How can we channel social diversity into meaningful action? ???? E. Glen Weyl, founder of the Plurality Institute and RadicalxChange Foundation, and research lead at Microsoft Research’s Plural Technology Collaboratory, shares how "plurality" transforms the energy of social diversity into actionable solutions. By designing systems that respect and leverage differences, plurality fosters collaboration without erasing individuality, enabling innovative approaches to tackling real-world challenges. Recorded at our Tokyo conference, Glen discusses bridging Web3 innovation with traditional institutions, the importance of connecting public and private sectors, and why Japan provides a unique setting for these efforts. His ideas offer practical approaches to collaborative technologies that foster positive, tangible change. ??
