# Global Fintech and Blockchain - Imperial College - Vinay Gupta (Mattereum) on automated morality

> One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [255]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record. The map of the whole archive is https://guptaoption.com/llms.txt, and any source [id] is at https://guptaoption.com/texts/<id>.md. This file's connections are below, then his passages.

## Passages
[0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=0s) so the question to ask is what is the financial system for we're talking about bringing all this innovation into finance but what is it exactly that we're innovating on top of because if we don't have a really clear idea of what it is that we're doing how can we tell the difference between success and failure how can we tell the difference between valid useful innovation and making a bad thing worse I think that's a particularly important question we're looking at the financial system because practically everything in reality is shaped by molded created controlled by the financial system it's very important that we're clear that this is at the heart of our society and it's increasingly at the heart of our society so my suggestion is that the financial system is for the effective allocation of capital it's a it's a social machine it's a political machine it's a corporate machine and the metric for the success of that machine is the effective allocation of capital now you'll note here that I say effective rather than efficient normally people would say that the financial systems job is the efficient allocation of capital but if you define efficiency too narrowly you could get systems which are incredibly brittle that have massive unpriced externality x' you can wind up with all kinds of fundamental problems because you're measuring the wrong thing an efficiency tends to measure the wrong thing in many cases when you have an efficiency drive what you're actually doing is minding out all the resilience in the system or externalizing a set of costs and you can see that all over the world just-in-time manufacturing is very efficient it's not always very effective the systems behind things like uber or delivery are certainly very efficient but the externalized enormous amounts of cost they're not very effective Walmart hiring policies so distinguishing efficiency from effectiveness is extremely important my suggestion is that the role of the blockchain correctly deployed will be to build a more effective financial system I think it will also be more efficient but I want you to bear in mind very clearly this distinction in efficiency and effectiveness um so the problem that we

[2:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=127s) have right now is that the financial system is all most psychotically dedicated to destroying information that people need to make decisions right and capitalism relies on people having good access the data so they can make informed decisions but the financial system as it currently stands destroys practically all of the data that it can touch on every single transaction and this is a simple thing right you walk into a store you buy something in cash there's no data trail nobody understands what happened this is a good thing for individuals right but if you're in a position where you want to buy a house how do you get hold of the records of the house who built it when was it built what is it made of how has it been maintained right um what are the issues that the previous owners hard with the house how often has somebody been called out to fix the plumbing all that information is vitally important when you're trying to value the house but the norms that we use for handling property destroy all of that data it's just flashed there is no longer book for the house much less is there any kind of statutory requirement to local happens where cars are exactly the same way right and if you get to things like diamonds or gold trying to figure out whether these things are safe to touch or whether they've been contaminated by for example conflict or smuggling is incredibly difficult because we take all the data you need to make those decisions and wherever possible the information is destroyed and that kind of information destruction does not result in either a more efficient or a more effective system it results in a system where the party that house the data is throwing it away because it's to their benefit and the party that has to make a decision on imperfect data is being taxed and disadvantaged by the fact that the information has been flashed so the first thing I want to suggest is that it's very easy to see in an environment where you've got technologies like blockchain and all the rest the digital storage stuff that we have today you can see that there is no reason to throw away data you don't have to do it there's no good cause to do it we could actually operate in an environment where we had extremely deep and comprehensive access to the understanding of the deals that we were making and the turns out we were doing and that stuff in some instances could be voluntary and other instances it could be compulsory there's no reason for food labels to be restricted to the handful of items which run them now we could have the entire

[4:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=277s) provenance of every ingredient right out to the first cause without it being in any way shape or form an unreasonable burden on trade we have the technology we have the capability we just aren't deploying that and as a result we have a much less effective and a much less efficient capitalism that we could now

