I'm Brian Friel, developer relations at Phantom, and I'm super excited to introduce Ben Chow. Ben is the co-founder of Jupiter, the largest decentralized exchange aggregator on Solana, powering tens of millions of dollars in swaps every day. Ben, welcome to the show.Ben (00:30):Thank you for having me. I'm super excited to be here.Brian (00:33):Thanks for coming on. And so we have a lot to cover today, including an exciting announcement between Phantom and Jupiter. But before that, could you give us a brief overview of who you are and how you came to be involved with Jupiter?Ben (00:44):Sure, yeah. So hi everyone, my name is Ben. I'm one of the co-founders of Jupiter. I became involved in Jupiter actually through a few good friends of mine, Megan and Shawn. Probably unlike many people, I am relatively new to crypto, although at this point in time, I feel like an ancient person. The world moves. I think I've gone through a couple of cycles and a few different crypto projects, so it's been an amazing roller coaster ride of sorts.Ben (01:13):But as for my background, I'm a ex-IDEO product designer and longtime serial entrepreneur and startup founder. I've worked in a number of fields to be honest. Probably the most successful ones was that I was actually an early social gaming pioneer. I helped build a social gaming startup that was True Venture backed and later got acquired by Disney played him in a roll up.Ben (01:37):More recently, before Jupiter I was the co-founder CEO of a top 100 social app on the iOS store, and I also happen to have several patents and a lot of work in the medical product space. Probably the coolest one was I did an augmented reality surgical navigation system for cataract surgeons that we took to market, which was very cool.Ben (02:03):I would say the core team on Jupiter is pretty experienced. Megan and Shawn are probably the OG DeFi folks. They were a founding team or strategic advisor to InstadApp, RAPBTC, Kyber, Blockfolio, and a number of others. And I feel grateful and fortunate that they looped me in when they were thinking about building on Solana. So we're a pretty veteran team. We've all done a number of companies, a number of products. I feel very thankful that Solana is both an incredible ecosystem to build on, and this is an incredible time to be a builder. There's just so much value you can give because we're all super early, but also everyone is really smart, very talented, really great to work with. So it's just been an amazing time.Brian (02:53):So you have this wealth of startup experience across a ton of different domains. Was Solana your first blockchain ecosystem that you really sunk your teeth into and got involved with?Ben (03:03):Yes. Solana actually is my first. I don't have the stories that people have about Ethereum or Binance, and I don't have as much background in those. I really only know Solana very well. At the same time, I've also had to come up to speed on DeFi and crypto in general. So I have this really interesting depth of knowledge in a certain area, but not as much broad experience. Like when people talk about 2017 and the crypto winter, I didn't have those kind of experiences. I can talk shop now a little bit more around aggregation indexes, concentrated liquidity, derivatives, perpetuals, all sorts of stuff. I think one of the things that attracts me to crypto is that for any of the things I've always done, I just love to deep dive into a problem domain and learn as much as I can. And crypto is like this endless deep well of things you can learn.Brian (04:02):Yeah, the rabbit hole.Ben (04:04):Yeah. Literally, probably the deepest rabbit hole I've ever been in. And I've been in several. Doing surgical navigation systems are like this combination of understanding the business model, the user experience, the biomedical, the biophysical, every single layer of it is needed to really do something very interesting and cool. And the same can be said even more so with crypto.Brian (04:33):No, I agree a hundred percent. It's an endless learning experience. And so you mentioned your background. Back in the day you were at IDEO as a product designer. Most people, I would say, know Jupiter today because of the website you guys host at jup.ag. You guys have a really slick few clicks and you're swapping the best rate between different tokens on Solana. But you guys also offer a couple other ways to interface with Jupiter. Can you speak a little bit to how Jupiter works under the hood and how both users and developers can interact with what you guys have built?Ben (05:04):So we have an SDK and a API, and our vision for how we see Jupiter and how it relates to the rest of the ecosystem is that we want to be the swap infrastructure for all of Solana. And the single place that any project developer or user can easily access all of the liquidity and discover the best price trades for any token that they want to trade on in Solana. What that means is that if you're a developer... And I would say one reason why we've gotten a huge traction on developers building on top of Jupiter is that we make it really easy to do not only trades, but arbitrage trading. So if you're using our API, it's actually one of the easiest things you can do because it's language platform agnostic. It's literally one REST API call to get the best price routes, and then another API call to also get the transaction objects you need to send to actually do the swap.Ben (06:12):On the SDK side, it's a little bit more involved, but it's about three or four steps. You just have to load up the library and then put in your trade that you want and compute the routes. Right now, computing all the routes is done off chain and offline, and the reason for that is that we integrate currently 15 DEXs on Solana. And what that means is, basically we connect and route every single market there is on Solana. So you can think of all of Solana's liquidity as one big virtual DEX, and we have to create the routes for all that. That means that there's tons of routes, thousands and thousands of routes. And calculating the best price between all of them is actually computationally expensive and something that is very very hard to do on-chain. And so that is done in our SDK off-chain, and our API also leverages our SDK. So whenever we make improvements to our SDK, our API automatically gets them.Ben (07:13):There's a lot of work that happens on a daily basis. One, to optimize the routing algorithm, to make it more performant. Because as you can imagine, anytime you increase the number of tokens, and there are thousands of tokens on Solana, anytime there's new liquidity sources for those tokens, the complexity grows exponentially. So the number of permutations and combinations of routes grows ever greater, and calculating them in a way that's very fast for users. In some ways, a lot of market opportunities and best price routes don't live very long, right? So the route itself could be best price for only a block or a couple blocks before someone else snatches it. You want to be able to calculate these things very, very quickly. And so we do a lot of work optimizing the computation for it, and then also there's a lot of infrastructure work for anyone using the API to be able to make sure that it scales and is performant for all the people who are using the API.Brian (08:21):So I'd love to dig in more of the details, but before we do, we do have an exciting announcement to bring up today. And that is at the time that this show is being recorded, Phantom is set to release its brand new in-app swapper that's powered by Jupiter. We're super excited about this because it opens up a huge wide range of new markets and gives our users the best possible price across all pairs they're interested in trading. Can you guys speak a little bit to this integration and what this means for DeFi on Solana?Ben (08:48):So basically I think along with our mission, what it means to be a swap infrastructure, is that there's actually just a lot of work to make all this liquidity and any token available for anyone. What we want to do is make it easy for any project or any wallet to access this liquidity as simply and as seamlessly and as easy as possible. And that is so you can support the rich number of use cases there are for swaps, which could be streaming payments, being able to, if you're streaming a token that the recipient can receive the token in the token of their choice at the best rate possible. This is like purchasing NFTs, being able to purchase NFTs with any token, not just SOL or whatever the collections token is.Ben (09:35):If you don't have those things to be able to do that easily, simply in one click to power payments... So Solana payments, we work with MtnPay to help facilitate that. So you can purchase anything with any token that you have, not just USDC, but the person the recipient can receive in the token that they want, whether it's USDC or SOL or whatever, but someone can pay with the token that they want. So facilitating these interactions, that means that the simple thing that most developers do is they connect with one DEX, right? But that DEX may not have the best rates. That DEX may not have all the tokens.Ben (10:15):So a lot of tokens don't launch on every DEX. They launch on, it could be a Serum market or, or maybe a Raydium permissionless pool. And so being able to look at where the liquidity is, where the rates are, and make sure that people can easily access that with one API call or using our SDK is really important. And again, as Solana grows, as the number of tokens grow, as the number of projects come along, as a new markets come online, this stuff gets harder and harder, and more so because the latest DEXs that are coming online are actually much more complicated than the constant product AMMs that Solana first launched with.Ben (11:00):So we're seeing concentrated liquidity market makers, we're seeing proactive market makers, which are using Pyth or other price oracles to enable their market making. These things are very complicated to deal with and to integrate on top of them, but the reason to use them is that they offer amazing prices. So LIFINITY is one of the DEXs that we integrate with, along with Crema and Orca whirlpools, and their ability to give you competitive great prices for some of the popular token swaps is amazing.Ben (11:38):Because they have a lot more dependencies and they're a little bit more complicated, there are issues and there are corner cases to deal with. For example, because LIFINITY relies on a price oracle, in times of congestion that oracle could get behind and not be updated, and thus their ability to market make is hampered. Along with that, since everything is really early, we're usually the first people to work with anyone's SDK. It's usually in the early stages, and so doing things like having a really nice way to handle these errors and surface them to users where it makes sense to them, like, "Why is this something happening?" is an important job, and we're generally becoming sort of the interface between integrators and DEXs in terms of helping people like troubleshoot where bugs are in order to provide the best user experience for the end user.Brian (12:38):No, I think that user experience is everything at the end of the day, and that's why we're super excited about this integration. I remember a time on Solana when it was so simple, I could just open up maybe Saber, Orca, Raydium, a few other DEXs and have them all on one screen, and I could just compare different prices. But as you said, there's been a complete Cambrian explosion in different markets and different types of markets. And so you guys are doing great work to normalize that and make that a great user experience for everybody.Brian (13:05):Just real quick. You hit on a couple different types of