Re: History

I think I'm rambling, but I'm adding to this thread:

I don't know. Sometimes I suspect that due to professionalization* that the
same group gets all of the spoils regardless of where the innovation
actually originated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professionalization

I'm all for an egalitarian culture where you don't have to be employed by
X, or certified by Y to get recognition for a good idea. One can get into
one's head after many months and years working for free (especially if it
is something that is niche not yet recognized by broader society). How much
is true, I don't know. One can really get into one's head.

I developed EISPP** as a concept many years ago. Although I got some
enthusiasm online, and even early on locally, it was not sustained and I
got into my head and grew afraid and worn out financing $1000 trips so I
could travel to get more support, and working on a passion project for
free. Hindsight 20/20, I should have. I should have bought a ton of crypto
currency too so my focus wasn't split between worrying about my financial
future and thus worrying about many people's interests and building
something out. Maybe too I could hire people who have similar interests but
are also worried about their financial future so feel pressured to choose
something else.

Fortunately, I'm liking the ceramic network.

* (then again I could have easily bought ethereum and bitcoin and XRP when
they were newer....not my idea...but definitely crossing the desk).
