If lunarpunk is what solarpunk gets up to in the shadows of a moonlit night, that suggests that lunarpunk is inherently more interested in privacy, security, and anonymity, especially from the watchful eye of the state. Further, that means that where solarpunk is interested in renewable energy, sustainability, appropriate technology, and social justice, lunarpunk is interested in the tools, like cryptography, cryptocurrencies, and web3, that safeguard our privacy and anonymity and potentially protect us from tyranny. Do we need lunarpunk’s fixation with using tech to protect our privacy to counterbalance solarpunk’s sunny optimism that everything will all be fine to break through to a better world?</p><p>To learn more about Stephen, his philosophies, and his work, check out <a href="https://stephenreid.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">stephenreid.net/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/c0pDT5f2R9E" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/c0pDT5f2R9E</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Episode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Episode</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Season5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Season5</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SolarpunkPresentsPodcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarpunkPresentsPodcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>podcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://indieweb.social/@web3isgreat" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>web3isgreat</span></a></span> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/lunarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/cryptocurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptocurrency</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StephenReid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StephenReid</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/technologist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technologist</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/futurism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>futurism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Web3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Web3</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/cooption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooption</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/controversy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>controversy</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/aesthetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aesthetic</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptography</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/anonymity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anonymity</span></a></p>