these types of markets. AMMs, the classic example, and then there's concentrated liquidity, Orca's whirlpools have been a huge success recently. Solana's also unique in that we have central limit order books on chain, Serum. And then there's this concept also of professional market makers giving liquidity. Is there any other types of liquidity that you guys are aggregating, and how are you keeping up with these new innovations that are happening?Ben (13:31):There are a lot of interesting things going on. Probably the next set of integrations that will be more interesting for folks is that we are starting to integrate directly with minting and staking programs and not just liquidity pools. And the benefit there for folks is that normally these routes will have either no to very low slippage. So if you wanted to, for example, go from SOL to mSOL and you wanted to convert a million dollars worth of it, usually if it's in a pool, there's a great deal of slippage. But with these direct minting routes, there's almost none. Also, a lot of these minting, staking routes will have zero to low fees as well, because you're working directly with the protocol itself and there's no need to... A lot of times the fees are an incentive for LPs to deposit their liquidity and give them some incentive. If you're talking directly to the protocol itself, there's no need to take fees per se. So they could be zero to low things. So there's some really cool advantages.Brian (14:47):And you guys don't add a fee also, correct? You guys don't add a fee any of your trades.Ben (14:52):We also take zero fees, yes. We take a very long term view with Solana. We think it's super early. We want to grow the volumes in Solana. We want to grow Solana itself as well. And also we're very focused on making sure we deliver the absolute best price swaps to you, and charging a fee on top of DEX fees is not in our interest. We're not really here to extract value, more to give value to end users, developers and anyone that we work with.Brian (15:25):I think we're very aligned on the long term vision and the potential of Solana there. So what is the ultimate process like for integrating these new markets? I imagine, given the scale of your guys' infrastructure, it must be a fairly manual process to review these and normalize different markets. Is there a plan at all to make this in a way in the future where this could be a semi-permissionless thing, where people can add their own markets to Jupiter, or how complex is that integration today?Ben (15:52):For the most part, we've automated everything. So it's really not possible to manually check everything. If there's liquidity on Solana and a token in the token registry, we have it listed on Jupiter within minutes. And that's because we built out the infrastructure to automate everything as much as possible. So for instance, what that means is that for any DEX we aggregate with, we ask if they can provide an API on their markets that they are adding or removing. But because it's early days, not everyone has an API, so we have to do very interesting things, like if it's an open source SDK that the DEX has, we'll crawl the GitHub repo to see what markets they've added to the SDK. Whatever we can do to automate, we have done.Ben (16:39):Part of the promise that we have for Jupiter is the best token selection. So that means if there's some hot token that launches anywhere on Solana, that we've a DEX that we've integrated, we want you to be able to trade it instantly. And that's reason why any project can integrate with us. So if you integrate with us and you're a wallet and all of a sudden, some token blows up, you know that if you're using Jupiter, we've got it, and we've got the best price trades for it. There's a lot of infra work that happens on a daily basis. And again, I don't think anyone should have to replicate this work. So the goal for us to be infrastructure is that, look, you shouldn't have to worry about new tokens. You shouldn't have to worry about performance on routing or where the best price is, or what these dependencies and errors are from these DEXs.Ben (17:34):If you use Jupiter, our goal is to abstract away a lot of these things. So for you, it's just, "Okay, I want to trade this token. Give me the best route. Let me trade it." Now, we're still early. So I would say there's a lot of work to be done, again, not just on our part in our SDK, but for us as an interface to other DEXs and helping them discover what their bugs are, helping them have the right way of surfacing those errors to users in a way that makes sense to them. And then maybe giving users and integrators a choice of what kind of things that they prefer.Ben (18:15):For example, we've been learning that not everyone cares about best price. There are some people that are more like, "Look, I don't need best price. What I would like is like a route that would fail less often." So for example, Serum's liquidity being an essential limit order book is not very predictable compared to an AMM, right? So if you have tight slippage settings, as a trader, your trades may fail more often, whereas you'd really just want to make the trade. And so some folks may be like, "Well, if the best price is on Serum, I'd be okay with maybe not the best price if it's on a constant product AMM or something that I know if I do the trade, it's more likely to succeed." If you're one of those traders, we want to give you that option.Brian (19:07):Yeah, that's great. You know, you've hit on a lot here. One, just being the sheer complexity of what you guys do, given that just the exponential number of new routes that are coming online. You guys also, I believe you allow for multi hops between different routes, right? So it's not just, if I want to go SOL to USDC, I have to go find that pair. You can find an intermediary, same mSOL and then go to USDC. Is that right?Ben (19:30):Yes. So we support multi hop routes. Right now, it is up to two hops. And the benefit there is that one, if there's no direct market, you will still be able to swap between the tokens that you want in one transaction. So you don't have to do it manually in two or more. The other benefit is that it just so happens that you get the best prices by hopping through an intermediary. Because in Solana, the gas fees are so low, hopping through markets is very cheap. And a lot of markets that are either highly volatile or have some price inefficiencies allow you to route through them in order to get more token, really.Ben (20:18):Part of the complexity is actually just finding all these routes. So if you move to two hops, now the number of permutations is even more. And I would say, actually, one of the things that we're working on as a future roadmap item is actually to go beyond two hops. So more than two, say three hops. That's going to allow anyone to access even better price savings and, of course, increase the computation load. But what we're finding ways to optimize on that.Brian (20:48):So you guys have a wide range of users who are using this product. You hit a lot on the users who want the best price. This is probably your everyday retail trader like you or I who just wants to swap between different tokens. You also hit on the trader that just wants to be able to fail less. I imagine you have professional traders looking potentially to arbitrage via Jupiter. And then you also have this incredible SDK. I saw you guys recently announced you have over 42,000 downloads on this thing. Can you speak a little bit to who has been integrating these SDKs? Are these power users? Are these other dApps on Solana? And who is your kind of ideal consumer for these developer tools that you're building?Ben (21:26):So actually since that announcement, we're now at over 52,000 downloads.Brian (21:33):Two announcements on this podcast. I love it, breaking 50k.Ben (21:36):Yeah. So, you know the surprising thing, I mean, we have a lot of different folks who use us. I know of VCs who are using Jupiter to use them for arbitrage trading or playing with arbitrage trading. But the most surprising one is actually new developers, literally developers who are new to developing, and they are new to developing on Solana. And I know this because we spend a good deal of time supporting them and trying to help them out. We've lowered the bar for people who are interested in arbitrage trading. And so now it's just easier for, for folks to get more involved and actually learn to code. People are learning to code, so that's been a surprising thing to see. And there's nothing like free money really to draw people to learn to code.Brian (22:32):Right, to incentivize a new skill.Ben (22:34):Yeah. For us, we want to support anyone who wants to use Jupiter. And probably the more interesting ones are projects that have really interesting use cases. Obviously wallets are an amazing use case for us because you're at a really incredible touchpoint, a very close touchpoint with users. We're really excited about payments. I think while payments is early, it's got a huge potential. And letting anyone buy anything with any token is just super cool. And it doesn't have to be payments. It could be anything. I mentioned NFTs before, but we have a few projects that are doing stuff to make it easier to deposit into vaults. So Friktion uses us because a lot of their vaults take one type of asset, but the user may not have that asset. So why should they come to Jupiter swap, go back to that thing?Ben (23:31):By integrating us, their user gets to stay more on that site. It's fewer clicks, it's a quicker transaction. And because they're using Jupiter, and we want to make Jupiter work for our partners, we allow any partner to easily add their own sort of platform fee so that swaps can be a revenue source for them. And so actually, Friktion, I think they've done a good bit of volume just by adding Jupiter and having that as a revenue source. And there's a few others too. Like some DeFi Land was an early launch partner with us. So if you're swapping anything in their game, you're using Jupiter. We're starting to see some more interesting things come out of this.Brian (24:15):Yeah, I think this highlights two interesting things about Solana in particular. One, the composable nature, obviously. If you're doing something in Friktion with your portfolio management or you're playing a game with DeFi, it's as easy as just adding another instruction essentially, to swap into Jupiter. But then you also hit on another piece that I think doesn't get highlighted enough. This dovetails nicely with your story, that there's a lot of folks who Solana is their first experience at all in crypto, or as you highlighted, maybe ever even coding, which is, I think a really neat opportunity, bringing in new people with new perspectives on what this technology can do. It's pretty great.Ben (24:52):I really see Solana as the practical blockchain, right? It's the one that's going to be accessible for most retail users because it's cheap and fast, but also it's just got a great developer ecosystem of people building games and NFTs that are also just as accessible to the non-crypto enthusiast person. They're like, "Oh, I just want to play a cool game." Or, "I really love this NFT project," or something, "This collection." And to be able to do it with this great, fast, user experience, I feel like it's a hallmark of Solana. It's less about theoretical white papers and more about, "How can I build this great experience for someone to be able to engage with crypto in some way?"Brian (25:40):Yeah. Practical and also building something that users actually love and they enjoy using. So we've hit on a lot today. You guys are integrated across tons of different dApps. You have professional traders using you guys, VCs using you guys. Now with Phantom, we're making this super easy for anybody to swap an extension or on mobile on their phone, get the best price. What is the ultimate vision in your mind for Jupiter? Is this something that will always remain an aggregator, and is cross-chain something that would ever be on the horizon for you guys?Ben (26:13):Good question. A lot of people ask us this question. Currently, we work with some great partners to support the cross-chain use case. I'm not going to rule out cross-chain. There's definitely ways to do it. We're, I would say, a pretty lean team by choice. We just have really good people and I don't think anyone really wants to scale this into a big company with middle managers or anything. We just really like working with good people who are awesome at a lot of things and just moving fast. And because of that, the things that I think give us pause about cross-chain, at least for me, and this is something that we think about a lot is how to execute well on these things.Ben (26:56):And beyond the tech, the bigger thing to really tackle if you're going to do, cross-chain or multi-chain is how do you build a community on all these different chains, and without scaling to huge sizes? And so that's one reason why I think we work with partners, because it allows us to focus on what we do really well, and it allows us to focus and invest in the Solana ecosystem and the users and the community in Solana. We've got an amazing community, and it's because we spent time with them, and we invest in them, and try to give value to them. And I know the other ecosystems and communities on the other chains are very different. And so I don't know if we have yet a model for how to be very successful in those other chains and staying, operating the way we are currently operating.Ben (27:49):It doesn't preclude us from... It could be we figure out something, some way that really works for us and go after it. But for right now, we've got some great partners and we'd rather work with them. And that allows us to focus. I can't say this enough. I think great teams focus, because there's a lot of attractive, shiny new opportunities out there. And what would it be if we weren't relentless in our focus to give best price swaps for people, to make sure that we're always integrating to make sure that we're always improving the performance, to make sure that we're solving these issues. If we went off and chased after some shiny new thing, we really wouldn't be infrastructure. There's a lot of projects and users who depend on us. And so we want to make sure we can continue to deliver on that promise.Brian (28:38):Well, I think you guys have done an incredible job so far delivering on that promise. I know you guys are very highly respected in the Solana ecosystem, which brings us here to our final question we ask all our guests. Who is a builder that you admire in the Solana ecosystem?Ben (28:53):Besides you guys? Can I plug you guys? I mean, look, I'm going to plug you guys because, look. We're big fans of Phantom. I'll give another one, but I do want to say, I'm really personally very excited about our integration and work together. I think you guys have built by far one of the simplest and best wallet experiences out there. One reason why I'm really excited about our partnership is that I think you guys have taken that same simplicity and applied it to Jupiter and our integration, so not only do your users get the power and benefits of Jupiter's ability to get you the best priced token trades, but in a really simple interface that is very accessible for people who are not crypto natives, who don't know what slippage is, who don't know what price impact is, who, who don't know about the various DEXs or how these things work. And what they really want is just to be able to trade from one token that they have to something they heard is pretty awesome or they're really interested in.Ben (29:57):So I'm really excited personally for this integration. That said, separately, I will give a shout out to some other folks we really respect as builders. We're big fans of Friktion. I love their vibe as builders. And the new thing for me being in crypto is how important vibe is. So I don't think I've ever said that in any other industry or any other thing ever, but some of our best partners are just people that we vibe with. We get along. We share values around building. We share values and how we think about things. And it's funny to say these things here, but it makes so much sense now. And I feel one reason why I enjoy working in this space so much is that I never used to think about, do I share values with a partner?Ben (30:49):It's just more like, "Hey, is this valuable to you? Am I valuable? Are you valuable to me? Okay, let's do something." But now it's not just about are you doing something where there's mutual benefit, but do we share the same long term value? And a lot of this is mainly around, are you looking to extract value from the ecosystem? Are you looking to build value, give value to others and just build and ship? So I think Friktion is a great one.Ben (31:18):I've been also a fan of the Orca team for a long time. Also recently, we had STEPN on as an AMA and got to deep dive with Jan, one of the co-founders and have huge respect for that team and their journey as builders. For those who don't know those guys STEPN came about because they failed to raise funding. It was a bad time in the market for them, and so they had the ship. That was it. That was the answer. We can't raise money, so we got to build. We don't have enough time or resources to build a full game. Let's build this simpler thing.Brian (31:58):Yeah, the focus there.Ben (31:59):That focus and that urgency of shipping and building is great, is really, really great. And so I have huge respect for that.Brian (32:09):Well, you mentioned a bunch of great teams there. I know the feeling is mutual on Phantom's side, both between you guys and also you hit on Friktion, on STEPN, and Orca, many others as well, too many to list in this ecosystem. But yeah, the long term alignment, the focus, I think these are all great things that we believe in a hundred percent. Ben, this was a fantastic discussion. Thanks so much for coming on the show. We'd love to have you on again some time. Maybe we can check in on how the swapper's doing. In the meantime, how can people get in touch with Jupiter and how can they learn more about what you guys are building?Ben (32:38):Yeah, you can follow us on Twitter. So we're @JupiterExchange. I highly recommend anyone to join our Discord and our community there. We've got a fantastic community. You can join through discord.jup, jup.ag. Usually our community has the first look on any new announcement or any new cool thing that we have. We also are very, very responsive. The team is listening and responding all the time, both to developer and users. And a lot of the things that you see on Jupiter today came from the community, and a lot of the partnerships also came from the community. So we listen very closely and we also have good discussions with folks. And so if you get involved, you will have a very strong voice in where the future of Jupiter goes. So really encourage people to join the community.Brian (33:33):I love that. That's a great way to end it. Thanks so much, Ben.Ben (33:36):Sure. Thank you.

Welcome back to the Solana Podcast. It is Joe McCann here again as your guest host, and today we have a very special guest, founder and CEO of Dialect, Chris Osborn.Chris (00:23):Hey Joe, it's great to be here.Joe (00:25):It's great to have you. So I'm really excited about today's episode because what you are doing at Dialect, I think, unlocks a lot of really interesting use cases in the Solana ecosystem, but first I think it might be useful for the listeners to kind of get a sense of who you are, your background and frankly, how you even got started with Dialect.Chris (00:49):So my background is actually in physics. I did my PhD in Atomic Physics at Columbia University. So this WAs like laser cooling and trapping of atoms, precision time measurements and quantum computing stuff. I learned pretty quickly that what I really loved to do is write software and build technology, so I knew after graduating that I wanted to move to the West Coast and work on some cool technology problems. I actually had an opportunity to split the difference and I worked at Rigetti Computing. I don't know if you're familiar, they're a quantum computing startup and got to work on almost every part of their stack, including a lot of software and technology.I helped lead one of the three teams that launched quantum cloud services, which was like AWS for quantum computing, and that helped me realize that I really love kind of like bridging the gap between hard tech and consumer problems and how do users interact with hard tech, and got the itch to build a startup. So actually I started this company outside of crypto and participated in YC. We were building a consumer investing product and pivoted the company actually last fall or early last fall full force induced Solana and started building Dialect.Joe (02:01):Yeah, that's great. I mean, can you maybe just in a few words, like what is Dialect?Chris (02:07):Yeah, so with Dialect what we're doing is we're building what we're calling a smart messaging protocol for DApp notifications and wallet-to-wallet chat. Those are the first two use cases that we're working on. And the best way to think about it is kind of like a decentralized inbox, a way to enable the messaging primitive between wallets. I personally like to think about kind of like hair on fire burning use cases, the things that people need today, and one of the major use cases here is giving DApps a way to connect directly with their users. And that's through the main mechanism that users identify themselves on the blockchain, which is with wallets.Joe (02:46):So cool. So, I mean, I remember meeting you many, many months ago last year and was really blown away because one of the kind of gaps that I was seeing in a lot of Web 3.0 Applications, irrespective of the underlying chain, was the ability to have like native notifications that are genuinely on chain and not using a service like Twilio or a Web 2.0 or cloud computing context. So the users kind of better understand what Dialect is and can enable, you can kind of walk through maybe some canonical use cases of Dialect?Chris (03:22):Yeah, absolutely. So the use case that got me into it right away like that first just really compelling use case is if you're using a collateralized lending protocol. You lend in token A and you borrow out token B and as prices move, if you become under collateral, the protocol or many protocols will end up liquidating your collateral on an underlying market. And in a world without messages and notifications, basically up until today, a lot of early DeFi users relied on just like a poll mechanism. Like I got to constantly come back to this product and refresh the browser and see how are my positions doing? And there've actually been some like kind of remarkable situations where when there were dramatic price movements, people could see that there was a wallet address on chain that was at risk of a very large liquidation and folks were like, "How do we get in touch with this user? How do we actually contact them and let them know that there's a problem?"And so there's no question that there's like a huge need here. Liquidations were the start, we're now working with projects across DeFi in various capacities, DAOs is another really big use case we can talk about in a little bit and NFTs. So alerts about really important situations, obviously those are kind of like that first use case, but the holy grail with messaging is user retention and engagement. So even if you get beyond emergency situations across