The separation from the data that makes old networks valuable allows for a new era of creative design. Focused strongly on user-experiences, less on user extraction. 

Creativity thrives best when this separation can exist, as the recent reaction of Frames proves. 

Chris leans into nicely into software = creativity.

The decentralization networks have a compounding effect.  Allows for VC to compound *probability* of returns when orgs the use the same network or intermediaries. 

Hypothetically, a16z may want to fund stand alone org building Frames on Farcaster to grow chances of return for the network or Warpcast.

“Three eras of networks” brings to mind the importance of how Merkle Manuf. proceeded with its building of the Farcaster protocol and its subsequent “separation” as Warpcast. 

How the team masterfully did a stage 1 separation mid-flight, and continues in its mission in space. 

A master plan.

The introduction lays down some masterful groundwork. 

Setting up the scenarios for all that is wrong or right about our current internet culture. 

> “Pause for a moment: Social networks, whether in person or online, are the essence of human connection and coordination.”

Credibly neutral. 

Never deeply understood the purpose in it understanding the history of RSS and how Wired tried to compete with a Facebook via non-profit model. 

Learning about this first here on Farcaster and through its community.

Reading this book is a perfect example of what happens when you tap deep into intellectual optimistic networks. 

A lot of words author uses, technical in nature, I learned from becoming heavily committed to the Farcaster community and its network. 

Reading the mind of one and seeing it in the network of many.

How does America win this battle?

> “United States is already losing its lead in this new movement, with the share of global software developers here going from 40 percent to 29 percent in the past five years”

To evoke aha’s are serious business. 

Plato’s cave. The beginning of cave scriptures. Where future civilizations will derive understanding and meaning.

Coding literacy will be biggest barrier as language and literacy have always been the barrier, and will continue to be so.
