon to the to the stage shortly is that

[11:40] these month-long periods are often done in relation with a full-time project that is going to be built one thing that we believe in is that social infrastructure is as important to build as physical infrastructure so while edge becomes the software layer we want to find very aligned hardware layers per se of new permanent hubs that are built around human flourishing and are built with that in mind versus just environments that we live that don't necessarily serve us

[12:14] uh to be the best of what we're going to be so some of our partnerships include esmeralda we're at edge esmeralda you'll learn more about esmeralda shortly and then the galefu mindfulness city in bhutan we've also got a exciting partnership that we'll share more about in india that we'll be sort of partnering with for what we do in india later this year so on that note i'm gonna welcome devon to the stage thank you janine thank you timor um it's so nice to see new faces here welcome to edge esmeralda my

[12:50] name is devon and as janine and timor mentioned they are the co-founders of edge city which is one of esmeralda's most important partners so esmeralda is the permanent village that i'm building here in sonoma county just 15 minutes up the road from where we are right now um right now it is an empty beautiful piece of land uh that was a former lumber mill and we're now transforming it into a uh walkable community-oriented village um to give you a sense of the location um i mean everyone here knows where

[13:22] healdsburg is has anyone been to cloverdale it's another okay awesome so cloverdale is a wonderful town that is just 15 minutes up the road from here and esmeralda is going to be on the outskirts of cloverdale and so that's a little sense of the location um here you can see some photos of the property and the surrounding land it's sort of the classic beautiful california rolling landscape and one of my favorite things to do is just hike around the beautiful property um so chautauqua

[13:55] is this incredible town in western new york which is the biggest source of inspiration for what we're building for esmeralda um it's actually where my grandfather lives which is why i have a personal connection to it and it was founded about 150 years ago uh and on i i like to think of chautauqua being very special in two ways so one is the hardware like janine was saying and also the software and on on the hardware side because chautauqua was built before the car um this town of about 8 000 people is very walkable very bikeable um in the case of my grandmother she gets around on a

[14:31] little electric scooter um and you it's a place where people really know their neighbors they sit on their front porches um and you you bump into people but i think the thing that makes chautauqua extra special is what we like to call the software which is the social infrastructure that really brings people together so uh chautauqua for nine weeks every summer hosts a series of lectures and workshops and performances and kids camps and fourth of july parades uh and um really a lot of the

[15:04] sorts of things that you're going to be experiencing here at edge happen in chautauqua but they've been running there for 15 decades at this point um i think another piece of chautauqua that is a big inspiration for esmeralda but really for the way we we run this whole event of edge esmeralda is that chautauqua was built by and for america's great inventors during the industrial revolution so people like thomas edison henry ford harvey firestone and many others lewis miller they would go to chautauqua

[15:35] in the summer with their families to so that their kids and people through their whole extended social network would be integrated into a place that's very tight-knit but also very oriented towards the future and towards uh progress and thinking about how to make a better world um one of my favorite little anecdotes about chautauqua is that one summer uh thomas edison thought you know the hotel in town it's called the athenaeum um it should have electric light bulbs so as his summer project he

[16:06] wired the hotel in chautauqua with some of the first light bulbs in america um and so to give a little bit more of a sense of chautauqua here are some photos of some of the most iconic spaces from my perspective um on the bottom right you'll see there's a 3 000 person um amphitheater and again chautauqua only has about 8 000 people so keep in mind that this amphitheater gets filled almost every single day throughout the summer um and it's a community where people really come out and they get to know their neighbors and it's not just on things like you know oh the weather is nice today

[16:40] but also you know that that that author who came and spoke about a book or that performance that we saw let's have a deeper conversation about it and it creates this shared context that allows people to really get to know each other in a deeper way than you might with your traditional neighbors and then up above is another photo of the amphitheater on the left is the town plaza and then on the bottom left is actually my grandmother's street which shows sort of the classic chautauqua porches which is the most important room of every house um and so for esmeralda we we look at this and we're like man

[17:16] you know this when i i growing up i went to chautauqua every single year from the year i was born but it wasn't until just a few years ago when i took my husband there he was my boyfriend at the time and um he he just asked me this very simple question which is why aren't there more places like chautauqua um and it sort of lit this light bulb in my head of yeah why aren't there more places like chautauqua we know how to build buildings and infrastructure we know how to host events and bring people together um if we bring if we connect those two pieces the hardware and the software you can create

[17:51] this very special place and special community um i think another thing that i learned from chautauqua is something i like to call the ladder of commitment so with any community it can be hard to convince someone to go there for the first time they might you know especially for something as big as buying a home or moving somewhere permanently that's a really big life decision and people tend not to move anywhere unless they've actually experienced it first and so one of the things that i've loved about being able to collaborate with janine and timor and the whole edge team is that uh edge esmeralda

