8.6 Solarpunk Presents: The Protopian Prize

This episode, Ariel talks to Ruthanna Emrys and Gideon Lichfield, two of the judges of the inaugural Protopian Prize. Ruthanna will be judging the Democratic Futures prize, and Gideon will be judging the Public AI prize. We discuss just what each of those means, how they got involved with the Protopian Prize in the first place, and ideas and concepts that they would like to see submitted. The winners of each category will be published in a forthcoming MIT press anthology, which will be edited by Ruthanna and Gideon.

Aleya and Ariel then discuss the results of the past month's Patreon poll, what is your ideal political organization method? To shape the next poll discussion, vote on our Patreon linked below, it's free!
