Session
This talk would explore the original cypherpunk ethos from an Anthropological lens discuss how it can evolve to stay relevant by considering the evolving global scenarios: to remain relevant, cypherpunk principles must expand beyond technical resistance alone and engage with broader societal concerns from a social science lens. It will argue for reframing privacy and censorship resistance as essential to collective safety and freedom, and for cypherpunk values to break from web3 discourse and gain a central place in the broad mainstream discourse.
