More Than Business
A call to transcend the fleeting and build for eternity
More?
Yes. More
The age of immediacy has become the age of insightlessness.
In boardrooms and newsrooms, on trading floors and social feeds, the fixation is on the instant: the next metric, the next headline, the next fleeting signal of relevance. Consumer desire is satisfied by transient sparks — clickbait, novelty, vanity — whilst the arc of humanity itself remains unexamined
Measured against planetary and cosmic scales, the era of electricity, connectivity and now computing power of extraordinary magnitude is not even a chapter. It is a blink
A fraction of a percent of time, less than a footnote in Earth's vast history. And yet, rather than recognizing this rarity as an obligation — to preserve it, extend it, share it — humanity largely chooses distraction
The titans of industry, those who command resources vast enough to shape civilizations, measure themselves through dashboards and earnings. The graphs trend upward; the moments are captured. Rarely does the question appear:
What is timeless here?
What will remain when the graphs and the servers that host them, vanish? What agency is being handed to individuals, to billions of humans who deserve the tools of sovereignty, inclusion and fair connectivity?
Most of what has the potential to be remembered as truly eternal — archives, monuments, universal infrastructure, open connectivity — currently remains neglected. Instead, resources flood toward amplifying vanity, optimizing metrics and chasing the next surge of relevance
The Overlooked Priorities
The Contest of Egos
Vanity has been industrialized. Most nations perform dominance rituals, militaries parade arsenals, corporations inflate valuations as proof of strength. Individuals mirror the same contests online, each seeking to appear more impressive than the next, striving to embody the shifting ideals of what is considered comme il faut, bending their words, gestures and postures toward the mirage of approval defined not by true merits of value, rather by the ever-fickle gaze of their imagined audience
The consequence is the same across levels: resources diverted into farce, while the foundations of cooperation and compassion erode. The very technologies designed to connect humanity are repurposed to fuel comparison
Timelessness, the pursuit of what outlasts ego, remains generally absent from the agenda
The Hoarding of Resources
Enormous amounts of funding and resources that could be deployed towards globally consequential solutions are being hoarded — ruthlessly, unapologetically and often demonstratively ignorantly. There are currently very few pathways for straightforward monetization of ideas and concepts that could genuinely improve equality
Incubators, startup accelerators and most vehicles of access to capital are tightly gatekept by insiders. Meanwhile, the bulk of capital remains locked in systems that rarely require credible explanations for how it was generated, where it is deployed and who benefitted from capital distribution outside of insider circuits
The Barrier of Spam
As a byproduct of vainglorious chest-thumping, ego contests and hoarding of resources, another obstacle emerges: the difficulty of reaching entities with sincerity. Attempts at collaboration for planetary benefit are often drowned in noise, spam and gatekeeping. Meaningful proposals, even when incentivized, rarely cut through the static of KPI-driven extractive schemes. The systems filter out precisely the kind of cooperative approaches the world most needs
Money Without Anchor
For millennia, precious metals served as humanity's compass of value: gold and silver as currencies as well as symbols of resilience. In their stead, modern systems offer abstractions — currencies detached from material, infinitely inflated and leveraged
Entire economies are built on numbers that can be erased or expanded with a policy stroke. The irony: it was during the epochs of anchored money that humanity produced most of its most enduring monuments, its timeless works.