[4:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=299s) the result of that is that you cannot see how things are this tendency to throw away the data results in us having to make a bunch of decisions essentially blind um so is there anybody in this room who's got reasonable certainty that nothing that they're currently carrying on their person was manufactured by a slave answer no right there are goods which are manufactured with slave-free tanks on them but the end of the day very very little of the Commerce which is happening and makes those kinds of guarantees now I don't think anybody in this room would ever dream of personally owning another human being but we're in a position where we can't guarantee that a human being who was being treated like property wasn't involved in the manufacture of the things that we have right for cellphones it's coltan which is used to make some of the components for clothing it's sweatshops for food it's all kinds of crazy working conditions on the far side of the supply chain this stuff is everywhere it's said that there are more slaves now than there were any previous point in human history and all that is baked into the supply chains and somehow we managed to get the goods up the pipe and we managed to get the money back down the pipe but somehow in that process even though we've got goods and money traveling backwards and forwards the goods go one way the money goes the other way but we don't seem to be able to transfer any information that's not unintentional right that's a structural problem in the way that we're running capitalism and the same process that throws away the information about slavery also throws away the information about carbon you're being deliberately and systemically blinded to the impact that our lives have on other people by the very systems that are moving around the goods and the money and this is where I see the biggest single potential for impact from blockchain it's clarifying the real impacts of things it's clarifying the real costs so that we can make accurate economic decisions and accurate economic decisions is accurate political decisions we all vote but once at the ballot box armed you know 48,000 times at the store our wallets are making most of the decisions in society we get very little access to democracy but we get constant perpetual access to the market why are we deprived of the information that we need to make responsible decisions and this is not a small problem we're in an age where the inability of markets to sensibly price externalities

[7:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=449s) is literally destroying the world and yet we don't seem to challenge the idea that throwing away all the information every point in the transactional chain is right normal and valid and we could fix it now we have the technology um I'm

[7:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=464s) going to talk a little bit about poverty and the myths of poverty um please raise your hand if you think that globally poverty is getting better rather than worse okay poverty is getting better rather than worse okay what do you think raise your hand if you think poverty is getting worse rather than better okay about 5050 so for a long time I kept seeing the propaganda suggesting that a dollar ninety was the correct way of measuring absolute poverty and a lot more people were making a dollar ninety eight eighth and had been making a dollar ninety a day in the past and the poverty was getting better I just discovered a bunch work by Jason Hinkle he's currently got right up in the Guardian which says actually the problem here is that were measuring the wrong thing the actual poverty line is about $7 40 and a dollar 90 people actually have chronic malnutrition it's just it's not so bad they die immediately but they're certainly by no means in any way shape or form stable for things like food security by a new relevant metric they're still in extreme poverty and the line where that stops is about $7 40 at the seven bowl were forty line it turns out the poverty is getting massively worse per day per person $7 40 per day per person is the line of which you can afford to eat well enough that you don't have diseases of malnutrition Oh indeed for example Glasgow coltan the life expectancy is below 60 which is extremely bad it's comparable with Congo and that's largely driven by alcoholism you know no doubt at all the poverty is a global phenomena but that clash of narratives between the 190 add a picture which says it's getting better and the 740 add a picture which says it's getting worse the problem here is that getting that data at all is extremely difficult nobody is very interested in making it clear how the poor people of the world live and how much money they have to live on right we're just taking that information which is how sixty percent of the human race is actually doing we're taking that information and we're kind of tossing it we're not actually getting a solid grip on the data and the result of us not having a solid grip on the data is that we don't really understand how the world works we're blind to the impact of our actions because the information that we're taking in is extremely politically distorted if we had access to the facts

[10:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=614s) about how the world works and how other people are affected by our decisions if we had a really good understanding of what we do that is actually unethical but it's been buried and by the information too strong structures in the market we might be in a position where society would begin to deal with some of the mess that we're making there's no

