The inevitable sociality of money
Bitcoin went from being an obscure online project to a globally exchanged money valued at tens of thousands of dollars (USD) per unit. It has achieved this in spite of fundamental irreconcilabilities between the economic theories which spurred its creation and its own material basis. This article investigates how this happened using a computationally grounded analysis of 100 000s of messages from the early years of Bitcoin's two main online commu…
On Rupture
This article presents a cognitive model of social rupture and develops its implications for social change processes. It takes as its foundation established research on the reflexive transition from implicit (i.e., Type 1) processing into conscious (i.e., Type 2) processing that occurs when individuals’ automatic inferences about their environment become unreliable. By considering how this “conflict monitoring response” (Botvinick et al. 2001) and…
Something out of nothing
This article develops a formalism for the social construction of value. Using a model based on Bayesian agents, it demonstrates how “something” arises out of “nothing” via the emergence of durable value conventions and shows how the developed framework can be used to investigate socially constructed valuations under a variety of circumstances. The resulting analysis clarifies why assumptions that collectives will converge upon the “intrinsic” (i.…
Mechanics and dynamics of social construction
Brokerage
Although sociologists have frequently touched on ideas related to brokerage in their research, brokerage is rarely considered a central concept in the discipline's theoretical or analytic arsenal. Theoretically, brokerage is one of a small number of mechanisms by which disconnected or isolated individuals (or groups) can interact economically, politically, and socially. Across substantive domains, we are particularly struck by a dual aspect of br…
