Coming from the land of water—California’s original pioneering technology—and excited to venture North to this strange frontier, this wild third wave of the web, I wrote an open letter to the Edge Esmeralda community. At the height of the Great Depression, we built the Colorado River Aqueduct. Not just an engineering marvel, but a civic leap of faith. Modular construction, new concrete chemistries, and institutions like Kaiser were forged in that desert. What today is equal in ambition to the Colorado River Aqueduct? What equivalently forges trust beyond any single city to fuel the creation of a globe striding Megaregion? (Not stablecoins. Not even AI.) Not looking for clever answers—just inviting your curiosity. Your fire. Your half-baked ideas that scare you to share. Let’s build bridges between worlds and dream the impossible dream.