[10:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=633s) reason that we have to live this way if you walk into a store and something says you know twelve hours of slave labor went into the manufacture of this garment and the thing beside it is a dollar fifty more expensive and it says zero hours of slave labor bent into the manufacture of this garment nobody is going to buy the thing with the slave labor baked in and actually if you have a right to know whether something contains lead you have a right to know whether something contains slave labor it doesn't have to that we're operating in an information void randomly guessing about whether or not we're destroying the world when we go shopping it's incredibly psychologically damaging that we live in a position where we can't tell the difference between right and wrong because nobody will give us the data and I think that the prospect here is that if we started to pursue this kind of transparency as a major global priority we'd find that it supports all the Millennium Development Goals it certainly support all the sustainable development goals it would help every political cause justify its case based on rationality rather than guesswork and I think it would enable the automation of morality for a lot of decisions if you simply decide that you don't want Amazon to show you anything that contains any slave labor and at all there ought to be a checkbox which will simply cease to show you those things in a search you ought to be able to do that for peanut allergies now right you ought to just have a check in your credit card that says never let me buy something that contains a peanut by accident and when you walk out of a store having filled a basket with things they ought to throw an alert when you get to the checkout and say wait a minute you're on the peanut list are you sure you wanted to buy that we could really do this stuff and it has benefits that are as simple as helping allergy sufferers manage their exposure in their risk all the way through to the ability to systemic we decide that you're never going to touch another product that came from our regime which blocks the formation of effective labor unions we can literally stop supporting all the stuff that we hate by clicking a couple of checkboxes if we have the infrastructure to make sure the information passes at the same time as money is exchanged for goods now obviously I'm talking about blockchain here right this is a blockchain conference but it doesn't have to be blockchain as long as you have the political will to understand the moral impact that your actions have on the world you could find the technology to

[13:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=783s) do it this is a thing that we have the capability to campaign on we have the ability in the right to know what is in the stuff that we use and there are a million benefits for having that information the only people that are to be harmed by transparency about what's happening in the supply chain are the people that are currently profiting by keeping you in the dark about the impact of your actions or about what kind of garbage it is that they're selling you and I don't think we need to defend the business models of people that are making a living by keeping us in the dark and selling this garbage this seems pretty transparent and we've got an excellent record in developed countries of driving political change through consumer activism that's why you have seatbelts it's why you have air bags it's why you have an eight-hour workday we're very good at organizing to make ourselves comfortable in this world and I think that this could be seen as another issue in which political pressure could be applied by people on mass as much at the ballot box as in the stores to drive through all of the information destroying blocks to get to the fundamental knowledge of what is happening in the world and it's not that we have to take all of our information into our own minds and carry that information on the weight of our shoulders that's what software is for ultimate the moral decision-making express your preferences to the software the software parses the information feed that comes from the supply chain they simply won't allow you to buy anything accident with it's bad for your values screen out the moral toxicity outsource now the other

[14:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=881s) thing that you get from this kind of an approach is the ability to do whole systems global optimization so whole systems global optimization already occurs in a lot of fields for example maintenance of airline fleets is a global process you take the planes to whoever in the world has the best deals on maintenance that day that's where you fly the planes that's where you fix the planes because they've got effective global information sharing because they've got a fact of global standardization and maintenance quality you could do the plane maintenance anywhere you please and the markets for plane maintenance are extremely efficient same thing is true for international shipping you want to take a box from here to anywhere in the world that are a variety fully integrated services that will do that for you in a very comprehensive way and they're very very very data-driven which should be as a surprise to nobody so if we were going to start getting real transparency about what's happening in the supply chains and that transparency is not just about the moral issues or food contaminants it could also be transparency about pricing it could be transparency about availability it could be transparency about just about anything to do with the goods which are in play and the reason that it's worth doing that is the same reason it's worth having for example copyright law or patent law the purpose of copyright and patent is to promote a more efficient market by giving people the ability to invest in the creation of creative works or to do basic research copyright and patent at least in the American derivation of those rights is driven by the need to promote the progress in the useful Arts and Sciences so there's plenty of precedent for the state using its power to mandate changes in the way the information is handled in society give you two examples right now G DPR is attempting to give people back control of their personal data and it's hugely inconvenience in a lot of companies but it's also opening up space for innovation and consent based information systems and PSD to is forced in the banks to provide api's which will allow them to get direct access to peoples and financial records from third parties so you could manage all of your bank accounts from a single application because PSD to forces the banks to open the API is to give you control of your own bank account and these things are being driven directly by the European Union their government Fiat so suppose that we did the same thing not just for figuring out what's in goods but also

