Thanks for sharing this Greg. My friends and I are Physicians with creative tendencies. Actually a couple of us were connected on TRWIH Discord! Cheers
I loved this essay—thank you for sharing. I feel where you're coming from, especially being raised in rural Montana. I'm excited to see what the future holds.
What happens if you submit the project but it is not approved by the company (and you don't get paid) even though you delivered what's required? Or what happens if you are a company, and the developer you hired also sold the widget they developed to your competitor?
It sounds cool, but very clearly written by a man who never had to do or think about childcare in his life (other than on an ad-hoc basis). Obviously this is just a brief snippet, but for most working mothers (and some fathers), arranging childcare is as central to everyday life as work is, because without childcare, no work gets done. Does it get paid out of the wallet as well, and perhaps the nanny flies in? Let's hope the future is more inclusive...
I guess my issue here is that this scenario (like so many future work scenarios) just magically waves away children until you are ready to take them for a hike -- because the authors of these scenarios are generally men who by default assume that someone else (i.e. the mum) will take care of the kids until it's fun time.
"You rest easy, knowing that tomorrow there will be another opportunity for fulfilling, well paid work, collaborative passion projects, and supporting the creators you care about."
For me, this is a perfect way to describe the web 3.0 vision.
Like web 2.0 is making sure that everything you could want is at your feet - but you have to spend a lot of effort searching for it - as an individual, as a creative - constantly, I'm sifting through a needle in a haystack. It's part of the work, but right now, it's a lot of grunt work - searching, vetting, putting yourself out there.
for web 3.0 - what if the most meaningful experiences found you? what if every day you found the opportunities that you didn't have to vet, that you were into, that seemed like they were made for you? Maybe we could relax, we could have coffee instead of constantly - advertising, vetting, pulling teeth - to get the opportunities that specifically, we'd be an excellent fit for?

Visualised very well Greg ☺️👍
Seems like a pretty interesting future.

I've been thinking about exactly that passion project for a while...if there's anyone that knows DAOs and wants to chat hmu -> twitter @andresfguerral
IMO this is 2023, not 2030, shit will be waaaaay weirder in 2030

I wrote it from one POV. Would be cool if others remixed this and wrote it from the millions of other POVs out there!

Awesome take on it. I really hope this will come into reality.
Good read
I feel web3 might disconnect more than ever before from the “real” world
Well, it is a pinky-shiny future, but yes, we got the idea and maybe true!
How many people are employed by Walmart and Amazon? 40million? 150 million?