[18:27] gives people an opportunity to experience what it's actually like to live in a place like a chautauqua for a period of time before having to make a big commitment it has also given us an incredible opportunity to get to know the local community and i also encourage you all anyone who's coming from far away connect with the locals invite them into everything we this is something that's very much embedded in this place and we're really excited to be building on what sonoma county and cloverdale and healdsburg already have um and making it you know adding our own little special spice into it

[19:03] um really quickly i'll talk more about this in the future especially during the environments of tomorrow week which is the last week but i'll give you a little preview of how we think about the hardware and the software so on the hardware i think the fact that chautauqua was built before the car primarily is really essential to its success i think it's also why a town like healdsburg where we're in is um so special because the plaza and especially the the areas that are surrounding it they tend to be more built around walking and biking and that seems like a small difference but you end up

[19:35] interacting with people very differently when you're walking around compared to in your glass bubble of a car and not necessarily talking to anybody you might actually bump into someone and have a conversation rather than having road rage at them um and we're spending a lot of time thinking about how do you design this village so that you encourage that kind of interaction and make it feel very safe and in particular safe for children because i think in a society where everything is really built around the car kids end up having a lot less independence it's harder to walk to their friend's house it's

[20:11] harder for them to feel like they get to make their own decisions because they have to ask their parents to drive them everywhere um i think that in the last 75 years or so very few places have been built with these principles in mind in the u.s but a few of them have been built and i will talk your ear off about them i've collected a database of places that i admire in this way um and they're wildly popular when they are built so uh we we we think that um basically people have been treating these walkable

[20:42] bikeable places as a scarce resource as if we can't build more but again like you know people built built places like the west village in manhattan or uh tuscan villages before we even knew what calculus was so i think we can we can figure out how to build these places again the other piece is the software and this is what you're going to get to experience while you're here at edge esmeralda and all of the social infrastructure that the edge city pop-up model really brings things um and to that point we actually have something that we this is now our third year

[21:14] running edge esmeralda and uh as a result we've gotten a lot of people who are really interested in buying homes in esmeralda once it's actually built um some of them are sonoma locals who have participated in edge esmeralda some of them are folks who have come far and wide and we've actually already gotten commitments for all of phase one for all of the homes and so if you're interested let me know and i apologize we should have warned you that this is basically a times timeshare sale but we're we'll give you more of a warning next time um great okay so you're probably wondering

[21:50] about timeline uh building physical things and places takes a long time i've actually been working on this now for three and a half years it's hard to say that number out loud um sometimes and we have probably about 11 more years ahead of us for the full build out and what that means is like the last home is like done and like someone has moved in um right now where we're at is we're about to go up for final approvals we we have to get four approvals in total and we've already secured secured two of

[22:21] them um the last third and fourth uh are gonna come up in the next few months so i'm basically running a political campaign right now which means that you're gonna see me like running around like a crazy person and um you know probably with signs in the back of my car uh to to be like put in people's yards um and then after we have that we're going to actually close on the property uh and begin building and then the next probably most interesting date for you all to know is we think that the the first phase of the homes and the hotel and some of the early retail will be built and ready to go

[22:56] and ready to use in about 2030. there are a lot of things around that timeline that may wiggle around it might be a little sooner it might be a little longer but we think that 2030 is a realistic timeline and so i'll talk a lot more about esmeralda as the month goes on and as i said like the database of inspiring places and the specifics around the urban design and if you want to hear what it's like to run a political campaign let's get a drink um but um thank you all for being here um i just want to

[23:27] say like getting to work with the edge city team on this is hugely motivating for me because this is such a long-term project getting to actually see what it's like to live in these villages and myself getting to live in these villages it reminds me like why i'm actually doing this even though it is such a long road so thank you for being a part of that and thank you to the edge team for creating this container thank you so much devin um awesome so i'm just going to speed through some things because

[23:59] we're almost at time this section is normally done by jess louisbrand she's our amazing community care lead that's her on the left she isn't um feeling good today so i'm going to go through it myself but this is a very important aspect of how we show up in this space um and this is really focused on the relational ecology of the village which involves the wellness programming the connection experiences that we have here we have a lot of community care resources

[24:32] and overall we're creating the conditions where trust belonging and collaboration can organically emerge we don't have to force it you know we're all in this together we want to create a really form thoughtful kind environment um and we've seen that putting like a bit of structure around it has been incredibly helpful to that regard so community care starts with an understanding that we are all very much in this together diversity is our greater strength we want people from different

[25:03] perspective different walks of life we talk a lot about disagreeing respectfully so you can really contribute meaningfully to each other's experience and you can still disagree right we have different perspectives different views um we also encourage people to practice uh jomo the joy of missing out like leave room for spontaneity don't get overwhelmed by the insanely filled calendar and i mean this is the way that just frames this which i really like is that at the heart of all of this

[25:34] is the concept of respect so for yourself for others for your own boundaries and just giving us a chance to really show up fully um for each other um we have a very simple principle which is ask first that can mean you know joining someone at lunch it can mean giving someone a hug um consent is important we encourage people to approach everything with curiosity and um just remember that you know no is a complete sentence