[17:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=1031s) for pricing information stock information availability certainly some people will be harmed by this in the same way that some people are being harmed by gdpr or PSD - but the people that are being harmed by that stuff were making money from keeping you in the dark not an efficient use of resources this late in the 21st century keeping people in the dark for a living should be an endangered business model so if we had something that looked like PSD to for all the things what you could then do is apply whole systems optimization to supply chains and to many other areas of life has anybody tried to rent an apartment in London recently right how many different silos are there that the information is jammed into by competitive people who are trying to pimp you an apartment right there's a constant siloing of information attempt to maintain secrecy rather than having a single clearing rail or all the information about availability is poured in and all the offers to take the stuff out come you know kind of pour out we could have 10% of the wastage of time and money being spent finding real estate in London if government would step in with something that was like PSD to style transparency requirements to open the data by force and those kind of approaches are standard functions of the state they haven't been used very heavily to curate information markets yet because the state is a little slow on the uptake on new technology but what you're seeing with GDP are and PSD to is the first beginnings of the use of state authority to produce fundamentally more effective and more efficient markets for information but that's a core function of the state the creation of sensible looking markets that are non predatory has always been part of the state's function right since the beginning when the state was the thing that made sure that the weights and measures used in the markets weren't corrupt so that when you bought one pound of wheat you got one pound of wheat there's no reason for the state not to be involved in breaking pathological markets and replacing them the functional ones the benefit which comes from this is an enormous increase in a specific form of wealth so

[19:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=1163s) liquidity is well understood by people that finance as being in many ways better than any other form of wealth it's very easy to end up with a pile of illiquid assets which are theoretically worth a fortune but which it's impossible or illegal to currently sell a good example is equity inside of companies which haven't gone public yet it's almost impossible to get rid of the stuff because you're not permitted to market it so it might be worth millions and millions of dollars you might even have transactions which show its value you might have a record of people buying at a given price but you yourself cannot sell the stuff and those kind of liquidity traps are all the way through the physical world it's almost impossible to get fair value for a physical asset that you've bought 30 seconds after you've paid for it you walk into a store you buy a bicycle you carry outside it doesn't fit into your car you take it back inside they won't take it back off you and now it's worth probably 60% less than you paid for it that kind of immediate destruction of value in secondhand markets is happening because we don't have liquidity somebody that wants to buy that bicycle doesn't have the information to know that there's a second hon version of available that sends zero miles put on it so they simply go with the limited information they've got access to and they make a bad decision and as a result there is less liquidity for the used bicycle market all that causes is the average price of bicycles to be completely distorted by the lack of access to information and if that's true for bicycles imagine what it's like if you're in manufacturing and you run out of a critical component because of a supply chain stall you know that there are 25 companies that are buying and selling that exact component within two miles of where you are but you can't just walk over to one of them and buy it from them because you don't have the information about where the assets are to be found and those kind of problems are all over industry right so what I'm suggesting here is if we were much more disciplined about getting access to information in the industrial supply chain the result of that would be an enormous increase in the global liquidity of goods and services a practically zero increase in price and this is a free lunch economically speaking being able to provide enormous amounts of new liquidity inside of systems is the equivalent of making those systems massively more functional and massively more profitable and it's within our reach to do that because goodness knows we've got the information clearing capacity the question is how do we get the information into those

[21:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=1313s) systems so my assertion is it would be nice if the market would do this by itself right and it's done that successfully for things like ISBN numbers for books it's done ik successfully in several other areas but it might require a nudge from government or possibly an outright kick to be able to get this done for the supply chain but if we do it it will be a civilization transforming event in much of them with assigning every major piece of information in the world a URL and giving an extremely expedited access to it has been world-changing event there's an enormous amount of room here to change the world very very directly and there's an enormous need to do that the

