## Resource

In this expansive episode of the VDAO Series, Gregory shares a sweeping journey across ecology, permaculture, economics, crypto, and community building all anchored in a bold thesis: Humans can become a planetary keystone species. Drawing on decades of work in regenerative design, supply chains, eco-villages, and Web3 infrastructure, Gregory explores how broken relationships between humans and the biosphere sit at the root of today's "meta-crisis" and how regeneration offers a practical path forward. From Alaska fisheries to intentional communities, from the Eight Forms of Capital to founding Regen Network, this conversation connects local land stewardship with global coordination technologies. Topics covered: • Keystone species thinking & planetary stewardship • Resilience vs antifragility in ecosystems and society • Origins in permaculture & eco-village movements • Environmentalism beyond doom narratives • Regeneration as a "third way" beyond political polarization • Degrowth vs regrowth debates • Traditional skills, technology & appropriate scale • The Eight Forms of Capital framework • Financial permaculture & local economics • Regen Network and ecological credit markets • Carbon, biodiversity & ecosystem service valuation • Blockchain as infrastructure for living capital accounting • Limits of supply-chain sustainability efforts • Personal resilience through land-based living • Rural-urban reconnection (Kuni model) • Community as the core of antifragility • Network nations & place-based coordination • Regeneration as the root solution to the meta-crisis The core message: The future isn't choosing between nature and technology. It's learning how to regenerate both together. greenpill.network vdao.org https://x.com/JoinVDAO https://x.com/greenpillnet https://x.com/g…
