Paramendra BhagatAmazon Was Web 1
Amazon was a bookstore. But it was not Barnes & Noble digitized. You still got physical books in the mail. What was amazing was the largeness of the offering that simply was not possible in any physical store. This was new. Amazon was launched at a time when you had to be patient and a photo would download. Now Amazon is an everything store. It even sells movies. In fact, it has become a behemoth to disrupt. Web 3 wants to disrupt Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple. Ye...
Paramendra BhagatDefeating Putin In Donbas Is The Cheap, Easy Option
As I follow Zelensky in this war, I am constantly reminded of this book I read just a few months ago. At that time there was no inkling of Putin’s invasion. I read the book because I am perennially interested in Abraham Lincoln’s life and work. Lincoln was not even a soldier. It was not a war he had chosen. He became a student of war in the White House. And because his instincts were right, and he stood on the side of justice and liberty, he seems to have made all sorts of right war moves. If...
Paramendra BhagatTo Seek Only A Military Solution Is Dangerous
In eastern Ukraine, to seek only a military solution is dangerous. I admire the work of military strategists, intelligence officials, and governments who have stepped into supplying the needed hardware. Most of all I admire the brave men and women of the Ukrainian military who make the ultimate sacrifice daily. But we can never lose sight of the larger purpose and the higher ground. Ultimately this is about peace, liberty, and justice. Eisenhower warned of the “military-industrial complex.” H...

The Blockchain capabilities are being built, but that is not where I start. I start with the size of the biggest problems in the world. Because now we can hope to tackle them.
The Blockchain is not trickle down. You necessarily have to start with the dollar a day people. Their problem is your problem.
If I could get a correctly structured DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) populated by enough Afghan refugees who reside in free-speech countries, I could topple the Taliban. I am confident. I have done this once before. And that was before Facebook. I used primitive tools like mailing lists and the most rudimentary blog.
The Blockchain is permissionless. The incorrect approach will be to go to a corrupt country and ask, please tell me which of your laws to follow. We follow We The People. And those people make the laws.
Technology is but tool. Like your thumb is a tool. Right and wrong rest in the spiritual domain and there the struggle has to be total. This very Age Of Abundance that is upon us was promised in the scriptures thousands of years ago.
As I read about Ukraine, daily, I ask, where is the Russian diaspora at, where is the Ukrainian diaspora at, where is the Syrian diaspora at, where is the Yemeni diaspora at? The Chinese diaspora is the biggest of them all, and it asks for the correctly structured DAO.
And all with the imperfect union in the background. That would be the good old USA.
