Why I am a pluralist

I increasingly use the terms “pluralist” to describe myself and “Plurality” to describe the direction I want to see technology go in.^{[1] (opens in new tab)} This essay, following up on my “Why I am not” series ^{[2] (opens in new tab)}, tries to articulate what I mean by this and where it might lead us.

The piece filters through my academic-technologist lens many things I have learned since Eric Posner and I published Radical Markets, but more than anything what I have learned from my fellow RadicalxChange board members Danielle Allen, Audrey Tang and Christopher Kulendran Thomas.^{[3] (opens in new tab)} While the piece raises many more questions than it answers, my hope is that these will be precise enough, in a way they have not been in the past, to help stimulate a coherent Plurality agenda for technology.
