This is inspiring for me as a writer-illustrator, and as a web3 builder. Thank you very much indeed!

I wish I was optimistic as you. A network of completely decentralized creators generates an unmanageable cacophony of tiny voices demanding attention all at once. I cannot review every new song released on the Internet... it's not humanly possible. So I have to rely on trusted proxies to do a lot of the heavy work for me.

And DAOs typically fail on a utopian belief that humans are the problem in business, as opposed to the asset, and that we can render out all the humans in a machine-to-machine universe of finite rules and order. Oliver Hart's 2015 Nobel Prize in Economics on incomplete contracts proves the folly of this idea to begin with.

Technology is a classic displacement game. Not so much fixing problems as moving them elsewhere. Sometimes that's greatly advantageous. Sometimes it's disastrous. Usually it's a little of both. Technology always gives us the illusion of running to stand still.