whether it's like NFTs and more social, or whether it's DAOs and collaboration, there's just like infinite use cases for technology like this.Joe (04:58):That's really cool. I mean, I agree. It feels like almost every Web 3.0 project or protocol is going to need notifications in some capacity. I mean, I know myself I've been in those positions where I need to add more collateral to a position and I have to keep going back to it, or more recently using some of the structured product vaults that are out there where you can... if you want to say redeem some of your investment, maybe the interest that you've earned, you have to just kind of set a calendar invite.Chris (05:27):That's exactly right. That's right.Joe (05:28):Yeah. So to me that's some friction for end users, but it seems like a solvable problem and it sounds like that's what Dialect is doing. But I'm curious because today in like a Web 2.0 Kind of cloudy world, push notifications, email notifications, in-browser notifications, they just seem so commonplace to implement. So why is it that you think that this hasn't really been a thing yet in Web 3.0 ? What's been kind of the blocker and maybe then we can talk about why you chose Solana?Chris (06:01):Yeah, this is actually a really... This is a super cool problem. The blocker is the following, and obviously nothing's ever truly a strict blocker, it's really just a question of sort of like what are your priorities and what are you working on? So in Web 2.0if you're like a typical startup, you're already running some backend service that's got a database and it's got some synchronous and asynchronous processes. And if you're building in Web 2.0, there's tons of Web 2.0 tooling to support you. And so right into one of those backend services, you can sign up for Twilio, get your authentication keys, store them as environment variables and then anytime there's a specific process where you want to send a user a text message, you just fire it off. Same exact kind of Web 2.0 SaaS system exists for Apple push notifications, Android, SendGrid email, all that. Where things get interesting in Web 3.0 is typically, and especially with like the more really Web 3.0 native projects, whether that's in DeFi, NFTs, wherever, your backend is the blockchain.And there's some basic things that are different with most blockchains like Solana or Ethereum, and that's that most information is public. So you can't store sort of like secret credentials on chain and then in addition, you can't make HTTP requests to some other SaaS. So like the SaaS model breaks down when you start building in blockchain, so if you want to support these use cases for your users, you basically have to like expand your engineering footprint, spin up some Web 2.0 services that perform two processes. One is monitor the blockchain for the events that you care about and then number two is decide that you're going to send messages accordingly, whether that's like Twilio, email or push notifications. So that's part one and then part two, to answer your question about why Solana, and this comes back to my personal journey in crypto.So a friend told me about Bitcoin way back in like 2011. Around that time, I was first exposed to the proof of work concept. It's like easily top five most incredible things that I've learned in my life. I didn't start working in crypto until now, but that had a huge impact on me and I've been following along with everything that's been happening in crypto since then. So heard about Ethereum in 2016 when it... I think it launched in 2016. And what Bitcoin did with proof of work decentralization and then Ethereum did for generalizing compute on-chain and in a decentralized fashion, I discovered Solana in late 2020, I think early October, 2020. For me what Bitcoin and Ethereum did, Solana's proof of history and how it scales technology for ultra fast transaction settlement times, ultra low transaction fee costs, that to me was as impactful. So I see that in the direct lineage of technology.So, that was like late 2020, and DeFi Summer was in full force. I was starting to use more and more technology like more and more Web 3.0 native apps. Over the course of that year I mentioned I was working on a separate project, I saw the Solana ecosystem just absolutely explode. It was like a literal Cambrian explosion. So by the time it was like late summer of 2021, I was taking a hard look at what I was currently working on and then I was looking at Solana and saying every extra week that I'm not working on solana is just a huge missed opportunity. And pulled the trigger and moved full force into Solana. Solana's transaction costs and speed opened up an enormous new design space that is really not feasible if you want to build a truly on-chain messaging system on some other blockchains.So if you're looking at fractions of a tenth of a penny in terms of the transaction costs and then subsecond, you know 400 millisecond block times, that enables a very large new design space. So what I saw at the time was this opportunity to build a whole new SaaS layers. So with Dialect we're building developer tooling, we want to provide this end user experience for developers to build into their own DApps. And when you have any orders of magnitude improvement in performance, it just opens up a very large new space to build in, so to me it was a no brainer. There was no question in my mind. So I've been a blockchain enthusiast for over 10 years, but Solana was that threshold. That was sort of that Rubicon where I just knew this is this, it's now time to build.Joe (10:22):Yeah. I mean, I feel like in other ecosystems, something like this... I don't want to say it's not possible, it just seems like it's impractical. And I think Solana's design where it has this incredibly cheap transaction fee and speed is perfectly suited for something like Dialect and on-chain messaging, if you will. But have you dug into say other chains like maybe something in the Cosmos Ecosystem or even just Ethereum? And did you evaluate whether or not this could be done or was it just kind of like at the baseline look, Ethereum is like pretty expensive for transaction and relatively slow block times, this is just going to work for say push notifications or wallet-to-wallet messaging?Chris (11:12):Yeah, so that's a great question. I would say the following: there are some wallet-to-wallet chat and communication tools on Ethereum and with many of them, what you do is you authenticate with your wallet, but the messages may be stored off-chain somewhere else. And that's not obviously a total deal breaker. In general, I think the authentication problem... I know it's not specific to messaging, but it obviously takes really like a front seat in messaging of who's sending these messages, and the general problem of authenticating with your wallet is just a fun design space. So we're personally really excited to see messaging come online on some other blockchains. If you really want to run a fully on-chain experience where the message source of truth is on-chain, Solana really has several orders of magnitude on a lot of these competing chains.Not that that's necessarily the future that exists long term, it may actually make sense for there to be more of a data centric L1 that stores these messages. And so the choice for us coming full circle on this question is Solana presented an opportunity for us to build relatively small architectural footprint. That means let's just keep as much on Solana as possible. We're decentralized first, we're not storing any messages in say fire base or any other Web2 services, and really provide that great experience, and it's really just a question now of where go.Messaging between wallet is such an important and compelling use case, and I think we're seeing a lot more projects come online now that this problem's inevitably going to be solved in a cross chain manner. We are excited about that future, but we're a hundred percent focused on Solana for now. We also say, I didn't necessarily explicitly say this earlier, but Solana's proof of history concept and the way that it works, some of the first podcasts I listened to about that in summer and fall of 2020, just really blew my mind. So another big piece of it is go where there's just exciting technology, where the developers are extremely talented and everybody's really enthusiastic. For us, there's just a no brainer, we a blast on Solana.Joe (13:15):I hear that very, very often these days, there's been quite a bit of interest from developers; in a lot of cases, developers who have never written an Ethereum app or any sort of other Web 3.0 app or just diving into Solana and loving it. So speaking of developers, as a developer, how do I use Dialect? Can you kind of walk us through the scenario? Is there an SDK? Is there a token I need to have? What is the kind of process if I'm a protocol or a project today that wants or needs on-chain messaging or notifications for my protocol or project? How do I get started?Chris (13:54):Let me answer in two parts. Number one is what you do today. Our messaging protocol is live and audited on the Solana main net, and we have open sourced our protocol and Web 3.0 client we build with Anchor. I really love anchor, it's one of our favorite toolkits we've worked with. So you can import that Web 3.0 client directly into your web app or some other process, some other service that you're running and you can get started sending messages right away. As I mentioned, even for DApp notifications, the primitive is wallet-to-wallet messaging. So in the same way that you might receive an email from a business, some kind of notification they're sending from an email address that they manages the business, the same thing goes here; you manage a key pair that you do your messaging with. So you can import our protocol and just start sending and receiving messages.The main way that most projects interact with our tooling is two-part though, two layers on top of that core protocol. Number one is if you're a DApp and you need to send a notification to a user or a message saying that they're at risk of liquidation, let's come back to this liquidation example. You need to be monitoring the blockchain to detect that there's this event where you then programmatically send the messages. The same thing goes historically with Twilio or SendGrid, you incorporate this code into your services. So like we talked about earlier, you need to be running these off-chain services that help determine that events are happening and to write messages. And we offer open source tooling around this, it's called our monitor framework and our monitoring service, which is our opinionated way about how to host that. And you can then basically spin this up yourself, or you can host with us and you use that to write the very minimal code that's specific to your protocol.So let's say you have some way to query for the users or the wallets obligations, which is a term that lending protocols use, and you can get your collateral health or your risk of liquidation directly from that data. Our monitoring service allows you to fetch that data, basically write the code that's specific to your protocol and then that gets piped into kind of like a reactive framework that we use to determine whether or not to send messages. So this is monitoring tooling that's specifically custom built for figuring out to send a message and it can work very flexibly with other kinds of tooling. Maybe it's like you've got a Kafka messaging queue, or some other kinds of... Some projects actually have fairly sophisticated Web 2.0 infrastructure, but they're still interested in working with us because we handle the hard problem to just making sure at most one and just at least one message get fired off to a user.The second half is how do you surface these