      2/ my take on it is that if you have a crowd of competent people who have shipbuilding skills, you've already solved 95% of the problem - motivation remains, tho. With motivation, self-organization also arises.https://twitter.com/micahodor/status/1471526918172430338 …

      I hate this quote and think it's wrong. Lots of people walk around yearning for the sea but can't actually build a ship.

          "Can't actually build a ship" Where I come from the saying is "It's a poor wife who can't build her own boat" with the additional constraint that she has more or less only an axe for tooling.

          Money works pretty well in the interim, tho. Although I think the larger point about "how do you get a bunch of people to coordinate around a goal that isn't immediately profitable to them?: Answer: Shift their utility functions to align more with said goal.

          When JFK said “man on the moon by the end of the decade,” people latched onto that vision & made it happen. We’ve had moon-landing tech for 50 years now but the yearning to go there, the vision, has been absent.

          Knowledge and skills can be acquired, but without motivation ain't nothing getting done.

          Was thinking much along the same lines, with sufficient yearning, people would motivate themselves to learn the necessary skills. Peopled yearned to fly and leveraged that to learn the skills necessary to invent the airplane.