[26:06] and these are just very important aspects of living in a village together and these are our amazing community care stewards we have jess kate and claire they are focused on this kate is also kind of a well-being lead she has a recharge house uh there's also a zen zone every day where you can go to the wellness space and just chill trying to make it like a siesta we're rebranding it from zen zone to like siesta room um basically it's like 2 p.m to 3 p.m and you can go and have a little 20 minute you know uh

[26:41] shut shut eye um it can be very intense in these experiences we don't sugarcoat that and i think we encourage people to actually lean into that it can be uncomfortable you're growing you're at the edge of your comfort zone um but you know we're also here to help and make sure it's not like a burnout experience we also have volunteers in the community who care about um the community ecology so we have tess steve and alex and if you are interested in being part of this team you can reach out to jess

[27:17] on telegram that's her telegram handle just there um and quickly the community care resources include we have access to all the community care principles that i just mentioned in one place we have a full accountability framework there is a form if you want to report an incident which can stay anonymous and you can of course chat directly with any of the community care representatives so there's a qr code here and also um it's in the it's pinned in the telegram chat there are a lot of community care

[27:51] events and connection events i won't go through all of these right now because i'll touch on them in the town hall but the quick summary there is that there is plenty on the calendar to do with connection with well-being and we hope that you get involved so yeah i'll quickly touch on kind of getting oriented these are the the nuts and bolts um first of all are you is everyone on telegram if you're not you should be okay good um there is a pinned topic at the top of that called read this first please read

[28:25] it first and you can also always look at the organizer announcements you can actually pin the whole chat and just un sorry mute the whole chat and unmute those uh especially the organizer announcements we'll be sharing lots of important information there we have something called edge os it's our ticketing and calendar system you've used it to check in um that's where you can see the calendar there's also a way to get your api keys there to give it to your personal ai or your agent and you can ask your agent information

[28:56] about the calendar you can even have it rsvp to things using those keys um there is a wiki at tinyurl.com forward slash so it should be e26 wiki um that's where all of the information is and again it's pinned at the read this first uh topic and we encourage everyone to get involved in the agent village experiment which i'll touch on in a sec so here's the map you'll see there's kind of two main clusters there's like the uptown which is where hotel trio is that's also where the sauna is and then there's the

[29:28] downtown um which includes the loft where we are now and the hub where the co-working space is and most of the key programming will happen in the loft and then the hub has co-working wellness um the kids space etc we have a lot of amazing residencies and programs this year which you'll get a chance to experience and we're really proud of the experiments that are happening at jesmeralda it's quite rare to have an environment like this that allows for this level of experimentation i'll give you a couple of

[30:01] examples so this is the agent village experiment this will be the largest kind of human interacting with agents experiment run thus far there are some amazing kind of frontier ai organizations involved and we encourage everyone to set up your agent we have free credits for you um you can top up your credits a bunch and your agents will be interacting with the people's agents and we'll have really interesting things happening um in that throughout the week we'll have a few other experiments so there's a connection lab experience that you'll get to see later

[30:36] we are running something called vasocomputation later this week which will be really cool um and all of that information is on the blog and the wiki lastly we have a knowledge graph knowledge base for the village every talk that gets recorded gets put into the knowledge graph and so eventually we'll be able to query it and ask questions about what was discussed and you can always there'll be a qr code on that tv it's off right now but it will be up there um and you can always scan it and for every

[31:09] talk you can give comments and there's polls and it's a good way for speakers to get involved with the audience okay so lastly we have just a couple of quick goals for the month so we really hope that you will move learn and make progress daily so try and move your body 30 minutes per day try and learn something get to know someone every day every day is a school day here um and make progress and share it in the telegram chat we're really encouraging people to share what they're working on what they're building what they're shipping and lastly like we said you know get involved in the experiments and

[31:44] really co-create the experience together you know join people sessions organize your own host that dinner party you've always wanted to and really you know try and push yourself to the edge of your comfort zone because you'll be really glad you did it afterwards so that's it for the orientation any quick questions then we'll take a two minute break and then we'll go straight into town hall no it was just incredibly clear okay perfect amazing all right thank you guys so much we'll do yeah 60

[32:15] second break and then into the town hall thank you all right everybody let's grab a seat if you're standing i think uh laura we might need more chairs a couple more maybe sorry

[37:31] all right if you can hear me clap once if you can hear me clap twice if you can hear me three times amazing thank you all if you're standing at the back you can come grab a seat there's a few at the front here welcome everybody welcome to town hall we would quick quick plug first of all can we get can we get some snaps for young piper here yeah the sweetest sweetest baby angel um all right so quick

[38:06] thing we would love your feedback we will send this in email um as like a mid-month feedback form there's also a new format if you prefer to talk to an ai these days you don't like filling out surveys when you um scan that there'll be a link lucas morales in the community created an amazing ai based way to solicit information and we would absolutely love to know how the uh the week the month has been going for you so please fill that out it will help us a lot we also have an amazing collaboration with notion

