“I don’t know what weapons Web3 will be fought with, but Web4 will be fought with sticks and stones.”
— Albert Einstein
@hankgreen have you concluded that web 3.0 remains a solution in search of a problem?
@BridgetClinch @hankgreen This is absolutely true.

@techsquidtv @hankgreen what's with the cult like fanaticism?

It seems like these people are just toddlers with money and freedom, and they ran a certain direction based on ideology, yet the products they're trying to push are antithetical to their ideology, and no one wants or needs what they're pushing.

@hankgreen Great to see you here, Hank. I hope you're able to find some traction and good interactions on Mastodon!
@hankgreen i think blockchain is a cool technology that doesn’t actually have any use, so theres this “new-frontierism” in attempting to implent it in systems that do not need it.
@hankgreen Was so tempted to reply with a facetious response, but the the reality is that without a greater level of collective social and corporate/governance maturity and responsibility, this is probably true ... apart from the sticks and stones become a metaphor for whatever human nastiness perseveres in virtual spaces
@hankgreen fancy seeing you here
@hankgreen Apparently web2 is being fought with cookies.

@catselbow
I'd rather have a cookie fight than a brawl with sticks and stones

(I love Web 2.0)
@hankgreen

@hankgreen Way back in the 1950’s. People don’t give Einstein enough credit, he truly was a man ahead of his time 😌
@hankgreen Epale Hank! Super nice seeing you here! Just wanted to say that the Carl duology of novels was instrumental in how I approach social media and I’m super happy to have read them!
@hankgreen
The web3 grifters remind me of these two dudes that would pop up on late night tv in the late 90's trying to sell McDonald's Beanie Babies for hundreds of dollars.

@hankgreen on Web3 people won't own weapons, they'll just own virtual tokens that represent weapons. /s
