Clearly your podcast episode of
@villageglobal Stories with@kmikeym had a real impact on you, and I think there is real potential in this (so much so I have considered pursuing it)

@LambdaSchool is already doing that. Alongside that, we might see the development of personal boards (trusted advisors / mentors that help you with life stuff in exchange for personal equity) Also, I suspect we'll see more of@adventur_es-style PE & more@indievc-style VC. -
VR today is still not a thing, despite the buckets of investment. I think it won't take off til ~2030. AR will be used sooner, and mainly for industrial applications. True VR penetration requires smaller form factor and ways to simulate other sensory experience (touch, smell)

We'll begin to recognize that reading is, in fact, a valuable skill that most folks suck at. In the future, more people invest time and effort learning how to read properly.
@farnamstreet and@fortelabs among others have been championing this view for a while now. -

A huge skill today, but even more so in the future, will be the ability condense tons of info and optimize your summary for public consumption.

Super cool idea! This is a real investment hack right here. Investing in the right person is like investing in an index fund of future inventions and businesses. And if tokenized, patronage-investing would decentralize and empower art & commerce like never before.

sounds like either a modern version of indentured servitude, or the early version of some dystopian future in which every person is valued in dollars if I’m being playful

to me this seems like an idea that looks much better than it actually is, so the converse, evidence: grave yard of failed attempts, Yale TPP, Australia HECS, New Z/Sweden/Ghana. ICL ->my rich uncle->lumni->Upstart Hopefully I'm wrong though.
