These days Iʻm learning more about systems science from indigenous Hawaiian scholars and teachers than from all the authors in my library. Elon Musk? Heʻs a genius and thinks systemically, no doubt, but does he articulate the science? As a libertarian, he misses big fat pieces of what makes a healthy society/system. Over time, weʻll see how his actions play out.

Now I have to read up on Vitalik Buterin!

I look forward to hearing/reading about what you've been learning from indigenous Hawaiian scholars and teachers! I also have similar questions about Musk.

Wikipedia is a great starting point to learn about more about Vitalik, and here's one of his more recent blog posts which gives some insight into his thinking and worldview
