You made a huge point but is this hostility or trying to bring to our attention what's missing?

Yeah it’s all a marketing shit in my opinion lol. I don’t get into debates with people on it but it’s shit I think.

I'm reminded of an old truism/saying from where I grew up:

*"The Pastor made a long speech and said nothing at all!"*

The jargon surrounding Web 3.0 feels a bit like that. 

Without a doubt, the web is evolving. However, it also seems like each iteration of *"New and Improved"* is little more than putting a new dress on what already exists. What I find *disturbing* is that everybody somehow operates under the ~~illusion~~ delusion that *their* system is somehow exempt from the fundamentals of human psychology and behavior.

=^..^=

Web 3 is not bullshit. If it wasn't for web 3, the covid doomers might have actually succeeded in scaring the world into believing their bullshit and the MSM lies. 

Web 3 allowed many, many different outlets to pop up that weren't wholesale controlled by centralized authorities or established enterprise legacy media conglomerates. 

Where would we be if we didn't have all the archive footage of the creators of mRNA and Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR, calling out Anthony Fauci, the NIH and big pharma?

NONE of that was allowed on Youtube. To this day, you cannot find the original video of Kary Mullis on Youtube saying that Anthony Fauci is responisble for AIDs from the 1990s. 

You know where you can find those videos easily? On Odysee or on Bitchute or on Theta or here on Hive, for that matter. 

I know what Web 3 projects you hate, I think, and I also don't like those projects but saying all of Web 3 is bullshit isn't taking a holistic view of Web 3.

> I've had an internet job for a decade now, I work in the back end of the internet, I've worked with venture capital, I've worked with startups, I've worked in corporate, and I've seen how it operates. I'd like to think that experience taught me a few things, that I share with you in my blog but people choose to ignore.

> Most people spouting off web 3 don't even know how a webpage loads in their browser, so how can you trust anything they say? If you have no clue how the thing you're supposedly improving works, how do you know you're improving on it?

Dear @chekohler, What is web 3?
 I understood that web 3 was part of the internet browser.

Is web 3 a business company that earns advertising fees based on the number of views people get?

I am sorry for many questions!😅

People make a big deal about "cloud computing" as if it's some big deal, but I've been using "cloud computing" since 1997.  Back then it was called HoTMaiL (web-based e-mail, many years before it was acquired by Microsoft).

Let's start with the proposition that Web3 is just marketing bullshit.  It sounds nice compared to what came before, and it even offers hints at a paradigm shift, but behind the words is the reality that BS is BS.

How do we move from the BS of Web3 to make Web3 what it truly needs to be from your perspective?  For me, there are 3 points which need to be addressed:

* At a minimum, it needs to be decentralized in the way the Internet was meant to be: resilient enough to survive the impacts of a nuclear strike or a natural catastophe.

* When it comes to communication via e-mail, it has to be secure from start to finish, which was never a consideration when SMTP was established in the early days of the Internet.

* With KYC involved in _everything_, how do we divorce things like MAC Addresses and IEMI numbers from accounts so that there is some measure of privacy if not anonymity?  If that divorce can't happen, could some layer be added where identifiers get scrambled first?

If the real Web3 can offer these things at a minimum, then I think maybe we have something closer to what you envision.  If not, then we need to be honest with the situation you presented here and stop fooling ourselves.

It reminds me of the old adage. Ask an Electrician what is electricity?
They won't be able to answer you because we don't know. They know how to use it, manipulate it, and connect it. But to know what it is, they don't know.

You can repeat the same story with mobile phones, no one really knows how they work and now your adage with the internet and web3.

Great post! :)

Its about the same level of bollocks as the suggestion that PoS is anything different to the way the current financial systems work. Whales are just the same as big traditional shareholders and carry the same power in the 'token economy' as the big shareholders wield in the traditional stock market based economy.

Marketing aside, is this the natural evolution of the web? Or this revolutionary?  What are the alternatives to this hot mess?  Or is this the best we have? 

If this is not it, what's is it?

I've known deep down for a while that it's all just a game. The whole "Web 1" phenomenon, the "connectedness" of Web 2, the "decentralization" of blockchains and cryptos... and now the "ownership" of Web 3. All steaming piles alongside the same cart path we've been walking.

And we *are* including #Hive in this conversation too, right? These "Web 3" claims are a prominent feature of Hivian philosophy... that we are owners of our experience, staked community members with our hands on the wheel.

These discussions are important, but so complex! I appreciate any prompt like this which will lift even a thread of the veil here and there. So thanks! 🙏

Have you talked to Theycallmedan? He's quite knowledgeable on the subject, and could probably explain Web 3 better than most.

## Here, I Will Take a Stab at Defining Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is an evolutionary phenomena in the self-actualization of the web-o-sphere as mankind and machine-kind converge a priori in a bi-laterally connected thesis/anti-thesis pattern that leads to a transcendent congnitive state.

To bring in an expert on this evolutionary paradigm shift, I quote [Sub Pearce](https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/) which does a better job at generating this stuff than me.

> We are in the midst of an eternal condensing of science that will let us access the cosmos itself. Humankind has nothing to lose. Who are we? Where on the great myth will we be reborn?

> By deepening, we self-actualize. Consciousness consists of morphic resonance of quantum energy. “Quantum” means a flowering of the life-affirming. Nothing is impossible.

## PS Thanks for Calling Out the Absurdity of the Rhetoric Surrounding Web 3.0

Buzz words are often used by people don't really understand that the technology. It is really scary that a large number of people calling themselves Web 3.0 experts display a poor understanding of basic finance and economics.

They also have no idea about internet history. I think the best way to pop-bubbles is to point out that Web 2.0 was really just a marketing event held by O'Reilly Media in 2004.