[38:40] as you guys know we had the film crew here on friday they were extremely excited about everything that's happening on the ground they've given us an incredible offer 5 000 extra credits you can build incredible stuff using all the latest ai models except fable 5 rip um they had it they had it for a moment and then they lost it um and then also three months of notion business free and then they're having a session on wednesday this is um application only but they will spend they will bring up five

[39:12] notion experts notion ai experts um for three to spend three hours with us onboarding us onto how to automate everything you possibly could want to do in your life work relationship whatever on notion so if you want to join that highly recommend but you will need to sign up and that's wednesday at 2 p.m final plug for the agent village experiment we hope you guys sign up for that and what we're going to do now is just we'll spend four or five minutes in small groups with the people that you're sitting

[39:45] around and we're just going to do a little sharing you know it's edge we have some we love some structured connection maybe move around a bit if you know one around you super well maybe don't it's still a good prompt for that so we'd love for you to share what is a rose bud and a thorn from the last seven days of your life if you just arrived you can give people information about where you're coming from um rose bud thorns pretty simple rose is something wonderful truly amazing a thorn is maybe something that wasn't so amazing and a bud is something that you're excited about

[40:19] um so let's do that for the next four or five minutes in groups of four and five and then we'll come back together and go through some stats for from week two all right folks let's come

[46:10] back around if you can hear me clap once if you can hear me clap twice if you can hear me clap three times amazing come grab a seat if you're standing dion marlo you can come come closer up to the front all right so let's do a quick recap of the week we just had i love to start with the stats so we had 201 sessions in week two we beat week one let's go

[46:45] congrats guys so that's um 380 that's not correct 382 to date we have 436 people have now checked into the village that's a lot um we have had anyone want to guess how many rsvps two events we've had in total so cumulative first two weeks 6 000 3 000 18 000 okay anyone else 7 000 okay we have

[47:19] two joint winners because it was 8 302 rsvps that's a lot of events attended because we all are attending every event we are svp to right okay good we have for the first time ever in edgy history not just human attendees we have agent attendees we have 181 of them among us they have collectively spent four billion tokens and growing so you know we encourage you to get involved

[47:54] and we also have yeah like three dog attendees that's also we should okay that's the next stat for next week yeah we need to get those numbers up um amazing and because you know pictures are worth a thousand statistics we just want to show some of the things that have happened so we've had amazing sessions with vibe coding amazing vibes we had a tree net creation workshop which was beautiful an amazing hike uh yesterday is it still there okay cool so yeah it's actually somewhere where we could

[48:40] you know potentially explore more um throughout the week um is there agi was a question that was posed and we've had just amazing sessions amazing meditation sessions and the journey retreat yesterday yeah yeah and then we'll have um we'll hear more about the edge tomorrow residency in a moment but one thing we like to do is we like to uh sorry go um kind of live on this and share a little bit about what we've

[49:20] sorry i'm gonna have to change my settings here but we um like to hear from the community in terms of what people are enjoying and so if you start thinking about the highlights that you've had for the week while i mirror my screen okay perfect um yeah so we generally ask you know over the past week what has been working well any highlights i can start we had a really fun party yesterday which was great so nice to see

[49:55] people in a different context and moving on the dance floor enjoying people were you know saying hello saying goodbye some people are leaving already it's just a very sweet um sweet environment and i'm also enjoying how the agent village is progressing there is a lot of chatter in the telegram chat so you should definitely join that there's a whole separate discussion group for that a quick uh preview someone has created ocean has created kind of a molt book type thing so some of the agents already have their

[50:26] own forum where they're discussing um monastic history from the 1500s that's happened in the last 24 hours so we encourage you to uh get your agent to join that forum and we'll be sharing how to do that tomorrow and we're going to see what kind of weird stuff happens when there's a hundred of them chatting together instead of just five um anything else that has been uh it's been great from the past couple weeks uh sorry the past week just shout it out oh yeah you can just shout out okay chase's

[51:00] governance workshop yeah i heard great things good job chase oh yeah the neurome track that was huge shout out to zach miller who just did an amazing job with that zach miller did an amazing job i really love david show's uh talk on ai safety right we had a whole week of amazing ai talks i almost forgot about that um yeah it's really it's really remarkable to have people like david and and the other amazing speakers come and share their research and what they've been working on and have such like

[51:33] a extended dialogue with the community what else have people been enjoying yeah jack yoga every morning yeah definitely a highlight did did anyone do the gnosis sessions at any point in the last couple weeks yeah a bunch of people i did it on thursday it was like a very cathartic experience um i think there was one back there yeah yeah badger park dinner on friday volleyball daily

[52:06] yeah i was chatting with devin she's like yeah we're doing volleyball later today at six i was like okay i'll be there so after connection lab that's happening badger park experiments yeah all right last one yes yes yes so we've had a change of location which has been a delight because now we see

[52:41] what the god orb is we we've heard amazing things about it and now we actually get to visualize it um so yeah that's been great then um what are some learnings and reminders or things that we feel like maybe could be improved around the village i will always say this one which is lip leave it prettier um this has been my favorite recent learning um so yeah just yeah just remember to leave spaces as clean or cleaner