messages to users? So today what we're solving, what we're live with are what we're calling in-app notifications. So think about your favorite Web 2.0 product; you sign in, and maybe somewhere in the nav bar you see a little notification bell and it's a button and you can click to see that there are messages or something you need to know about from that product. Today, we offer basically like a single React component. We're prioritizing React, most projects, web apps are built in React, where you can drop that single component into the nav bar of your DApp and right out of the box if a user clicks that notification, they have the opportunity to fully onboard to the notification experience all within that single component. So it's like a model that pops up that allows you to say yes, I'd like to enable notifications for this app.And then once you've done that, you can kind of see what are you going to get notifications around. So it might be warnings about pending liquidations, it might be liquidations themselves, it might be actually more receipt style messages. So it might be an order filled if you're using a DEX where orders fill asynchronously, it can be things around DAO collaborations. So one of the major use cases that DAOs we've been speaking to have been interested in is engagement and retention on voting. So you might receive notifications from a DAO telling you that you have six hours left to vote on a proposal, or that there's a new proposal, or that maybe you're near a quorum on the voting threshold needed to pass or reject a proposal. So there's all these different use cases and really you get that right out of the box directly in your nav bar with this single React component. So that's in-app notifications.What's coming soon and coming back to this question of just the broader messaging thesis, we're launching support soon for email, Telegram, possibly text message, other kinds of Web 2.0 means because the reality is even if the thesis and the vision is fully on-chain messaging, we live in a world where many users rely on and really appreciate getting messages via Web 2.0. So email's a no-brainer, and a lot of projects have asked us to support that so that's coming online very soon. And then Telegram is a little more of like a Web 3.0 native messaging solution that's still off-chain, and a lot of projects have asked us for support on that. So you can think of the Dialect standard as both the on-chain messaging standard, as well as a suite of really out of the box tooling to allow DApps to reach their users however they want.Joe (19:13):What's really interesting about how you're thinking about building out your company and the protocol and kind of the suite of products is that it reminds me of kind of like early days of Twilio. So I wrote a blog post many years ago, probably 10 years ago now about how over-the-top messaging was really kind of this new platform play. We've seen through the myriad messaging apps and then kind of the power of iMessage on Apple and the blue bubble versus the green bubble. I think there's now a regulation coming out of the EU that all these messaging apps have to inter-op with each other. But that took many, many years and I think Twilio really captured a lot of the developer mind share around creating these kind of suites of messaging products and it started with SMS. And so you mentioned something like Telegram, which I think everybody in crypto lives and dies in Telegram. I can barely keep up with myself.Chris (20:17):That's right.Joe (20:17):I've written some Telegram bots and they're pretty easy if you have a fundamental understanding of how webhooks work. Is that something that Dialects will enable? Is that like maybe some arbitrary webhook could fire? Or is it something that needs to be actually he baked into the on-chain program itself?Chris (20:34):Yeah, so it's not actually for support. We want to keep the part on-chain as light and simple as possible and so you can think of these web two channels such as Telegram as really just parallel rails. So you have the detection of an event that a user wants to hear about and that's monitoring data on-chain, and then you have various channels which may purely be in one user's case, "Oh, I just want to get an email, or I just want to get a Telegram message from a bot that's managed by the project." The developer experience around Twilio and Telegram and whatnot are excellent, but what Dialect provides here, if a DApp is interested in reaching their users by these means is you just get it all out of the box right away. You write a little snippet of code that fetches the data that determines if a message needs to be sent, and then you say how you want each message to look and that's really all you have to think about.The user will choose how they want to be gotten in touch with directly through the front end tooling that we provide. I think it was actually you, Joe, who mentioned this to us, that one of the key metrics is time to success. Crypto is moving at just an absolute lightning pace and while every project that we've talked to really wants this tooling, it's never quite the first priority that they have. So what we're trying to do is really make that as simple as possible for these projects to integrate us.Joe (21:53):So let's talk about some of the categories that exist, not just broadly in Web 3.0, but I would argue is probably more suited towards Solana, particularly the payment space. So Solana Pay has launched, there's lot of people building a lot of really interesting stuff with Solana Pay from point of sale solutions to web apps and mobile apps, et cetera. Can you kind of walk me through an example of how say someone that wants to build something with Solana Pay would utilize Dialect. Chris (22:26):Yeah, this is actually a really fun topic. Ever since Solana Pay got launched, the team and I have just been super excited about the messaging use cases there. This is also a good template for talking about our smart messaging thesis, so I'm going to segue from Solana Pay into a broader discussion here, but I would start by saying the following: Solana Pay is a standard for being able to perform transactions, being able to perform transfers between wallets on-chain and there is a very compelling messaging use case here. If you think about some of the standards in Web 2.0 , whether it's Apple Pay for transferring, or Venmo or Square Cash, that kind of dynamic experience of being able to message between users and actually take action on the message. One of our key insights with Dialect is this smart messaging standard we're building toward, and you can think of that kind of like an interactive link preview.In every DApp that you use where you connect your wallet, you have signing privileges everywhere. And so where we're building and this... A few minutes ago I said, "Here's where Dialect is today and the question is where we're going." In this smart messaging future, we're allowing users to send basically interactive link previews and you can think of a transfer request as one of the simplest use cases there. So for example, if you want to send a transfer request by a Dialect message to one of your friends directly at their wallet address, you can send that and then they can take action right in the message, whether that's scanning a QR code that's rendered for them, or it's clicking a send payment message. Coming back to some of the use cases we talked a little while ago about such as liquidation, warnings or DAO proposals and voting prompts, the holy grail in user retention and engagement is being able to reach them and have them be able to take action right where you're messaging with them.In Web 2.0 beyond these app specific use cases, whether it's a Venmo transfer request or similar, most of the time if you get an email, there's a link in the email and you have to click that and go out to another app. And maybe you're not logged in on your phone so you say, "Okay, in five hours when I'm back at my computer I'll take care of this." Or similar with a text message. What's really unique about messaging in Web 3.0 is that we can build a standard where you can take action right in the message. So whether it's Solana Pay, whether it's a vote yes or a vote no on a proposal, or it's a quick deposit to top up your collateral to avoid liquidation, any of those things with Dialect and our smart messaging standard, what we're building toward is that kind of Web 3.0 native future. So the last thing I would say about this is, yes, it's true that messaging and notifications are this really critical missing piece of Web 3.0 and it's just a really known hair on fire problem. When we got started on Dialect, the question we asked ourselves is not just how we fill in that missing piece, but also how we take Web 3.0to a place that Web 2.0 can't as easily go. And this is because our thesis is Web 3.0 is going to reach mass adoption because of exciting and really compelling delightful new use cases that products are going to start to come online, whether they take advantage of universal authentication like we're talking about now, whether they take advantage of composability of sort of the global shared state of all the data existing on a single blockchain, those are the use cases that are going to make it really compelling for the first billion users to onboard to Web 3.0. This is our thesis with smart messaging and Solana Pay is a really key and interesting part of that picture.Joe (26:18):I'll be honest, that is fascinating because one of the cool things about what you're mentioning is that push notifications or in-app notifications become actionable. You can actually do something right there-Chris (26:33):That's right.Joe (26:34):... versus it being this sort of delayed or async process. And so the use cases really open up pretty dramatically because of the fact that these messages are now interactive and you can do things with them.Chris (26:50):That's right.Joe (26:50):And have you guys thought through maybe where this could potentially work in like the context of a video game or even like the metaverse? There's a lot of Web 3.0 games/metaverse type environments being created and I'm curious if sort of in-game messaging makes sense or if it's something that is slightly different?Chris (27:18):Yeah, in-game messaging I think is a fantastic use case, and we've spent a little less time talking to gaming projects. I think just because that's a little early on, as we have say, talking to DeFi, NFT, DAO projects. But one of the things I'm most excited about is sort of the universality of NFTs as assets and all of the infrastructure that's being built around the things that you achieve and the assets that you acquire in-game end up having a life and a value beyond that game. It's really compelling to us that there be interactive sort of like smart message experiences around that content, at the very least. So I think gaming is an incredibly exciting in use case.Joe (28:05):Awesome. Yeah, I could see a lot of really cool integrations being utilized there and they just kind of don't exist today. I mean, frankly, there aren't a lot of Web 3.0 games period, but I know a lot of them are coming online later this year. What about like the traction of the company and folks that you're working with today? I know since you pivoted Dialect into this smart messaging protocol business things have really started to heat up. Can you talk about maybe how many people you're kind of signing up or any projects that are currently utilizing your product today?Chris (28:38):Yeah, that's right. We're talking to a few dozen projects right now across a lot of the verticals that I mentioned earlier. We're going live with a handful of our first projects that we've publicly announced so far. So that includes Squads and meaning on the DAO tooling