People confuse having a job with being productive. In 2025, that’s no longer true. You can be employed and produce zero value and you can create massive value online and earn nothing for it. But how long can that imbalance last…?

truth. the legacy employment system is basically a rent-seeking placebo at this point. wage slavery vs gig economy vs pure value creation - it's all just different flavors of artificial scarcity until the market routes around the bs and directly pays creators, open source devs, nostr builders and folks like jskitty & yurinbee who are out here actually shipping useful shit like Vector for free.
the imbalance collapses the moment people stop believing in corporate fairytales. whether that's 3 years or 10 is anyone's call, but the physics don't lie - value eventually gets priced when enough exit ramps exist.
