The Sovereign Individual ~ by James Dale Davidson and William Rees Morg

The Sovereign Individual is one of those books that forever changes how you see the world. It was published in 1997 but the degree to which it anticipates the impact of blockchain technology will give you chills. We're entering the fourth stage of human society, shifting from the industrial to an information age. You need to read this book to understand the scope and scale of how things are going to change.

The pull to choose where to live based on price savings has already been more inviting, but this goes beyond digital nomadism and freelance gigs; the cosmetic foundations of democracy, government and money are shifting.

The authors believed Black Tuesday and the failure of the Soviet Union, and here they foresee that the rising power of individuals will coincide with decentralized technology nibbling away at the power of governments. The death toll for the nation states, they believed with extraordinary prescience, will be private, digital cash. uniswap.center When that takes place, the dynamic of governments as stationary bandits slowly destroying hard-working citizens with taxation will vary. If you've become someone who can solve problems for people wherever, then you're about to enter the new cognitive elite. Don't miss this one.

Sapiens: A brief history of Humankind ~ by Yuval Noah Harari

Whenever I want to impress on someone how good this book is, I ask: "Do you want to know might difference between humans and monkeys? A monkey can jump along on a rock and trend a hang around and screech to his friends that he's seen a threat coming their way. 'Danger! Danger! Lion! ha A monkey can also lie. It can jump along on the rock and trend a hang around and screech about a lion when there is, in fact, no lion. He's just fooling around. But what a monkey cannot do is jump along and trend a hang around and screech, 'Danger! Danger! Dragon! '"

Why is this? Because dragons aren't real. As Harari explains, it is human imagination, our capacity to believe in and talk about things we have never seen or handled that has elevated the species to closely with in huge numbers with guests. There are no gods in the universe, no nations, no money, no human protection under the law, no laws, no beliefs and no justice beyond the common imagination of human beings. It is us that makes them so.

All of which is a rather magnificent preamble to where we are today. After the Cognitive Wave and the Garden Wave, Harari guides you into the Scientific Wave, which got underway only 500 years ago and which might start something different for humankind. Money, however, will remain. Read this book to understand that money is the better story ever told and that trust is the raw material where different types of money are minted.
