What is the motivation and purpose of this project?
Web3 & crypto has become a massive phenomenon. Big claims are made for its impact extending to the transformation of our economy and society. It is also exceptionally controversial and polarizing with significant disagreement. Finally, it’s not an easy topic to make sense of.
The phenomenon has global implications and touches on multiple complex areas. We require good, collective sensemaking, or else risk polarization. As a “runaway problem”, the investment of attention and money has grown exponentially. Should Web3 fail to deliver on its promises, the waste would be massive. In addition, with such fast-growing phenomena, things happen before we can notice, far less prevent them (eg climate change).
We need to make good choices, in a constructive, intersectional and de-polarizing way. Do we advance Web3 or curb it? How should we allocate our resources? Good sensemaking begins by clarifying and agreeing on what questions to ask and the process of answering them.
