Phase of Value

From Friedrich Nietzsche, he said the concept of one thought "Drei Verwandlungen" and similar to the phase of value:

  • elderly: money

  • lion: contribution

  • child: play

1.1/x - elderly: money We build our society and protocol with history based on what we have from the past, gold, materials, and rule. It is like a person bearing all that stuff on their back and moving to the destination.

1.2/x - elderly: money In this way, the group can use those resources to deal with new challenges. However, there is a big backlash to adapting to the new environment, Maslow's hammer mindset.

2.1/x - lion: contribution In this phase, people start to value the contribution to the whole group, instead of some physical owning. In that way, people would fight for honor, just to be remembered in history, like in Rome.

2.2/x - lion: contribution It needs to be built upon a mature resources offering system. Otherwise living would be a problem for those who can't contribute to the social value. We are living on the most end of the elderly: money system, and toward would be a lion: contribution.

2.3/x - lion: contribution Spare time and resources reach the historical high, people would need to find a way to release their contribution otherwise it would offload to society and create chaos.

2.4/x

Three core to build the lion-contribution:

  • protocol to distribute the contribution

  • idea/resource/action aggregator

  • knowledge offering system

Everyone has the opportunity to learn, and contribute with their best path, then get contribution value according to this.

3/x Child: Play

In this phase, money and contribution have been utilized at their best. It is hard to imagine what it would be like. Still attempt to guess:

  • create would be the major activities

  • activities would be estimated as the value

Is that web3? Sound interesting.

Our current phase

From elderly: money to the lion: contribution

Need 20-100 years to fully transition to the lion phase. After that, rather it would diminish back to the elderly or head toward to child, depending on if the lion phase's core is solid enough, also integrity.
