To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.

upstream protection & network effects

take any publication for example

a journalist can have a few bad weeks of content & will still survive to produce more content in the next given the network itself derisks any individual node risk, eg. salary, other journalists & their content, publication brand equity & reputation, monetization, etc.

further an undiscovered journalists can tap into the network to gain notoriety & readers given the established network effects (distro)

consider this against zoras new erc20 mechanism where new creators are simply left to fend for themselves

so outside of any attention capture event whereby a single actor with a large following effectively replaces the need for proper distribution… creators, users & collectors are largely left carrying all the risk

so as networks consolidate, for example, the winners on zora are susceptible to poachment on incremental fees or via some other easy vampire-style mechanism as there is nothing to prevent such behaviors

& losers just lose

"The Democratic Republic of Congo’s army has appeared too weak and dysfunctional to stop a militia that has swept through the eastern part of the country in recent weeks. The militia, called M23, has seized two major cities, two strategic airports and large stretches of Congolese territory." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/business/cartoon-gaza-israel-gannett-fired.html

Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Genuine love should first be directed at oneself if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?
