In order to have a paradigm shift and build the decentralized future that we want, changing the money and stacking sats are just the first steps. For true decentralized community building to occur we need to change the model for how we build. Humans domination of our planet and becoming the apex predator are because of our ability to work together, a network effect. Most of our current societal models emphasize the individual. Incentives support and encourage the individual, as if a sovereign individual is the protocol level of society. This is incorrect. The protocol level of humanity are small interconnected intimate groups of 6 to 15 people. Often these groups gather around a specific morality. You can see an example of this in the current OP return debate within the Bitcoin community. Certain Bitcoin maximalists have a moral reaction to spam and are coming up with ways to attempt to outlaw it. Other maximalists argue with them. Both sides are having a moral argument. In my read of the situation most pragmatists don't like spam but the proposals to limit it would be ineffectual and in some ways worse.

Our morality & how that gets expressed matters deeply.
