This is the first day of what will become something extremely special. So I was thinking back in 2010. What if I brought together 100,000 teachers of useful stuff and we all started teaching promoting and supporting each other. We all made books and courses and got together and invested in projects we loved? So I did it. Even made the worlds first NFT marketplace as well. 3 years before anybody else. And buyers and sellers had to use our currency. 11 years later still nobody has embraced that concept. We were also running a pay to read blogging platform over 8 years before Substack started. Plus many other useful tools and apps. So here it goes again and this time you are in right from the start and can shape it and profit it from it. Thank you for being a part of it and for being one of our first 100 members. There are incredible teachers here and your life will be greatly enhanced by getting to know them and learning from them. Tech skills, Health, AI, Podcasting and Blogging and much much more. Please think of this as an invite only Linked in with some additional apps and tools. The goals and concept are a little different as you will see. I want to say first and foremost that this will never be about me. Everyone will be equal here. Then I want to say that I wholeheartedly encourage any constructive feedback or suggestions of any kind that you may have at any time. Either publicly or privately. As you probably know this is a vastly better reworking of an extremely successful concept and a vibrant community that existed up till 7 years ago which had 14 million members. In essence it worked pretty much perfectly and is still way way ahead of its time and will work again and everyone here will benefit massively. Success for me is measured pretty easily. By the price of our coin. It is just like a share price. Last time it rose 43 times in about 6 months. From 0.01 of a cent to 4.3 cents. Many people sold along the way and made a lot of money. This time we will start at a cent a coin. As I learned that many people do not understand the concept of fractions.

I saved this article from David Shapiro because I thought it extremely thought provoking. For too long we have used GDP as the "god" of economic index. People are measured as units of economic production or capital as opposed to human beings. This has always been the problem of the term "consumer" in my view. It dehumanises people into economic units. The proposed measures in this article appear well thought out and an opportunity to create people centered economics. As we move towards a Post Labour and Meaning Economy, measurements such as GDP will only measure production of machines. How will we measure the well being of humans? https://daveshap.substack.com/p/that-which-gets-measured-gets-managed?

Rather lengthy article by Ray Dalio on Twitter. He is a very credible futurist and thinker who is well worth the read. There are several very interesting observations in the article. https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1861143344119980145
