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...

"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?

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!
