Kevin Kelly has been known since the 1980s for his keen sense of direction regarding all things technological. His books on the subject over the past decades have consistently become bestsellers. Whenever new technologies emerge—such as artificial intelligence and blockchain—the world seeks his insights, and HistoryDAO is fortunate to have had a second direct conversation with him this year.
In their first interview, HistoryDAO engaged Mr. Kevin Kelly in an in-depth discussion on the theme of “what technology wants,” exploring topics such as “what blockchain technology wants” and “the role of NFTs.”
“You know London is the capital of the UK—that’s just a consensus,” Kevin Kelly said during the previous interview.
“That fact itself is a consensus—not merely its representation.” This part of Kelly’s discussion illuminated the role of consensus in truth, suggesting that the Platonic ideal of truth may always have been consensus. Of course, NFTs and blockchain are built upon codified consensus.
Keeping Mr. Kelly’s insights in mind, the HistoryDAO team began to recognize the importance of consensus—dating back to Plato, who founded Western philosophy by arguing that while objective truth exists, it can only be revealed through “dialectic,” a concept closely resembling modern ideas of consensus.
In the coming weeks, the HistoryDAO team, represented by founder Sky Harris, will join Mr. Kelly to expand this dialectic into one of today’s most popular and increasingly critical topics—artificial intelligence, or A.I. Can A.I. play a role—as a participant in dialectic itself—or will it soon be able to? Do blockchain and NFTs have unique access points to truth? These questions will be explored through the lens of historical lessons and technology’s future role. Mr. Kelly’s views on artificial intelligence will also be examined within the context of another of his passions—art—as a universal yet uniquely human endeavor.

About Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly is renowned for his pioneering role in internet history—arguably, he was “there from the beginning.” In 1984, Mr. Kelly co-hosted the first hacker conference under the publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog, which also supported The WELL, the oldest digital-based community bulletin board, established in 1985 and still active today. In the early 1990s, he became the founding editor of Wired magazine. Throughout his career as a chronicler of the relationship between humans and technology, he has gained recognition for his reliable predictions about what humanity and technology will become in the future.
Over the past few decades, Mr. Kelly has published several bestselling philosophical books on technology. His latest work is a photographic compilation drawn from over 9,000 images taken across Asia since the 1970s. Titled Vanishing Asia, the book reflects his personal journey during his first trip to Asian countries with a camera.
