In the post-individualism era, stigmas are being broken, rules are evolving, fabric of relationships are changing.
New meanings of the new world!
A Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) is any sufficiently decentralized network that uses cryptography and mechanism design to ensure a client can request physical services from a set of providers — breaking the natural monopoly and providing the benefits of competition.
Why DePIN matters, and how to make it work
The limiting factor isn't finding or training rare talent – it's just compute.
Dwarkesh Patel • What fully automated firms will look like

I call this the third labor — Relational Labor.
Relational labor is an essential layer embedded alongside manual and cognitive labor — rooted in presence, context, commitment, and care. It’s the kind of work that doesn’t always show up in metrics, but you feel it in morale, momentum, and trust. And it runs through so many modern roles: cofounders,... See more
