In the end, one can see collective curation to be the path moving forward, and to go back to biblical prophecies mentioned prior, if biting from the “forbidden apple” made us Godlike, maybe the fault was in the individualistic approach to “an all encompassing being” -the internet has given us the opportunity to become enlightened communities, if we

I see metalabels, or small and extremely value-aligned media DAOs, as a possible solution to the crisis in tastemaking.A lot of web3 media thinkers talk about the curation layer of media.

I'm so thankful that I'm an addict and that I'm an alcoholic, because I have these people. And without that addiction and alcoholism and without coming to the point where I could admit that, I don't know that I would have ever had a bond with such an amazing group of people as this.
