That's honestly weird for me, that many tech-geeks say humanities people "don’t get it", yet one of the MOST RESPECTED books here is The Sovereign Individual.
(even the translation I read was done by volunteers from the #Bitcoin community, not some publisher)
James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg both were essentially writers (serious intellectual ones, but still writers, not engineers). They spent time around technical and financial circles, then reframed those signals into big civilizational predictions.
This leads to the obvious conclusion: #revolution needs two roles 1) people who build the systems and 2) people who translate them into ideas others can UNDERSTAND
I’m clearly not a builder, but I dream of becoming this translator
