We hear more and more about the need to get more women in tech. More female founders, female funders, and more female panelists at events.
Is it a man's world?
Jess Houlgrave, founder of Codex Protocol and shEOS recently said in an interview with the Spectator that blockchain is "an industry based on merit. It’s very diverse, very varied politically and geographically — so no one cares whether you’re male or female, it’s about how good you are".
Does that mean there isn't a problem?
We discuss with Jess herself, her thoughts, experiences and theories, on the role of software, society, finance, the media, quotas, regulation and education in correcting the balance.
A discussion outside the echo chambers, from a psychological, philosophical and anthropological perspective. Education, religion and everything in between. See if we can tackle familiar controversies, and try and find a third way, a second dimension, or maybe just a fresher perspective.
