Looking at how $DEGEN Season 6 has wiped out many well-established, kind, & generous folks unable to "buy in" at the allowance level which their months of generosity & valuable content had brought them - or were unwilling to participate in a system that privileges excess capital over any other factor, I'm more convinced than ever that we need philosopher-builders in Web3. https://paragraph.xyz/@degenaissancedigest/philosophy-for-web3-builders

Thanks for writing this, Edward. I did not know of John Rawls until today! Web3 (or whatever, I can't get into that label no matter how much I try haha) as a means to value/reward writers and readers and writer-readers is what fascinates me. The "indie" world of self-publishing was a liberating step in the right direction. But the chains still bind and older expectations still sting.

Thanks, Mark... Rawls, along with the 18th Century English philosopher David Hume have been great and positive influences on my own critical thinking. Agree with your thoughts re: labels on the Web, the importance of valuing both readers and writers, and the currently disappointing state of traditional/W2/W3 approaches to the latter are among the things I hope to address in greater detail once I get through my current workload associated with my latest book project! 😅