[22:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=1355s) title I've written for this part of my talk this is the last section is 17 years right um you all know the biblical story about the dream of 17 years you know fat cows and thin cows and all the rest of that um does anybody believe that the global economy is going to be healthier in 10 years than it is today cook show hands global economy healthier in the future how many people think the global economy will be much unhealthier global recession yeah probably about twice as many hands certainly there are an enormous number of signs that we're heading into another round of financial crisis in the next few years there's a lot of underperforming debt there's a lot of miss allocation of capital the possibility for dramatic rearrangement is very strong this is before we bake bacon political risk from things like this Union in America so given the reasonable expectation that we're going to be extremely constrained in future by things like climate concerns given the fact that we know that there is an enormous amount of unmanaged global poverty and that things are getting worse rather than better for a lot of people and and if you want a real chapter and verse on this it suggests they can look at a paper called deep adaptation by jam-band Dahl again this is currently in the press there's a lot of people talking about it it's been referred to as the climate paper that's sending people to therapy and I think it's you know it's worth reading if you're in a strong frame of mind because this summary of it's a good summary of the science and the expectation of impact including humanitarian impact so given that we know that we're heading in to at least 17 years we're heading into a resource-constrained future simply sharing resources appropriately with the global poor is certainly going to make most of the people in the world poorer right you can already see that effect on the pressure in the middle class as the globalization of the middle class occurs the middle class in Western Europe has badly findout same things happening in America globalization really does average wealth if we know we're heading into this kind of resource constrained environment what can we do about it how do we take the rational expectation a fairly severe oncoming economic hardship and how do we rearrange our resources to get rid of those problems and remember this is a talk that I'm giving in a developed world context right but actually you know if I was giving this talk in poor country I'd be talking about the possibility for the massive creation of wealth I'd be talking about how the future is likely to bring a

[25:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=1505s) global equalizing and that would be good for us in in a rich country you talk about averaging as bad and a poor country you talk about averaging is good for the individuals who are in the audience so in given that we know we're heading into these kind of tough times how do we approach managing those risks and my suggestion is this right we need concerted global efforts to accelerate change I mean massive I mean post-world War two Marshall plan level efforts we need gigantic coordinated pushes to shift the way that the global economy works and the best game in town for that is the use of information technology to track everything and allow the automation both of more moral decisions but also policy decisions there's an enormous opportunity for simply making data available using government feel unnecessary and then using things like machine learning and artificial intelligence to optimize at scale so that we don't have enormous amounts of assets sitting around underused so that we don't have more cars than we need on the road so that we can effectively share all of the assets which are in play in a way that gives us extremely tight control of what it is that we want to do with the wealth which is under our command because right now something like 20% of the wealth in the world is underused it's empty factories it's empty apartments its goods which can't find markets and we can't afford that kind of waste in the environment that we're really at so building frameworks for the globally effective deployment of capital to me is the next phase of the growth of the internet we've basically fixed information there is no more information of poverty for most human beings and I think we can speak with some authority and say that there will be no information poverty at all in the future because we fixed information the next thing that we have to do and this is what my company Mattereum is focused on is fusing the information to the physical goods in the world so that we can use algorithms to correctly value those Goods and to make sure that there are efficient global markets so that we don't have this problem that there is an enormous amount of inefficiency in the global economy and that we can't make moral decisions about how our lives will influence other people because we can't make automated decisions that allow us to make our moral choices once and then how those be implemented for the rest of our lives we need to move into an environment where it's possible to provide technical support for us to make

[27:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MBGKzUTjs&t=1655s) the wise decisions that we have to in order to save the world from our own ignorance um and that I think is what we should be using the blockchain for get the information that we need to make rational economic and moral decisions into a format where it can actually be used and automate as much of the decision-making on a day to day basis as possible so that we can finally fix the pathological incentives which come from constantly acting ignorance thank you very much
