Our brains are wildly plastic. Give us a new tool, put us in the driver's seat of our first car, and we will reorganize our gray matter to meld our intentions with its capacity in short order. 

Concepts are similar types of cognitive prosthesis to cars and wrenches. We can will our brain into coregulation with new concepts - even with new orders of concepts. The underconcepts of difference-in-itself, becoming, or the physicality of potential and the multiplicity of objecthood may be glossed over by everyday grammar and economy, but they are available to us.

Neuroplasticity is permission: we are not restricted to a world of extensive objects, when the intensive has so much potential.

This is why I refuse to accept that building for "revealed preferences" is the best approach. 

We are 2 or 3 generations deep into being mentally programmed by web2 style ad-driven technology. Our neutral pathways have been programmed by this technology to function a certain way. 

If we just focus on building web3 to tap into these same neurological patterns, then we'll get the same resulting technology, just built on a different foundation.

We have to help ppl be willing to enter a state of plasticity for awhile and learn new behaviors enabled by programmable money.
