DESCRIPTION:The original vision of Ethereum was — at least nominally — 
 to build a "world computer". Before debating whether Ethereum has succeede
 d or failed in doing so\, or even whether the attempt itself is worthy\, w
 e must ask ourselves the question: what is a world computer\, and what wou
 ld it really mean to build one?\n\nIn this talk\, I will approach this que
 stion from first principles: who is this world\, what do they really want 
 from a "world computer"\, and what kinds of logical unity ("one world comp
 uter') are both desirable and possible? Considered seriously\, these quest
 ions imply substantially different design directions than those which the 
 Ethereum ecosystem has taken\, including a heterogeneous trust permissions
  system\, a interoperability-first virtual machine\, and a system architec
 ture which understands itself as more of an operating system and less of a
  "blockchain". I will detail these directions\, outline how they differ fr
 om the current technical Overton window\, and conclude the talk by briefly
  sketching a possible path forwards for the Ethereum ecosystem.
