Thanks for your thoughts. I especially like your last paragraph:
“Perhaps we need to establish bounties on solving creative thinking issues, and abstract them to not just typical "re-design, this with nostr" use cases, but apply this idiomatic to actually generating ways that society can function better, with less govt reliance, because this is all as currently observed, just very very 1.0 stuff... lets go to 3.0 and then 4.0, and build self sustaining networks that can remove large swaths of the GDP, for example, or do other powerful things, like eliminate the need to work...”
happy to contribute to the discussion.
I think the biggest things moving forward as a society (both as individuals and individuals as parts of groups) gaining inter-correlated self sufficiency are going to be on the community level,
and as things move forward, people will gain trust in themselves, and their neighbors again, and folks they live around.
what i'm egging at here is multifold, but in specificity, we need to foster a barter and skilled trade economy, and make this work to reduce the negative impact of what's coming. re:cbdc's. the BIS and the IMF have been working on their pilot programs for the greater bit of 15 years now, on and off in various parts of the world, and it's coming together at an alarming, and quiet rate.
if we're to keep people living how they want and even improve their quality of life, people need to start functioning differently, and by this i mean moving away from their acclimatized transactional behavior.
I've got a wonderful idea for a site to accomplish just this, but it's been a real burden trying to find people that can actually see the good it would accomplish, rather than just me waving money in front of them and saying here, lets code this thing. I'm doing it this way for two reasons - i don't actually have the money to pay them, and its a turing test for those who can actually see the thing, and why it's so sorely needed in our world today. (i have the dedicated debian server, and a great domain all set up and waiting to go..) :) the project is called "will trade" and i've got willtrade.org
but anyhow, I digress, for the time being.

I hope project “will trade” works out well.
Keep us posted please - on stacker news or whatever platform/protocol works well for you.

Thank you so very much.. I will.
Right now I've got one guy in Italy that wants to work on it, and looking for a few other good folks. anyone interested can drop a line to hello@yeshua.is and let me know what they're good at.
There are some notes about how it would function here, for anyone reading this and intrigued:
