We need new ideologies and we need to place the focus of our future philosophy on the moral issues between man and machine, wherever that frontier is set. Do DAO and crypto can be a mean to address some of this issues?

I wrote a research paper for a university econ class that explored exactly this question. The thesis of the paper postulated the role of DAOs and blockchain tech as a societal paradigm shift beyond the capitalist mode of production.

Capitalism is made up of and perpetuated by the capitalist and worker classes. The core of my paper suggests the possibility (even inevitability) that we'll see a shift from capitalist production to DAO-ce tric production, where the division of labor rests between algorithm and participant. The ideology behind this is that blockchain tech enables this possibility of an algorithmic manager/CEO, which carries no upkeep cost and makes no error in judgement and performance. This takes the form of the DAO, and presents a manner of production through which capitalism breaks down: capitalistic production revolves around constant efforts to drive production costs as close to 0 as possible, once a zero input cost is achieved we've officially expanded beyond capitalism.

I coined this concept the blockchain mode of production, and my research suggested this is something we'll likely see (and are already seeing) first as a displacer to financial and digital industries but could potentially take on every component of society. There are already dozens of productions essentially pro iding DAO financial services: autonomous currency, peer-to-peer lending, trustless reputation systems, and so on. Other likely places for disruption including Insurance with autonomous, transparent insurance pools, and medicine with self-funding research and public IP.

If anyone is interested in reading the paper I could perhaps post it here or provide the link to the Google Doc.
