About this listen
This book will give you, the player, the tools to iterate on the beautiful game of civilization you find yourself in. Discover how civilization became the human-aligned superintelligence it is today. To defend this process into the future, we need to avoid two existential traps; dangers arising from uncontrolled technologies but also dangers arising from control. For that, players need to be free to cooperate when goals align but otherwise be left alone for independence. This strategy can be called voluntary cooperation.
There are a few concrete tools that will be crucial to master this strategy: cryptographic technologies that strengthen both cooperation and defense. From learning about how these tools shaped human cooperation thus far, we can learn how to apply them in the future, when it's not just humans but also other intelligences seeking to cooperate. This strategy is called intelligent voluntary cooperation.
