Britney Spears battling with her father
- Her father seems to have had a very tough upbringing. It always amazes me that people can be struggling in the states. That there are dead end towns with no opportunities

- Increasing access to fundamental goods. Health care, housing and education prices are going up while technology is supposed to be driving prices down, why is this, could be an interesting areas :thoughts:career:

I am very optimistic about the future of tech, at least in the domains where software-driven innovation is allowed.
- ”Software is a lever on the real world” > Software is alchemy that turns bytes into actions by and on atoms. It’s the closest thing we have to magic.
- Argues that software should start touching the above areas that the majority of people still struggle to get access to.
- His take on crypto is also very interesting. :Crypto: represents the
right wing side of tech. The shift in architecture is the idea of
distributed consensus
- worth thinking about the shift in incentive structures
-
Consider also what this means for incentives. Up until now, collaborative human effort online either took the form of a literal adoption of real-world corporate norms — a company with a web site — or an open source project like Linux that had no money directly attached. With crypto, you can now create thousands of new kinds of incentive systems for collaborative work online, since participants in a crypto project can get paid directly without a real-world company even needing to exist. As great as open source software development has been, far more people are willing to do far more things for money than for free, and all of a sudden all those things become possible and even easy to do. Again, it will take 30 years to work through the consequences of this, but I don’t think it’s crazy that this could be a civilizational shift in how people work and get paid.