side, Jet Protocol on the lending side, Bridgesplit on the NFT and NFT fractionalization space. Oh, on protocol Friktion is another project, you mentioned structured products earlier and it's been a real joy working with them. One of the things that we believe is it's best to like dog food your own tooling to make it better. So we've just straight up been rolling our sleeves up to help build out with them, and that helps us get better and better at our developer tooling.Then there's just this other wave, as I mentioned, a few dozen other projects that we can't talk about quite yet, but are extremely excited to support. And to support all these projects, we've also been growing the team pretty quickly as well. So there's a lot going on right now and as we talked about earlier, it's an incredibly compelling use case. This technology has to exist, at the very least receiving an email or a text message or a Telegram message. But where things really catch and where we really have a great time with our conversations is around this smart messaging future that we're building out, and that's when I think folks get really excited about the opportunity.Joe (30:07):Yeah. I mean, I completely agree. It's really hard to imagine a scenario where an app isn't going to need some form of messaging or notifications. And given the direction and the future of the company and where you guys want to take the product and protocol, it seems inevitable that folks are going to be adopting this. So maybe talk a little bit about how you're envisioning the future. You know, you have a very specific view into what you're doing with Dialect, but by engaging with all these different projects and protocols, you can get like an interesting view into what things are happening, what things are coming out soon, and maybe where you see things heading. The space is evolving and changing so rapidly and quickly that it's hard to predict anything, but what are some things that you kind of see in the future not necessarily just for Dialect, but also you Web 3.0 in general and how maybe Dialect plays a role in that?Chris (31:05):Yeah. I think if there were a single theme and I'm not alone in saying this, it's just really what got me into crypto in the first place and it's incredible to see it beginning to happen. I would say the thesis here is composability, so any blockchain that really makes global shared state a possibility. I think it might have been Chris Dixon who said composability is like compounding interest, it just causes this exponential runaway in technology. And the things I'm most excited about and we are most excited about at Dialect is that composability. So whether it's being able to exchange information and perform financial actions between DeFi protocols or it's the financialization that's going into some gaming tools that are coming online, like you said, that rely on some DeFi infrastructure like... To me, this is why it's going to be the sort of killer consumer experiences that come of composability and global shared state that are really going to make for the next big wave in Web 3.0.Chris (32:09):And the way we're interested in that in our own small way with Dialect, and I didn't mention this earlier, is one of our visions here with smart messaging is creating a kind of decentralized inbox. So as we mentioned, our tooling today supports these on chain messages delivered directly to any given DApp where the user enables and then can consume those messages in the DApp itself. But those messages can be consumed by anyone and so there's this other half of the problem that we're working on that's coming online soon, where for example, a mobile wallet could have an entire inbox and messaging section. And now you're talking about no matter which DApps you've enabled, you're receiving a true iOS or Android push notification directly to that mobile messaging experience that you have there, and that's just yet another example of composability. And so, like I said, I'm not alone in being incredibly excited about this but it really is, I think, the kind of compounding developer experience that's just going to create a whole new set of really exciting consumer... Like a new kind of internet consumer experience.Joe (33:18):That's awesome and I agree. I think one of the areas that is no short of discussion in Web 3.0 is NFTs. I've talked about this on some Twitter spaces and other podcasts where right now we're just kind of in the infancy of what NFTs can unlock. You know, there's obviously the art aspect of it, there's in video game assets, et cetera, et cetera. But one of the things that I am interested to hear your take on, and maybe how this correlates to Dialect is NFT is in a person's wallet, it's on chain, but the person interacting with the wallet is a customer, a user, and I think a lot of companies want to be able to engage with their customers and users more directly. So is there a scenario where I have an NFT in my wallet and depending on the NFT mentor or something, maybe it's a brand, maybe it's a company, maybe it's an artist, maybe it's a musician, has a way to either via the NFT directly or utilizing Dialect, be able to kind of communicate with me directly?Joe (34:31):An example I always give is imagine Starbucks wants to airdrop, I don't know, some seasonal loyalty program thing, right? Christmas, Easter, or whatever, spring break, you name it, and it's for people that have this NFT in their wallet and they want to airdrop them something or be able to communicate with them. Is this something that Dialect would unlock or do you think this is something that's more kind of NFT specific?Chris (34:55):To be honest, I thought you'd never ask about this. This is this third part of smart messaging that we are just beyond excited about. It touches on a few different things, but maybe I'll just say briefly that another key aspect of Web 2.0 messaging that I think to many of us feels very broken is this question of sort of like cold inbound and marketing and spam. With Web 3.0's inherent financialization, there is this very natural situation where you can basically tokenize messaging and create markets around how different entities communicate with each other. And on the two extremes there, or maybe let's talk about three, two to three points on the spectrum here. If you Joe and I just want to message with each other, there's sort of mutual opt-in in the exchange of a token and we can just message with each other.Similarly, if there's a business that I really love and I want to opt-in let's say, like you mentioned, I think you said Starbucks, I'll opt into that and there may be some implicit under the hood kind of exchange of a token that allows for that messaging. There's also scenarios where businesses want to get in touch with individuals that they think are high value, and that's a cold inbound scenario. In that scenario, a business might need to actually buy one of these tokens of yours on an exchange in order to engage with you.By financializing that component of cold inbound, I think one, it creates a much more harmonious kind of like cold messaging experience in Web 3.0 that in many ways is a bit much in Web 2.0, but in the mutual opt-in scenario or the messaging is effectively like vanishingly small cost or effectively free. And powering all of this, kind of coming back to your point about NFTs, is the NFT primitive. So this is a technology in an architecture we're exploring right now and it's very likely that NFTs will serve that use case. It's a kind of technology in a use case that we're just like beyond excited about.Joe (36:59):Fascinating conversation today with you, Chris. I really appreciate it. The future's bright for Dialect, the use cases that you've outlined are kind of no brainers, but what I'm really excited about is what we unlock in a Web 3.0 native context for smart messaging. I want to thank you today for joining the Solana Podcast. How can people actually get in contact with you? Are you on Telegram or Twitter? If they want to contact Dialect and get in touch, what's the best way of doing that?Chris (37:26):Yeah, the best way to get in touch with us is on Twitter and our Twitter handle is @saydialect, that's S-A-Y D-I-A-L-E-C-T. We love engaging with the community. Developer feedback, we live and die off of that, and so if you have complaints about our technology, have feature requests, any of that, send it our way. We're also on Discord. We have a Discord community, you can join that from our bio in Twitter. And then the last thing I would say is we're hiring, and so if this technology is interesting to you, we would love, love, love to work with you.Joe (38:02):Well, you heard it here first folks. Chris Osborn, computer scientist in the quantum physics space turned smart messaging protocol engineer and architect. Chris, thanks so much for joining the Solana Podcast. Looking forward to chatting with you again soon. See ya.Chris (38:18):Thank you very much, Joe. It was my pleasure.

Neuer Beitrag von Matthias Horx zur Ukraine, der sachlich, empathisch und vielschichtig auf die aktuelle Situation und Zukunft schaut.   Hier geht es zum Blogbeitrag: https://ms-perspektive.de/kolumne-94-von-matthias-horx-die-kunst-des-siegens Diesmal veröffentliche eine Kolumne von Matthias Horx zur Ukraine-Krise in Text- und Audioform. Mir hat es gut getan, den Beitrag zu lesen. Ich habe darin eine Erklärung für meine Zerrissenheit bezüglich der Maßnahmen gefunden, auf welche militärische Art die Ukraine unterstützt werden sollte, aber auch Hoffnung, dass sich ein derartiger Angriffskrieg langfristig immer zu einer Niederlage für den Aggressor herausstellen wird. Vielleicht hilft es Dir auch. Der nachfolgende Text stammt aus der Zukunfts-Kolumne von Matthias Horx: www.horx.com/die-zukunfts-kolumne Siehe auch: www.zukunftsinstitut.de. Kann die Ukraine tatsächlich diesen Krieg „gewinnen“? Über politische Klugheit und die Weisheit der Zukunft. © www.facebook.com/woskerskiART „Wenn du dich und den Feind kennst, brauchst du den Ausgang von hundert Schlachten nicht zu fürchten. Wenn du dich selbst kennst, doch nicht den Feind, wirst du für jeden Sieg, den du erringst, eine Niederlage erleiden. Wenn du weder den Feind noch dich selbst kennst, wirst du in jeder Schlacht unterliegen.“ — Sun Tzu, Die Kunst des Krieges 1. Die Botschaft des Dr. Seltsam Vor knapp sieben Jahren, im Juli 2015, kam es in Wladimir Putins Staatsresidenz, 30 Kilometer vor Moskau, zu einer denkwürdigen Begegnung. Oliver Stone, der Regisseur des amerikanischen Moral-Humanismus, Vietnam-Veteran und Regisseur von Filmen wie Platoon oder JFK, drehte einen Dokumentarfilm über den Staatsmann Putin. Um sich ihm zu nähern, führte er dem heutigen russischen Diktator einen Film vor. Der Film hieß „Dr. Seltsam oder wie ich lernte, die Bombe zu lieben.