This sounds interesting. What do I need to know / learn to be part of this?

  Decentralised network? Good question, there's a lot of things that are not very practical just yet. Name dropping off the top of my head: IPFS, Veilid, Dat, hypercore, maybe even Urbit (yes I know). Maybe simply not putting our entire lives on the internet. Counter-economics? Get infatuated with anarchism, the free-market variant, mutualism, read up on agorism (on my reading list is "How to Opt-Out of the Technocratic State" by Derrick Broze), understand that cryptocurrencies, with all their problems, could be the only tool to take down a capitalist system from the inside the more our rights are stripped away. People, and the market itself, do not care about laws or prohibition. For the first time in history, we have a way to exchange value that does not respect borders or physical constraints. Even mainstream economists such as Milton Friedman believed such an invention could radically reshape the world. [1] That's an open discussion, nothing I can go over in a forum comment, and there is no panacea. I'm simply exploring the option that it might be possible to have a fairer world, while collectively we have decided this is the best we can do, and point and laugh at whoever tries to dispute that. We have lost the idealism of the thinkers of the last two centuries, those that fought tooth and nail for civil and worker rights. Now all you get is a pin saying "I voted!" Feel free to email me to discuss any of these topics. 1: https://youtu.be/leqjwiQidlk?si=vSjt743jJ-yjsPfI https://youtu.be/leqjwiQidlk?si=vSjt743jJ-yjsPfI

    Thanks for your detailed reply. I shall use this as a jumping off point for further explorations.
