I agree with most of what you say. Especially regarding the potential for p2p. but I think it will take time and a continuing shift in social values
I agree, it will take a lot of time. This has to grow organically, and it has to be a change in behavior both from the creator and the consumer side.
Adam Curry is leading the way with Podcasting 2.0 and the Value4Value concept.
I think the time is ripe to do something similar for the web at large, hence the Value-Enabled Web idea.
Browsers should be able to parse value information (like lightning addresses, etc) and enable value flows natively. Alby is on the right track with the introduction of Lightning meta tags for HTML and so on:

It will ALL take too much time, it seems to me. Too much for me at least. I desperately need a new mindset, framework to find a purpose in the world that is too slow for what I dream and hope to see in my lifetime. I believe in afterlife, so I will see it all from up there in the end - and this is uplifting. But still it's hard to live day by day in this world, where it seems I was born too early.

if you believe in an afterlife then consider the potential that you were born in the right time to play some important role in the creation of that world you expect to see well after you pass from this existence.
What could you build that you aren't yet? Or what are you building that you haven't finished yet?

Thank you.

It's all happening very quickly in the grand scheme of things. Not too long ago Lightning was just a proposal. First Lightning Conference in Berlin, 50% of payments didn't work, even though everyone knew what they were doing. Now I'm receiving streaming payments every minute, and Lightning payments rarely fail, if ever.
Podcasting 2.0 exists.
Lightning Addresses exist.
Soon we'll have recurring payments (already works if you use Oak) and hopefully reusable payment codes that work without a server, ala BOLT12 offers.
I'm confident that amazing things will happen in the next years. ⚡🧡