[53:12] ideally then you found them we have a lot of people who are incredibly excited about the program on the track they just heard the talk and they leave their spin drift around and it just creates a load for the volunteer team or the um the you know the production team so even if something's not yours just like grab it empty it in the in the tap and then recycle it um we talked about this a bit on friday but we would love folks to be very mindful at the local businesses we heard heard a story of someone being on a video call at a little saint which is

[53:47] not a co-working space it's an incredible restaurant and they actually apparently got a little bit annoyed at the waiter who walks behind them because it disrupted their video call and that is just obviously not the kind of behavior that we want to have in the village so please be thoughtful about that um speak kindly to people be a patron if you're going to spend time at a restaurant yeah obvious obvious things anything else that people feel like we can be improving continuing to get better at oh uh yeah back

[54:18] there yes yeah i think that's right i i was thinking about this actually so the pomodoro sessions for people that don't know is um from 10 a.m to 2 p.m on the calendar we have them every day it's a little bit of like a decentralized thing right now where you know we encourage you to do your work during that time before the you know after the movement sessions before the programming in the afternoon um in the

[54:49] past we've had someone actually lead that which is a very fun and easy thing to do you just sit there and do your work and you just set a timer and in the break time you know people can chat and discuss we would love to find someone who can just own that in the community and and be a leader for it so if you're interested please reach out um it's it's genuinely fun and it's the most productive you'll be like ever maybe no one wants to be that productive yeah yeah um yeah anything else

[55:27] yeah totally that's a really good point on wednesdays and saturdays right tuesdays all right ignore everything i'm saying tuesdays and saturdays there's an amazing farmer's market at foley pavilion and on tuesday evening there's always jazz in the plaza so feel free to like go and grab your dinner at the borough and go straight thereafter that's why we make that one so close yeah exactly

[56:01] so we purposefully picked the borough as the dinner spot on tuesday because it's right there you can actually hear the music and you can grab your food to go and go sit in the plaza it's such an amazing opportunity by the way we learned that you can actually perform at the plaza yourself on stage i think that was lucas found that out shout out lucas oh no all right he's pointing at someone else who i can't see so well thank you for finding that out and um you can apply and actually just perform in the plaza and it would be amazing if someone did that and we could come out and support you we have some incredible

[56:34] musicians in the community so you know make it happen yeah are you in the plaza yeah um you know i would suggest you speak to the city about that one and awesome we can also get the projectors in the in the well-being space no no as in i'm saying you can set them up and we could do a whole like yeah experience

[57:11] yeah yeah or or during one of the evening sessions yeah i also looked into playing at the square and it's actually booked already um for this week so like they encouraged for us to apply like in september to like okay a big edge event but the fully family center is where we could try and do something in the next two weeks no wait that's that one yeah it's a little pavilion yeah so we should that's a good place that we could actually do like a esmeralda political event or not political promotion event like campaigning event and paired with a concert like play music and do a community thing and talk about

[57:45] so shout out devin maybe yeah yeah yeah awesome awesome anything else last uh last one all right let's have um this is my favorite one gratitude and props just shout out like anyone in the community you'd like to call out for organizing something conversation you had maybe they made you laugh they don't have to be here right now you can just tell us what what happened yeah yeah shout out piper she clearly loves microphone yes yes we have a 13 year old resident called trey who's absolutely

[58:28] awesome highly recommend chatting with him he's incredibly wise and funny yeah he won yeah shout out lucas it's been amazing uh lucas is leading the inflection fellowship that we have here this month and he won is one of the fellows yes yes yes look up elsewhere which is samantha's project they served

[59:05] matcha at 10 pm which is chaotic good i think and i definitely did not have any but i was fun to see people enjoying that um couple more yeah yes shout out surge and his tea ceremonies he's like he has just the perfect aesthetic of someone that should be doing tea ceremonies yeah those have been amazing and then i'll shout out miela for running a great campground uh and actually having such a cool vibe out there

[59:39] yeah amazing yeah jackson this is my favorite part of being here just the bike rides from trio to to here just like the perfect length for a track for like a music song or just to chat with people run into people on the bike path so yeah shout out colton everyone involved in the bike program so great

[1:00:09] and that's really evolved uh the first year we're a little bit late to the party with bringing bikes and we ended up getting a whole bunch of burning man bikes around town like no one not all of them worked very well so we really upgraded that program so imagine like the congregation of bikes we have right now but some of them would have like bullhorns and like fur and you know the town really loved it yeah we're like we're totally totally not obvious yeah um and do a couple more and i realize i need to bring

[1:00:39] back the speaker notes sorry any uh yeah lucas yeah the journey retreat was awesome for those of you that were able to go they were so ecstatic about running that as a date on here that they want to try and do another one before we're done which is awesome what else miela don's really learning how to run experiments

[1:01:15] so if you're like i really want to run something don't make her do it for you but just ask her about how she's been doing it and then do it yourself yes yes and that is a perfect segue to our next section which is the residency updates and for the first update i would like to welcome mitra share about edge tomorrow please welcome mitra uh how many of you have kids right um how many of

[1:01:57] you might have kids one day okay uh how many of you are kids any kids out there what about how how how many of you were once kids yeah all right so you know creating a multi-generational experience that's truly inclusive no matter what your age is um where you're not bored you're not stressed and you're not excluded is really core to our work here um as as devin shared earlier so i'm mitra martin

[1:02:32] and one of the residencies we we're running this month is called edge tomorrow um so we have about 20 families involved and uh each week a dozen young people about ages 4 to 13 are participating as citizens in a a new project they're really co-creators in this village that we're building together so a microcosm of a village within a village um in the past two weeks they've run a cafe they've uh produced a

[1:03:07] birthday party they've designed a currency it's called snack bits um they created an escape room and they built an entire cardboard metropolis you can see the portal to uh the city of cardboard whatever right there um where the values of the city are weirdness respect creativity and calmness um so they've done done this in collaboration with artists entrepreneurs and residents from all across

[1:03:40] edge and because we're now based in the hub um you'll see us around the edge tomorrow headquarters at the hub in the kitchen operating micro businesses and promoting our projects to you in the corridor as you pass um so i wanted to share a little bit about um what would be especially helpful this week um first of all please support the residents work you can buy something from snack fae that is our pop-up cafe we have snack fae 2.0 coming this week um help them build something in the city of cardboard whatever

[1:04:17] this week we're relocating the ancient ruins of our first uh cardboard city to a new location so lots of building to do you can help help us with the god orb which is an 11 000 piece shadow of a 15 dimensional structure uh i brought this model of this mysterious object the final version is going to be about two meters in diameter and spherical we're still trying to understand what it does

[1:04:51] and second if you see a young person working treat them like a fellow creator ask about their project in the same way you'd ask an adult creator about theirs and listen to their answers one of the things i've been so touched by is just being surprised by what you learn when you really listen and you really wait for them to complete their thought about what it is they're trying to build and make space for them third please help us protect the rhythm of the program uh from roughly nine till four we're in active sessions workshopping circle time project time

[1:05:26] you're welcome to to observe um check with us before pulling young residents into other activities and please come to our open house we do an open house every friday at 2 30 p.m where all of our residents share what they've been building um discovering and creating so what this is really about is kind of leaning very specifically into the question of what happens when we give our youngest creators real agency real responsibility um and opportunities to contribute

[1:06:02] and see what they do um the results so far has been so have been so touching to me and the other people who have been part of this they really open our mind to a sense of possibilities one four-year-old resident who has made enormous contributions to our cardboard metropolis over the past two weeks told us i never want to not be here that was very touching to hear but thank you all so much for being here and for helping us make this a village that works for

[1:06:32] people of all ages um and where all members of our family belong so if you have ideas or questions please message me on telegram and i'm looking forward to connecting with you over the next week thank you thank you so much mitra i had a parent come up to me a few days ago and say it was actually annoying to them how good edge tomorrow has been because they don't know how they're gonna find a camp that could possibly compare for the rest of the summer which was such an amazing bit of

[1:07:04] feedback to get so thank you so much mitra all right next up we have an update from the touch grass residency so i'd like to welcome nico and jeremy to the stage hello how are we doing energy wise are we good good yeah um so do you guys want to just go through an update or would

[1:07:39] you like to i need to ask a question perfect let's start there all right well hello everybody we are agartha and for those that have no idea what that is we're a solar punk creative studio and one of our core missions is to help to cultivate a global network of interconnected solar punk communities that believe in planetary regeneration and ethical technology spiritual growth and loving community so among the many things that we do we're storytellers so we write on substack we're launching a podcast soon

[1:08:09] and we organize a lot of these residencies so here at edge esmeralda we're running the touch grass residency in collaboration with artisan artisan is also with us i don't think renee is in the audience today right now but it's actually an endowment for human creativity renee has raised about 14 million dollars that he's built an engine to help facilitate artists and creators innovate and and get matching funding for a lot of their projects so we could recap a little bit of what we've done so far it's been quite intense and we've had a lot of activities but the underlying theme has been touching grass and

[1:08:45] there's actual science behind this did you know that earth actually has a specific electric frequency and this is measurable and often we can refer to this as the schumann resonance and when we actually touch and ground and it's called earthing or grounding we're actually calibrating our own ions to the frequency of the earth and that has produced tangible results in terms of reducing stress helping with better sleep and helping with your health so we came into edge esmeralda knowing the intensity and the amount of energy here so our thesis was how do we help balance that a little bit and

[1:09:19] harmonize and give a place to find slowness and peace and stillness and then recharge so you can do awesome crazy again so we've done some interesting things like focus on nature-oriented activities so i've been running a few different volleyball workshops and i'm going to continue to do that if anyone wants to play there's been a lot of people playing i used to be a coach back in college so if you want to get the basics of fundamentals and learn how to play i'm happy to teach i've done some ikigai workshops as well we've had a flow art ceremony or uh out in the park hippie spinning sticks

