I was partially home-schooled and I think it may have contributed differently to my adult spectrum of cognition. Kids who grew up during the pandemic with more remote learning might also be wired somewhat differently. GenZ have a noticeable preference for freelancing and the Creator Economy ("creating their own job"), so I'm noticeably hyper-aware of how education and value creation will shift as more industries face automation and A.I. augmenting many of the tasks within corporations.
Clearly Capitalism and ownership structures need to become more distributed or die. Or we risk revolution and civil war. Inflation, lower trust in Government and wealth inequality could bring American capitalism to its knees in just a few generations.
That's agood point. Being raised in as business in a home also gives one a unique perspective and it is a continual learning environment- which made me also an outsider at school - which also affects one's perspective. I am in absolute agreement that covid became a game changer in ways that no one predicted.
At this time with all the unregulated forces entering into home ownership fron non-profit housing trusts to AirBnb's to for-profit investor groups packaging single family homes into investment packages (out of which is emerging a the worse renter nightmare stories), what other plan is there to get home ownership back into the hands of the people than my idea using the museum of American Designer Crfatsmen as fiscal sponsor?
If non-profit ownership of housing gets by under the rubric of "affordable workforce housing" then so do businesses in a home, but businesses in a home resonate with the meaning of the Great Resignation- that the workers know that they are the pawns in the game, see the future and want to get off the main road. If you chart the course of history starting with the days when the cottage industries were the means of production, to the present, and projecting into the future, traveling on the main road- what does it look like? Deeply dystopian!
It makes you wonder how people are investing and spending a lot of money for Metaverse real-estate with NFTs these days? Sounds more dystopian than utopian when many of us can't even find a real place to live with rent inflation. The same investors in Substack apparently. Yuga Labs, the web3 company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club, disrupted the entire Ethereum blockchain as a flood of users rushed (this weekend) to purchase NFTs representing virtual plots of land in its upcoming metaverse project, Otherside.
Mackenzie, congrats on your writing and ideas in The Individual vs The Empire.
IMHO Individual (and distributed) thinking, efforts, and actions are always more "promising", progressive, and far preferable to Centralized (or Imperial modes).
