Some useful rules around Web3:

1. The most beautiful and innovative things being done in the Web3 space are much more beautiful and innovative than anything you will do in your life.

2. The most dastardly things being done in the Web3 space are much more dastardly than anything you will do in your life.

Now for the two broad camps of people I see here:

a. People who think 2. is not relevant to pursuing 1.

b. People who think 2. can never justify pursuing 1. – or even finding out about it.

Look at the kids: the day is better spent curious.

Both 1 and 2 are nonsense. I am very curious about blockchains (Etherium primarily), but so far have not seen any web3 projects that are more “beautiful” than Electric Counterpoint by Reich or more “dastardly” than the holocaust.

If you mean that both of these are achievable on an individual level, then I fail to see how coding an idea has any more potential to achieve these extremes than using a paintbrush.

Look at the kids: they get far more excited by video games than DeFi.