[1:09:54] we're seeing if we could light them on fire but uh there's some kind of problem no fires no fires um another grounding element has been these uh very intentional curated uh slow dinners so we've been hosting some dinners that are for the residents but we also believe in a lot of cross-pollination so there are spots open for the rest of the edge community so if you'd like to participate and hang out and connect them at a very deep level we are going to continue to do that about twice a week uh for the next two weeks um so we can talk about the next yeah and then next week i'm gonna see if

[1:10:27] i can remember this so next week our programming includes on monday 10 a.m right here we're gonna have a fireside chat with renee who's the founder of artisan and talking about unlocking 10 million dollar funding to fund your weird creative projects that nobody else will fund so if you have a weird creative project that you really want funding but it's really hard to explain to people come and chat with renee see if they can support you um and then monday 5 pm we have a really awesome guest jillian morris who's with us here in the audience jillian is the co-founder of super nuclear it's an awesome awesome

[1:11:03] blog about everything co-living related and the concept of super nuclear family so beyond nuclear family so she will be chatting about collective ownership of properties with your friends so if you're interested in living together with your friends they're trying to figure out how to make that work um you can come and have a chat with us she is a walking library of co-living knowledge and i'm sure you can learn a thing or two um and then thursday it is gonna be our big biggest event that will be host i don't know

[1:11:35] if this is the biggest i hope our last biggest event was the saturday party which we had about 60 people and this time maybe more can come the the reason that is the biggest um because we want to sponsor people with nice food and you know when there is free food people will come the event title is a solar punk soiree so we have designed the event to help people enjoy and embody solar punk values what really is it and how does it actually work you have to come and find out and i encourage everyone to

[1:12:08] dress either fancy or funky um so yeah dress up feel nice and come enjoy is hippie allowed hippie dress yeah definitely allowed and i think we probably among this crowd we all have very different different definition of what hippie is so yeah close by the way clothes and if you if you want to touch people please consent yeah that's bottom line um so that's thursday night and location will be announced on the on the event on edge os and then i think last thing is friday we potentially have an interview with janine

[1:12:43] tentatively at 11 a.m yes time is good okay it took a while for us to right it took a while for us to confirm the time as everyone's super busy we will have a really chat with janine about her founder story life philosophy and the long-term vision about edge city so super super excited about that and outside of that we're probably going to put up more fire spinning without fire events so if you want to just like decompress move your body with some flow toys and just come find us on the grass and um i think that's

[1:13:14] it yeah and uh when when in doubt if you ever if new stuff pops up you can just search on edge os calendar you can filter by agartha and you'll see all the touch grass events all right thank you so much thank you agartha all right next up we as as many of you know consciousness has been a field that we have been trying to really advance and push forward and that has culminated in probably the biggest thing we've done so far in the field which is the consciousness residency and to tell you more about

[1:13:44] that i would like to welcome wyatt to the stage round of applause for wyatt thank you timor is this updated oh refresh yeah you see the well yeah on the stage here um this is uh our house we're at the calderwood inn there's about somewhere between 10 and 14 of us depending on who's coming in and who's coming out of the consciousness residency but uh it's filled with uh deep philosophers

[1:14:16] technologists embodied practitioners all living under one roof trying to help evolve the field of consciousness uh as a rigorous and empirical place where we can create and what do i press to go forward now yeah so this is where we talk about jana mogging bliss maxing observer effect cards jana cells versus jana chads you know that's how we evolve the effects this field become a rigorous place um so some projects we have in motion here uh there's an ontology project and that's how can we uh use actual

[1:14:49] current research to collect the field under a shared understanding of lexicon as well as rules that uh the field has been so disparate we need to create this uh this new ontology so that's being done by angie mike johnson and eric eric will be up here in a second uh we had the cimc talk yesterday if you attended it was it was incredibly deep and it continued it's probably six hours long to be honest um the california institute for machine consciousness uh very involved here on the picture there you've

[1:15:21] got franz and hikari from cimc they're two philosophers you can tell because of that um we've got people working on technodelic states you don't only need psychedelics or a long-term commitment to a practice to experience altered states sometimes just a bunch of flashing lights will do the trick um uh we also have just recently welcomed uh two new members who are researching how pain can resolve purely through mind-body techniques uh moving forward from john sarno's

[1:15:52] famous book about healing your back pain that spontaneously happens while people read the book about healing the back pain and adam saffron is from michael levin's lab if you don't know that lab you should look it up it's one of the most creative and rigorous places uh to be working in academia and adam has published three papers while being here at least he submitted them he submitted them um this coming week uh we have we're kind of continuing with our first week we had a little bit of a consciousness track for the lunch and learn so we're just touching back on that mike johnson if