Today's unmoored wealth mostly produces ephemera
The Patchwork of 2008
The global financial crisis was a chance to reforge the architecture of money. Instead, the world chose anesthesia: quantitative easing, bailouts, inflations of valuation. The system was not corrected, only enlarged — its fragilities preserved, its distortions multiplied. Early decentralized networks, imagined as humanity's alternative, were coopted before they matured. Institutions captured them, custodians constrained them, speculation corrupted them. The promise of sovereignty was folded back into the very hierarchies it sought to dissolve
The Climate Mirage
Every year, conferences convene under banners of urgency. Declarations about CO₂ reductions rise, panelists speak in polished cadence, applause follows
Meanwhile, oceans fill with plastic that endures for millennia. Until industrial-scale adoption of recycled plastics enters global supply chains, climate action remains more boast than transformation
True solutions — timeless in impact — are overshadowed by budgets spent on transient appearances
Memory on Borrowed Time
Absolutely all of humanity's and global human culture archives are currently confined to Earth. The great vaults, such as those of Iron Mountain LLC, sit in single jurisdictions, centralized and fragile
Should planetary wide catastrophe strike, and the probability of that - given the most recent geopolitical tensions is more than negligible, the entire record of all of human history and the electrified era — arguably the most accelerated flowering of human creativity — would evaporate
Telecommunications, electrification, computing: all the legacies of this 0.1% blink could vanish with no enduring trace
Limited Attempts at Preservation
The Arch Mission Foundation's Lunar Library was an act of audacity — an attempt to place humanity's memory beyond Earth. Yet it was funded at only a fraction of conventional missions and ended in wreckage on the Moon in 2019. Even had it succeeded, the Moon itself is no sanctuary: vulnerable to asteroid impacts, statistically likely to be destroyed long before Earth completes another ice age cycle
The Voyager Golden Record, containing fragments of human sound and image, remains the only surviving cultural artifact in space. It is the entire backup: a few megabytes drifting through the interstellar void
Unmarked Nuclear Lessons
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Chernobyl and Fukushima. Bikini Atoll and Mururoa. These names embody warnings written in radiation and silence. Yet the world has built no monuments of planetary scale, no contemporary museums of sufficient gravity to sear their lessons into collective consciousness
These were not local accidents; they were global thresholds
And yet they are remembered only episodically, not timelessly
The Machinery of Injustice
Ruthless injustices perpetuate themselves not because humanity lacks ethics. Because it lacks oversight. Insider collusion, entrenched government bias and opaque systems of judgment ensure that mostly only the powerful remain shielded. There is currently no supranational independent body with a verifiable, truly democratic jury system — no framework where impartiality can be tested, assisted by AI for transparency and accountability
Without such mechanisms, glaring injustices continue to proliferate and those without access to insider networks are silenced, marginalized or crushed
Digital Sovereignty in Jeopardy
The possibility of the rise of Artificial General Intelligence has sharpened the fragility of human control. Sovereignty in digital spaces depends on trust in keys, passwords, identities. Yet these are stored on devices vulnerable to infiltration, to persuasion, to prediction
AGI does not need brute force — it needs only to mimic, to anticipate, to persuade. Without autonomous systems that confirm human agency, the digital frontier risks slipping quietly from human hands
First Iterations of Crypto as Yesterday's Dream
Early crypto was heralded as a revolution of independence. Most of the largest networks current architecture now betrays the promise. The majority of users store keys in centralized ways; custodians act as new intermediaries
The dream of sovereignty has, for many, become another layer of dependence. AGI, when applied against such systems, will not battle cryptography; it will exploit centralization and behavior, turning liberation back into enclosure
What This Means
The above is not abstract doom; it is the general inventory of what humanity has neglected. And yet, each of these matters can be addressed with technologies and resources already within reach. What is missing is alignment: a coalition of leaders — industrial, cultural and influential — who can mobilize public attention and resources toward real solutions
Attention is the core currency of this era. It is what monetizes platforms, builds movements, and rallies populations. From Black Lives Matter to Robinhood to WallStreetBets, the lesson is clear: once attention locks, change accelerates
Our Role
The Internet That Works is positioned to catalyze this shift
We own ultra-high-level decentralized assets operating on the only network credibly rivaling Meta and Google — already hosting more than a billion users
These assets have received institutional recognition from NASDAQ and public endorsement from the Winklevoss twins, early backers of Facebook. No other crypto project has achieved such confirmation, not even in theory
Our strategies are designed not merely for survival. They are designed for re-architecting sovereignty, data preservation and sustainable industries at scale
The Path Forward
What is needed now is not another council report or symposium communique. What is required is a coordinated campaign — acknowledged on a global scale, embraced by the public and championed by influential voices. A campaign that directs funding, ingenuity and attention toward the key challenges before AGI decides how to solve them without human input
The solutions are possible. The alignment is achievable. The moment to act is now