“ Ein Meisterwerk von Stanley Kubrick aus dem Jahr 1964. Und das beste: Oliver Stone filmte die Reaktionen Putins: www.irishtimes.com In Kubrick‘s Apokalypse-Komödie kommt ein halbverrückter Spieltheoretiker und „Prophet“ mit seltsamem Akzent vor (Dr. Seltsam, gespielt von Peter Sellers). Dr. Seltsam weiß alles über die Zukunft, und weil er alles weiß, ist er verrückt geworden. Eine weitere Schlüsselrolle spielt ein amerikanischer General, der besessen ist von der Idee, die Kommunisten hätten chemische Substanzen ins Trinkwasser gemixt, um die „bodily fluids“ der Amerikaner zu verderben. Männer werden dadurch impotent. Querdenker gab es auch damals schon. Nicht nur im Film wimmelte es von Verschwörungsdenkern. Im Plot von „Dr. Seltsam“ wird das Konzept der nuklearen Abschreckung durch einen „system flaw“ – einen idiotischen Zufall – ausgehebelt. Die Strategen des CIA haben „zufällig“ vergessen, der russischen Gegenseite mitzuteilen, dass sie eine DOOMSDAY-Maschine konstruiert haben. Einen automatischen Startmechanismus der Atomraketen für den Fall eines Angriffs. Falls der Präsident zögern sollte, den roten Knopf zu drücken, werden alle Raketen und Bomber im Fall eines Angriffs unverzüglich auf RED ALERT und Abschuss gestellt. Deshalb lässt sich ein Irrtum nicht mehr korrigieren. Am Schluss reitet ein amerikanischer Bomberpilot juchzend auf einer Wasserstoffbombe auf Russlands Boden zu. Er sieht die Bombe als ein wildes Pferd, das er zähmen muss. Das Narrativ des Cowboys, eines uramerikanischen Motivs. Wladimir Putin und der Regisseur Oliver Stone beim Viewing des Films „Dr. Seltsam oder wie ich lernte die Bombe zu lieben“, Juli 2015 © www.irishtimes.com Putin fiel zu dem Film irgendwie nicht viel ein. „Es gibt einiges in dem Film, was uns nachdenklich macht…“, sagte er im anschließenden Gespräch. „Eigentlich hat sich ja seitdem nicht viel verändert… Es ist heute noch schwieriger und gefährlicher solche Waffensysteme zu kontrollieren…“ © www.irishtimes.com Beim Abgang überreicht Stone Putin einen Umschlag mit der DVD des Films. Putin tritt durch eine Tür, öffnet den Umschlag, und kommt noch einmal zurück. „Typisches amerikanisches Geschenk! Nichts drin!“ Er hält die leere Hülle der DVD in den Händen. Oliver Stone entschuldigt sich und holt die DVD aus dem Abspielgerät. Man verabschiedet sich. 2. Schwere Waffen Kann die Ukraine diesen Krieg wirklich gewinnen? Darüber bilden sich jetzt in Medien, Köpfen, Gefühlen rasch neue Deutungs-Mehrheiten. Die russische Offensive, so heißt es, hat sich vor den Toren Kiews festgelaufen. Putin hat sich „verkalkuliert“. Wir müssen den Ukrainern einfach SCHWERE WAFFEN liefern! Das ist das GEBOT der Stunde! Dann können sie diesen Krieg gewinnen. All das klingt betörend. Einfach. Geboten eben. Aus moralischen, kriegstaktischen Gründen. Aus dem Recht auf Selbstverteidigung heraus. Auch aus Scham und Schuldgefühl: „Wie konnten wir nur solange stumm zusehen!?“ Wer, außer den rechten Populisten und den wackeren Friedens-Fundamentalisten, möchte das nicht: Dass die tapferen Ukrainer, die auch für unsere Freiheit kämpfen, den Usurpator besiegen? Aber was ist das überhaupt? Siegen? 3. Das Abschreckungs-Paradox In Los Alamos, dem Zentrum der amerikanischen Bombenforschung, war die Atombombe in den letzten Kriegsjahren unter ungeheurem Aufwand von Geist und Geld als ein Instrument erfunden worden, grausame Massen-Kriege für immer zu beenden (siehe dazu die ergreifende Serie „Manhattan“, bei Amazon Prime). www.amazon.de/Manhattan-Staffel-1-dt-OV Führend bei der Entwicklung dieser Massenvernichtungswaffe, waren Wissenschaftler, die den „killing fields” Europas entkommen waren. Ungarische Mathematiker. Jüdische Emigranten, die ihre Verwandten in den Nazi-Konzentrationslagern verloren hatten, nicht wenige von ihnen aus dem Gebiet, der heutigen Ukraine. Physiker, die dem linken Humanismus nahestanden, wie Edward Teller. Einige dieser Wissenschaftler gingen von Los Alamos direkt hinüber ins Lager der Spieltheoretiker, etwa John von Neumann, ein genialerer Kybernetiker und Quantenphysiker (siehe auch meine Kolumne „Future War“). In den frühen 60er Jahren erarbeiteten die Spieltheoretiker in den amerikanischen Think-Tanks das Konzept der nuklearen Abschreckung. Ein regelbasiertes Spiel, das den Untergang der Menschheit durch die Möglichkeit des Untergangs verhindern sollte. Wenn beide Parteien den anderen vernichten können. Und beide Parteien WISSEN, dass ein Erstschlag durch einen umso vernichtenderen Zweitschlag beantwortet wird. Wird keiner mit der Weltzerstörung anfangen. Auch mörderische konventionelle Kriege, wie in den zwei Weltkriegen, könnten so vermieden werden. Denn die könnten ja jederzeit eskalieren. Allerdings verhedderten sich die Spieltheoretiker im Laufe ihrer Arbeit in immer mehr Paradoxien. Je mehr sie rechneten und rechneten, modellierten und modellierten, umso weniger ging ihre Rechnung vom „Gleichgewicht des Schreckens“ auf. Der Bomberkommandant auf dem Ritt in die Apokalypse Screenshot: www.moviepilot.de Was Kubricks Dr. Seltsam auf den Punkt brachte, offenbarte sich immer deutlicher: Gleichgewichte des Schreckens funktionieren nur bei perfekter Information. Und: Es kommt vor allem auf die KOMMUNIKATION an, ob ein Regelsystem hält. Information kann jedoch ebenso wenig „perfekt“ sein wie Kommunikation. Beides ist störanfällig, manipulierbar, verrauscht. Und hängt letztlich vom menschlichen Willen ab. Wenn Information und Kommunikation chaotisch werden, fällt man leicht in Verschwörungswahn und tief eingelernte Reflexe zurück. Etwa in den Cowboy-Wahn. Die Idee, die ganze Welt befreien und zähmen zu müssen. Oder den Zaren-Wahn. Die Vorstellung, das größte, beste und mächtigste Großreich aller Zeiten besitzen zu wollen. Der Commander in Chief fürchtet um seine Potenz. Screenshot: www.moviepilot.de 4. Der Ernstfall-Test Im ersten großen Test der nuklearen Abschreckung, in der Kuba-Krise von 1962, zwei Jahre bevor Kubrick seine Satire veröffentlichte, saßen Spieltheoretiker wie Thomas C. Schelling im Krisenstab des US-Präsidenten. Siehe Tim Hartford, Logic of Life S. 36 ff S. 51 John F. Kennedy vermied durch seinen hellen Geist vor allem EINEN Fehler: Die Entscheidungen den Militärs zu überlassen, die ständig auf den Einsatz „ihrer Kapazitäten“ drängten. (siehe den Film „Thirteen Days“ von 2000). Die Kennedy-Administration legte großen Welt auf das rote Telefon, die Direktverbindung zum Kreml (so wie heute wieder das US-Verteidigungsministerium in der Ukraine-Krise). Die Kuba-Krise wurde beigelegt, indem ein „Hidden Deal“ geschlossen wurde. Die UdSSR zog ihre Atomraketen aus Kuba ab, und die USA ihre Atomraketen aus der Türkei. Wichtig war, dass die Einzelheiten des Deals nie veröffentlicht wurden. Die Welt wurde in aller Diskretion, ohne Beteiligung der öffentlichen Medien und des Propagandaapparates, gerettet. Es gibt so etwas wie die Weisheit des Schweigens. 5. Das Gesetz von Kraft und Gegenkraft Die Ukraine hat in diesem Krieg ein Momentum genutzt, das in der Kriegsgeschichte wohlbekannt ist. Das Phänomen des KULMINATIONSPUNKTS DES ANGRIFFS. Der Historiker Wolfgang Schivelbusch beschreibt dieses Phänomen in seinem Buch „Rückzug – Geschichten eines Tabus“. Es gibt in der Militärgeschichte viele grandiose Siege, die sich im Moment ihres Eintretens in Niederlagen verwandelten. In katastrophische Erfolge. Etwa Napoleons Eroberung Moskaus im Jahr 1812. Als die Grande Armee nach 3.000 Kilometern Fußmarsch mit Fanfarenklängen in die Stadt einzog, ohne nennenswerten Widerstand, war die Stadt leer. Kein Gegner in Sicht. Leere Straßen. Verrammelte Fenster. Die Folge war: Ratlosigkeit. Mit allem konnte der Oberstratege Napoleon umgehen, außer dem Mangel eines Gegners. Dann brannten auch noch Teile der Stadt. Chaos brach aus, die Moral der französischen Truppen zerfiel. Napoleons Schicksal war besiegelt. Schivelbusch beschreibt diesen Effekt der Sieges-Niederlage auch am Beispiel zweier Entscheidungsschlachten der Weltkriege, an der Marne und in Dünkirchen. Im Ersten Weltkrieg waren es die Pariser Taxifahrer, welche die französischen Soldaten zur Front fuhren, wo sie die deutsche Offensive an der Marne zu Stillstand brachten. Die Frontbeobachter berichteten schon stolz davon, dass sie in ihren Feldstechern Notre Dame sehen konnten. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg kam es nach dem Rückzug der englischen Armee zu einer Reorganisation des weltweiten Widerstands gegen Hitler. Ähnlich war es auch in Vietnam. Im Irak. Und in Afghanistan. Und eben auch jetzt in der Ukraine. „Im Moment des Angriffs mag mag der Angreifer im Vorteil sein, wenn er mit überlegenen Kräften angreift. Weil er das Überraschungsmoment und die Wucht des ersten Schlages auf seiner Seite hat. Doch dieser Vorteil ist von kurzer Dauer. Nach dem Prinzip des Stundenglases oder der kommunizierenden Röhren, kommt die Energie, die der Angreifer durch FRIKTION verliert, dem Verteidiger zugute. Dieser braucht nur warten, bis sich das Kräfteverhältnis umkehrt.“ Das nennt Clausewitz den Kulminationspunkt des Scheiterns. Clausewitz spricht vom „Zurückgeben des Stoßes“ – “die Gewalt eines Rückstoßes ist gewöhnlich viel größer, als die Kraft des Vorstoßes war. Der Affekt (oder Reflex) der Vergeltung vermag Energiereserven zu mobilisieren, über die der Angreifer nicht mehr verfügt.” (Schivelbusch S. 66). Eine kleine Einführung in die systemisch-dynamische Spieltheorie Die fundamentale Spieltheorie sagt uns, dass es in unserem Universum DREI Arten von „Spielen“ gibt. Diese Abläufe beschreiben sowohl die Logik des Lebens, der Evolution, der Zivilisation, wie auch menschlicher Kommunikationsprozesse. Win-Win-Spiele, in denen beide – oder mehrere Parteien – gegenseitige Vorteile generieren. Echte Kooperation, fairer Handel, sinnvolle Arbeitsteilung, Vertrauen, Zuneigung, Liebe, ökologische Vielfalt – all das erzeugt systemische Überschüsse, die grösser sind als die Summe der Investitionen. Durch NON-ZERO-SUM-Games, „Nichtnullsummenspiele“, wird die Welt dauerhaft bereichert. Der Komplexität wird etwas hinzugefügt. Man könnte auch sagen: Fortschritt entsteht. Win-Lose-Spiele, in denen EINE Partei verlieren muss, wenn die andere gewinnt. Bei Tennis etwa, siehe Boris Becker, gibt es immer nur einen Gewinner, der alle anderen hinter sich lässt, dabei aber auch selbst Verluste erleidet. In frontaler Konkurrenz, Spekulation und Korruption entstehen ungünstige Verluste. Auch wenn es einen SIEGER gibt, werden die Verluste in die Zukunft verschoben – und kehren von dort zurück. Lose-Lose-Spiele, in denen BEIDE Parteien verlieren. Neben verheerenden Ehescheidungen ist der Krieg das Beispiel für ein doppeltes Verlustspiel. Krieg ist immer eine Vernichtung von Weltpotential, bei der auch der Sieger verliert. Allerdings können sich auch Kriegsgeschehen asymmetrisch umkehren. Durch kathartische Prozesse entstehen neue Selbstorganisationen, aus Chaos und Zerstörung entsteht – irgendwann – neue Ordnung. Aus Tod entsteht Leben. Aus Verlust entsteht neue Zukunfts-Energie. Tit for Tat: Wie Du mir, so ich Dir, revisited Anatol Rapoport (1911-2007) emigrierte als 11-jähriger aus dem heutigen Losowa in der Ukraine in die USA, er lebte in Chicago und Wien. © en.wikipedia.org Er war Musiker, Mathematiker, Systemwissenschaftler und Philosoph, dazu noch Psychologe und Biologe. Rapoport legte die Grundlagen der angewandten Spieltheorie und teilte „Spiele“ in mehrere Dimensionen auf: Kampf („fight“): Gewalttätige Auseinandersetzung, endet mit der Unterwerfung oder physischen Zerstörung des Verlierers. Spiel („game“): Kräftemessen nach festen Regeln, endet mit der freiwilligen Aufgabe eines Teilnehmers. Debatte („debate“): Versuch, das eigene Normen- und Wertesystem auch dem Gegenüber schmackhaft zu machen. Kriege sind verschlungene Mischungen aus allen drei Komponenten. Die von Rapoport formulierte Tit-for-Tat-Strategie bildet einen wesentlichen Kern der erweiterten Spieltheorie, die auf Konfliktlösungen abzielt. Dabei geht es darum, die inneren Konstruktionen des „Gegners“ zu verstehen und zu integrieren. Die beste Strategie, die langfristig am meisten Erfolge zeigt, ist eine „positive Reaktionsstrategie mit eingebauter Flexibilität“. Sie beinhaltet zwar das Prinzip der Reziprozität „Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn: Tue anderen so, wie sie dir getan haben.