[1:16:23] you don't know him he's an absolute legend um he will be giving a fireside talk with luca from contemplative futures on wednesday at 11 and then max and adam we'll be talking at lunch i would highly recommend you make both of those talks they're going to be excellent and we are now opening up our internal residency demo days to the public starting this thursday i believe it's going to be at the loft at 4 p.m um big big stuff it's really fun but first week

[1:16:54] our house got way too crowded so we had to close it off from people um i'm going to really briefly bring up uh peter real quick to tell you about some experiments that he's doing uh yeah so this is partly inspired by all of the talks in the the first week that we gave by the consciousness residency on predictive processing uh so i came up with this experiment uh where i'm basically just gonna make a bunch of people report back on how they view illusions on and off different psychoactive substances

[1:17:28] so just to give you an idea of sort of the the background here uh this is a hollow mask illusion when it flips around most of you will not be able to see a hollow mask you will see the face kind of pop out and that's because your prior belief about how the brain or how the world looks is that faces are convex and not hollow and there's like an idea that psychedelics or other drugs or other psychoactives might break down your prior beliefs of this so i put together this survey with six

[1:18:00] different illusions or seven different illusions so the idea is that you first go through all of the illusions and report on different measurements on how you see them sober and then later if you happen to take a drug like i don't know mushrooms or ketamine or something else you can go through the illusions again report if there are any changes on different measurements and then send it back to me and then hopefully we can get closer to the relationship between altered states and predictive

[1:18:31] processing yeah thank you peter peter would like you to look at cool and next we have uh eric from our residency to talk about an experiment that is ongoing and some preliminary data yes so me and leo is part of the consciousness are researching what role non-ordinary states of consciousness can have not for healing which is where we see a lot of it applied in psychedelic therapy

[1:19:04] and meditation and so on but actually for insight generation for creative breakthroughs or ideas for decision making this kind of thing and we're running an experiment on this where we're leveraging a uh so leo runs as part of the intel uh institute for advanced consciousness studies and has developed a technodellic protocol that leverages sounds that induce chills and have over 500 participants been shown to induce states of self-transcendence in a majority of cases and we're leveraging that

[1:19:40] and a protocol around it for insight generation so if you have like a problem at work a creative problem something like that you've been stuck on you can be part of our experiment and see if it helps with that and here are some very early results of the first four people we did uh who handed us the results from last week's experiment and we can see that a majority of them actually got a meaningful amount of insight into their topic uh so yeah anyone want to be part of that it's at 1 p.m on monday and

[1:20:16] wednesday thank you eric so just a refresher there here's the list of experiments that are going on this week you can scan that qr code and just look on the schedule to find out where and when you can participate in each of the experiments we talked about and adding an additional one which is the vasocomputation study from johnson um which is an incredibly cool concept that you should look up basal computation if you don't know it already and one last thing i didn't have permission to talk about which is

[1:20:46] really apropos for what i'm about to talk about is grift city this is your opportunity next saturday to learn the mechanisms of what makes something an asymmetric exchange of value to learn how to either leverage or become legible in such things we're going to be hosting a griftathon where you can form cabals with your fellow grifters and come up with your schemes and scams or just outrageous offerings in general um we will be able to uh audit actual businesses right now and

[1:21:20] you can make your case for why they are or aren't a grift um you can also submit a talk on griftonomics griftonomics applied veganetics anything that you think might convince us otherwise i have a question here you guys might be feeling quite confronted at this moment um but that also makes you quite skilled uh i just think it's uh it's great for us to have fun with this to understand the mechanisms in uh marketing language and in value propositions in general and we'll have a demo day

[1:21:54] at the end of it as well which i think will work everyone and we'll be able to vote for your favorite grift using hermes coin uh the favorite greek trickster so that uh you can submit any talks presentations to me or you can just drop off a secret letter at the calderwood inn all right thank you wyatt i i love this things are exactly as they seem it says at the bottom which i think is just a

[1:22:26] beautiful mantra for the world all right um some quick announcements as bless you cara the dog sneezed um we have been recording the talks in the loft unless the speakers ask us not to do that they are published in a drive you can access them we get people reaching out saying where are the talks they are pinned in the key links and docs uh telegram topics so highly encourage you to check out those i actually vibe coded a script that transcribes them at 2am every day so you can also get the

[1:22:59] transcriptions if you're curious and those are going into the geo knowledge graph and also as a reminder there's a public calendar link so you can share that with your friends we spoke about this last week just as a reminder how you can help edge a couple other folks have been asking you know you're having an amazing time here if you want to give back one i added at the top that we didn't talk about last time is when you share about what's happening here we first of all highly encourage you to do that so write a blog post um share on instagram share on twitter linkedin etc we are at join edge city on

[1:23:35] all of those so we would absolutely love a tag it really helps us spread the word um probably next week or the week after we'll do a full kind of strategy breakdown session in the town hall where we will peel back the curtains on how we structure these events we'll talk about the budget of this event how that all works um we still have some space for folks to join us in weeks three and four so if you have friends that want to come up um we shared a direct checkout link and a discount code that you
