Thank you for reading! & we definitely do.
reminds me of the akspi creed:
"...We live in deeds, not years;
In thought, not breath;
In service, not in figures on the dial.
We count time by heart throbs,
When they beat for God, for man, for duty.
He lives most who thinks most,
Is noblest, acts the best."
"To a first approximation, all of the returns to college accrue to the top handful of STEM students."
This was 100% my college experience. Started off in a non-stem major, but luckily switched over & even got to keep a good amount of credits. Has made literally all the difference in my life. & of course this was against the prevailing advice I was receiving at the time, but I paid the weird looks and snide comments no mind.
I think Youtubers and their Patreon communities are probably the closest thing I can see right now.
For just about any niche there is a youtuber(s) creating content and building a loyal community. I mainly see it in entertainment - "Come to my comedy show" or "Come to my tribe-exclusive album listening party" "buy and wear the merch" etc.
But I see this evolving into - Full fledged academies(think Saifedean online academy), members only Job boards(Bitcoiner Jobs?), and even members only housing(kind of like when people reserve a block of hotel rooms for an event to get a better price for guests, who's to say that can't be done for like a whole floor or building at an apartment complex and you have the option of living with other people in the tribe)
Over time it will just be normalized as the quality of the experience outcompetes the status quo.
Great post, I agree on so much & have been thinking about this a lot as well. Mainly thinking from the perspective of new social interactions being built on the internet or old ones being replatformed - memberships, tribes etc. What happens when every aspect of your life is tied to or provided through your affiliation with a digital-first network? (entertainment, education, work, shelter etc.)
I really like your take on Bitcoin being best positioned for digital commerce and how it suffers when brought to meatspace. An opportunity for innovation.
