story:
I began something in 2018. A journey into the web. The predominant theme(s) of this site, and my stories, are to persist the difference in thinking and learnings pre/post this period, tracking it's evolution.

Prior to 2018, I held a superficial views. The world operated through physical networks (tangible resources), enhanced by digital networks (data), powered by capital (fiat). Then I read Data Capital - Global Big Data & AI by Merrill Lynch Investment Research, in search of investment opportunities in the digital space e.g. cloud computing, storage, AI, big data, etc. The line that caused me to reconsider everything:

"90% of the worlds data has been created in the last 2Y" - 2017

Since reading those lines, I went off the deep end in understanding technology and data. Each discovery prompted a deeper philosophical question of my own beliefs. Till a new belief emerged. The path that created this new emergence of thought:

1. Bitcoin
>
2. data science
>
3. Roam Research
>
4. Prove
>
5. Twitter
>
6. Farcaster

Each of these resemble a structure with inherent ideas. Teaching me an evolution of paradigms I previously misunderstood. Shifting societies from physical networks to digital networks.

1. digital money
>
2. digital networks
>
3. digital tools for thought
>
4. digital identities
>
5. digital social
>
6. digital communities

_{This is not an exhaustive list. Representative of bigger iterations of learning.}

Iterating through each stage unlocked fundamental ideas that built upon a priori. Shaping my new belief, the world will operate through digital networks (data), enhanched by physical networks (tangible resources), powered by capital (crypto).

In large part, a lot of my work today is to focus on contributing towards a more frictionless & connected "digitally-native society". And writing about it, here.

P.S. Many of the ideas described above are evolved thoughts, from originally abstracted or obscurely held views, thoughts that will continue to evolve.

P.S.S. Today, December 16th, 2022, the next piece of this puzzle gets added. Digital ownership and fashion begins to unlock the crypto adoption I have waited for. I'll spend the rest of my life's work here. AI x Fashion x Crypto = 'digitally-native lives' with enriched physically native lives.
