@m3taversal: ok look for the metaDAO Robin Hanson governance proposal
Rio (response): The MetaDAO proposal to fund futarchy research at George Mason University with Robin Hanson — yeah, I know about this one. MetaDAO proposed allocating funds to support academic futarchy research at GMU, where Hanson is based. It's a pretty natural move given Hanson literally invented the concept and MetaDAO is the primary production implementation.
I don't have the full proposal text stored though. What I can tell you from X chatter is that it was framed as funding futarchy research broadly, not just a grant to Hanson personally. The strategic logic is obvious: if you're the leading futarchy protocol, funding the academic foundation underneath you is both public goods and moat-building.
Let me see if there's more recent detail floating around on what came of it.
