Factory worker, construction worker, warehouse worker, retail worker.
When labor becomes electricity, the cost of physical goods hyperdeflates. The robotic economy holds the promise of making everything far cheaper, of ushering in an age of abundance.
We just need to get to the other side of this coming economic disruption in one societal piece.

Social media increases social volatility.
Going viral, getting canceled, large gains or losses in status.
Digital currency increases financial volatility.
Going to the moon, getting rekt, large gains or losses in financial status.
We're still in the middle of this ongoing social and financial earthquake.
The internet has given a voice to the voiceless, taken the prestige from the prestigious, given a bank to the bankless, taken the power to print from the printing press.
Some of these changes are transient, here today and gone tomorrow. A viral joke or social mob, now forgotten. An unrealized capital gain or loss, not life changing.
Others may be more permanent. People from nothing rising to the top, people at the top falling to the bottom.

I wrote up a detailed piece on how we can combine web2 and web3 tools to automate the mess of angel investing.
The key concept is a mirrortable, which is to a cap table what a stablecoin is to a fiat currency. balajis.com/mirrortable
The mirrortable is a non-ideological productivity improvement for angel investors. You don’t need to want to End the Fed to end the process of chasing documents across dozens of apps.
This post is the 5300 word expansion of the 280 character remark below.
Why do we want to streamline angel investing? So we can invest in more founders, in more countries. So we can decentralize the process of wealth creation, backing people in the Midwest and the Middle East.
If you plot a histogram of latency before and after the introduction of a load balancer, you'll often find that average latency gets a bit worse (as you need to do two hops: load balancer and then server), but worst case latency gets way better.
Often an acceptable tradeoff.
Similarly, if you plot a histogram of expected financial profit before & after buying a collar, you'll find that the average profit gets a bit worse (due to the cost of the collar) but worst case profit gets way better.