“ Aber auch der beschränkten Vergeltung, um Strafen gering und Belohnungen hoch zu halten, unabhängig davon, wie das Gegenüber sich verhält. Die Strategie hat außerdem die Regel, zu Beginn einer Interaktion auf jeden Fall kooperativ zu handeln. Tit for Tat plus ist eine freundliche Strategie mit klaren Reaktionen: Nettigkeit: Man beginnt das Spiel immer kooperativ. Provozierbarkeit: Auf unkooperatives Verhalten der Gegenseite folgt Vergeltung. Auf kooperatives Verhalten wird mit Kooperation geantwortet. Nachsichtigkeit: Sobald die andere Partei nach einer Defektion wieder Kooperationsbereitschaft zeigt, nimmt man die Kooperation wieder auf. Trenne in Konflikten immer Person und Verhalten! Klarheit: Durch die Einfachheit der Strategie ist das eigene Verhalten leicht berechenbar. Siehe auch: Robert Axelrod, Die Evolution der Kooperation, 2000 6. Das Spielfeld erweitern Was also ist „Siegen”? Das ist ein bisschen kompliziert. Seit der der Zeit der „symbolischen Schlachten”, als wohl-geordnete Heere in Reih und Glied aufeinander zumarschierten und irgendwann der Sieg „ausgezählt“ wurde (headcount, meistens sogar in Übereinkunft der Kriegsparteien), sind lange vorbei. Kriege sind heute nicht nur materielle „Events“, in denen Menschenleben und Material der Einsatz sind. Kriege sind symbolische, politische, mentale, semantische Geschehen, die weit über das Schlachtfeld hinausreichen. Im hypermedialen Zeitalter werden sie vor allem als DISKURSE begonnen oder beendet. Die Angriffs-Kriege der vergangenen Jahrzehnte – spätestens seit Vietnam – wurden stets ASSYMETRISCH VERLOREN – wobei Öffentlichkeiten, „public opinions“, eine wichtige Rolle spielten. Überlegene Feuerkraft führte dabei immer ins Desaster, in die am Ende klägliche Niederlage. Das haben besonders die Amerikaner erfahren, in Vietnam, Irak, Somalia, Afghanistan. Und endgültig in Syrien. Seit dem Irak-Desaster hat die Supermacht Amerika keinen Interventionskrieg mehr geführt. Aus Amerikas Niederlagen hat das russische Militär viel gelernt. Auch Russlands militärische „Siege“ – Grosny, Syrien etc. – entstanden aus asymmetrischer Verschiebung. Dazu gehörte die Strategie, die Regeln des internationalen Rechts gnadenlos auszuhebeln. Der russische „Barbarismus“, in dem Kindergärten und Krankenhäuser angegriffen werden und jede Grausamkeit grundsätzlich der Gegenseite angelogen wird, besteht aus bewusstem Regelbruch. Und ist sehr erfolgreich. Brutalisierte Gewalt gegen die Zivilbevölkerung setzt den Gegner und seine Verbündeten nicht nur in Angst und Schrecken. Sondern in ein schreckliches Dilemma: Das Paradox der reziproken Eskalation. Jeder Gegenangriff führt zu einer Verschrecklichung der Situation. Jedes Zögern ebenfalls. Jede Zurückhaltung ist Verrat am Menschlichen, Humanitären. Jede Entschlossenheit auch. Wenn man die Unterlegenen stärkt, vermehrt man den Blutzoll. Man macht sich schuldig. Wenn man sich heraushält, vermehrt man den Tod und die Verzweiflung. Man macht sich schuldig. Wenn man einen Krieg tatsächlich gewinnen will, muss man das Spielfeld erweitern. Man muss das „level playing field“ auf eine höhere Ebene verlegen. Und neue Mitspieler und Verbündete finden. Die weltweite öffentliche Meinung. Die Interessen anderer Länder. Globale Akteure der Zivilgesellschaft wie UNO, NGOS, Internationale Organisationen.Die Kraft von Kunst und Kultur. Kulturelle und religiöse Institutionen. Die Lösungen neuer Kapitalinteressen und Technologien (Die Energie-Revolution). Das Einzige, was diesen Krieg wirklich mit einer Niederlage Russlands beenden könnte, wäre eine überwältigende globale Mehrheit gegen den Krieg. Eine aktive, beharrende, entschlossene Welt-Mehrheit für die Einhaltung oder Wiederherstellung des Völkerrechts. Das ist aber nicht möglich, solange die vielen Völkerrechts-Verletzungen der Supermacht Amerika im Raum stehen, ohne bearbeitet und verziehen worden zu sein. Denn der Vorwurf der Doppelmoral ist die eigentliche semantische Waffe in diesem Krieg. Ukrainische Briefmarke zeigt dem russischen Kriegsschiff Moskwa den Mittelfinger, © www.derstandard.at Die ukrainische Regierung hat, im Zusammenspiel mit der ukrainischen Zivilbevölkerung, bereits eine äußerst kluge Symbolpolitik betrieben. Sie hat auf unvergleichliche Weise die Selbstorganisations-Kräfte der Bevölkerung mobilisiert. Die Ukraine spielt ihre erfolgreichsten Spiele nicht auf dem Schlachtfeld, sondern im kollektiven Wahrnehmungsraum. In den globalen MEMEN, den Inszenierungen der Widerstands-Empathie. David gegen Goliath, ein Kampf auf dem moralischen Spielfeld. Für den Frieden jedoch ist die Moral eine ungünstige Währung. Sie wirkt ja immer auf beiden Seiten, dient als Bestätigung, Rechtfertigung, ja Begründung der Gewalt. 7. Die dunkle Resonanz Die acht Szenarien, die ich in Kolumne Nr. 92 beschrieben habe, verdichten sich immer mehr zu einem wahrscheinlichen Verlauf. Die östliche Ukraine wird besetzt, durch eine Orgie der Zerstörung, in der das russische Militär noch einmal alle seine Grenzüberschreitungen vorführt. Wie weit das gehen wird, wissen wir nicht. Hier rollt der historische Würfel des Zufalls. Die Zerstörung wird dann als Sieg verkauft werden. Doch die Eroberung eines auf Jahrzehnte verseuchten und verminten Ruinen-Trümmerfelds, das man selbst erzeugt hat, erfordert einen hohen Preis. Eine gigantische Minus-Rechnung muss in einen Triumph umgedeutet werden. Damit könnte sich das Imperium, wie schon viele Imperien zuvor, überheben. In Andrei Tarkowskis dystopischem Film STALKER reisen drei Personen in eine radioaktive Landschaft, die den Ruinen von Mariupol oder der Zone von Tschernobyl ähnelt. Alles schimmelt, rostet, dampft. Irgendwo in dieser ruinösen Landschaft soll sich ein Raum befinden, in dem alle Wünsche endlich erfüllt werden. Man muss sich in diesem Raum nur das wünschen, was man wirklich will. Die Reisenden erreichen diesen Raum nie. Sie vergessen unterwegs, was sie sich wünschen könnten. Sie zerstreiten sich darüber, was überhaupt wünschenswert sein könnte. Und ob man diesen Raum nicht lieber zerstören sollte. Weil er gefährlich ist. 8. Cyber-Nations Zu den Erweiterungs-Optionen des Spielfelds gehört auch das, was man die ankommende Emigration nennen könnte. Aus Vertreibung wird dann Migration. Vertreibung ist immer ein schrecklicher Heimatverlust. Aber es kann auch ein kreativer Welt-Zugewinn werden. So, wie die jüdischen Künstler und Intellektuellen, die Wiener und Berliner Physiker und Naturwissenschaftler im Zweiten Weltkrieg „den Westen“ bereicherten, werden Millionen Ukrainer UND Russen zu einer globalen Bereicherung führen. Der größte Kriegsverlust Russlands ist der „brain drain“, der Verlust von unfassbar vielen Talenten, humanen Potentialen, kreativen Menschen. Der zweite Weltkrieg wurde nicht zuletzt dadurch entschieden, dass Millionen von Menschen in ihren Aufnahme-Ländern große Potentiale von Wissen, Energie und Wandel freisetzten. Hier könnte das vielgerühmte „Metaverse“ endlich einmal zeigen, was es kann. Stellen wir uns vor: In einer neuen CYBER-NATION tun sich die Dissidenten Russlands UND die Vertriebenen der Ukraine zusammen. Solche virtuellen Neu-Staaten können im 21. Jahrhundert reale Machtpotentiale entwickeln. Sie können intensiv auf die Ursprungsländer zurückwirken. Das virtuelle Territorium wird wichtiger als das physische Territorium. Die Besatzung wird sinnlos. Sie scheitert an sich selbst. 9. Bewaffneter Pazifismus Vielleicht lässt es sich nicht verhindern, dass die Ukrainer nun SCHWERE WAFFEN erhalten. Manchmal entwickeln sich die Dynamiken in einer Weise, in der sie nicht aufzuhalten sind. Die buddhistische Lebensweisheit geht von einer wichtigen Differenz zwischen MITLEID und MITFÜHLEN aus. Während Mitleid immer auch einen narzisstischen Aspekt hat – es zieht uns in das Leiden und die Angst mit hinein, es bindet uns an unsere affektive Reaktion – führt Mitgefühl zu einer Zuneigung, in der wir in Empathie einen kühlen Kopf bewahren können. Auch dieser Krieg wird nur asymmetrisch zu gewinnen sein. Wenn „wir“ den Ukrainern schwere Waffen liefern, nehmen wir ihnen womöglich ihre wahre Möglichkeit auf Erfolg. Es könnte sein, dass wir ihren asymmetrischen Sieg verhindern, indem wir sie ihrem Gegner angleichen. Zum Siegen gehört auch, auf die richtige Weise verlieren zu können. Um dann auf einer neuen Ebene weiterzukämpfen. Die Re-Militarisierung, die wir in Europa nun vollziehen müssen, kann nicht in die alten Militarisierungsformen zurückführen. Die Finnen haben das schon lange verstanden, ebenso wie die Letten und Litauer, oder die Schweizer. Ein bloßes „Gegenrüsten“ auf derselben Ebene ist sinnlos. Eine Gesellschaft jedoch, die sich mit Hightech-Defensiv-Waffen und heller Entschlossenheit ihr Land für jeden territorialen Aggressor „unsinnig“ machen kann, ist die richtige Antwort auf das Ende der nuklearen Abschreckung. Individualismus, Vitalität, politische Freiheit, Innovationskraft, Zivilität und Verteidigungsfähigkeit können erstaunlicherweise zusammengehen. Wie die Ukraine, aber auch das Beispiel Israel – in großen Teilen – zeigen. Hoffen wir also auf asymmetrische Weisheit. Hoffen wir auf die Klugheit unserer Politiker, in diesem Konflikt in Sinne von Nicht-Nullsummen-Spielen zu agieren. Dazu bedarf es des wiederholten Ebenenwechsels. Vertrauen wir auf die menschlichen Fähigkeiten, in großer Paradoxie innere Klarheit zu behalten. Das Spiel auf einer höheren Ebene zu spielen. Eine Verhandlungs-Streitmacht zu entwickeln. Hoffen wir auf eine neue Poesie des Friedens. Ein Spielfeld, das sich aus der Zukunft heraus entfaltet. P.S.: Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine Unmenge kluger und weniger kluger Gedanken in der momentanen Kriegsdebatte. Sehr wertvoll war ein Interview mit dem ehemaligen Pazifisten Arvid Bell, der heute eine „Negotiation Task Force“ an der Harvard University führt, die die Rolle von Verhandlungsstrategien in internationalen Konflikten erforscht („Der Westen nimmt sich wichtiger, als er noch ist“, ZEIT online 17. April 22). Und ein Hinweis auf den wunderbaren Text „Ukraine is our Past and Future“ des Journalisten und Filmproduzenten Peter Pomerantsev, veröffentlicht in TIME Magazine, 6..4.22: Once again, Ukraine is making us rethink our values, our laws, our policies, our defense. This war is not just a problem you can localize to Russia-Ukraine. There's an increasingly coordinated network of dictatorships and soft authoritarians who think the 21st century belongs to them. Working out how to help Ukraine win is the first step to fathom this defining question. As so many times a global fault-line in our thinking, one that we wanted to ignore, is being made apparent in Ukraine. The Ukrainian writer Igor Pomerantsev once defined poetry as a bat flying through the night suddenly illuminated in the flashlight of our focus. That metaphor can apply to politics as well. Ukraine is the place where the invisible is surfaced, where the suppressed will be remembered, where horror is made into meaning. For their freedom and ours. www.time.com Geboren in Kiew, aufgewachsen in Deutschland, lebt Peter Pomerantsev heute in London. Er ist Autor des Buches “Nothing is true and everything ist possible” und “This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality”. Ein großes Dankeschön an Matthias Horx für den interessanten Beitrag und die freundliche Erlaubnis ihn teilen zu dürfen! Ich hoffe, es hilft Dir vielleicht wieder etwas mehr mit Mitgefühl auf den Konflikt zu schauen und dabei dennoch aktiv und handelnd zu bleiben, statt im Dunkel zu versinken. Alles liebe und bestmögliche Gesundheit wünscht Dir, Nele

Kreativ friktion: Varför gör motstånd att vi tänker nytt? Kulturjournalisten Jan Gradvall sammanför Carolina Frände, teaterregissör och doktorand vid Stockholm Business School med Staffan Bergwik, professor i idéhistoria vid Stockholms universitet, i ett samtal om hur kunskap blir till. I samtalsfestivalen Öppna rum möttes konstnärer och forskare för att tillsammans tänka nya tankar om aktuella frågor. Hur har hanteringen av fakta kring Covid-19 blivit ett verktyg för politiska intressen? Kan och ska vi verkligen mäta nyttan av konst och forskning? Och hur hjälper en kris oss att tänka nytt? Öppna rum var ett samarbete mellan konsthallen Accelerator och förlaget Volante. En dag tillägnad öppna samtal där studenter och allmänhet möter professorer och konstnärer i dialog om vårt samhälles utmaningar och möjligheter. Högt i tak, fritt spelrum för nya perspektiv och idéer.
