 Can you tell me your elevator pitch? What is this place and what do you want it to be? 
 Thats not for me to decide. I just provide the tools 
 Good answer. Will the tools scale as a result of benefitting a super majority of the human species? 
 Its a free market of tools on an open network, so yes we have a much better chance at serving many different use cases, instead of a top down approach like every other platform 
 So you are a free market absolutist..? Individuals don’t impose a cost out of self interest? 
 I don’t know what free market absolutist means, but yes i think the free market is much better at providing solutions than centralized institutions 
 Agreed. Markets are valuable. But individual self interest is a big problem. Moloch in game theory?

I get centralized versus decentralized. 

Is it really decentralized if individuals are gaming it? 
 gaming it in what sense? 
 At scale humans polarize networks. Right now we are in a phase of echo chamber networks. Do you want to scale this? Is it the goal? 
 Gr8 f'n answer!
