Stuff we're thinking about lately (2022 edition)
Web3 as a socio-economic operating system.

Metaverses. Is ownership of digital assets the only way to give the metaverse enough utility to become mainstream?
Post-individualism. The creator economy made us lonely and isolated, constantly competing for attention on platforms we do not own. How might we create in multiplayer mode?
Algorithmic culture. How does algorithmic curation continue to shape what we consume, like and create relationships with?
