in 2026 i'm done thinking in a vacuum last few years everyone said pick a lane - AI or crypto or VR or "real problems" one big project. years of focus - imo that thesis is dead world's accelerating too fast for single-domain mastery the alpha is at the intersections. but you need to position yourselve at those interesections new way to move: run hundreds of experiments across domains. build real depth in 2-3 areas. become a translator between fields + the economics now support this thx to crypto 'failure? cheaper than ever. each micro-venture is a hypothesis wrapped in code, backed by small collective grants, crowd-funded and ranked by others who share your itch' u don't need one VC or one employer to greenlight your curiosity anymore the most interesting builders right now aren't the deepest experts - they're the ones who move between AI & bio, crypto and neuroscience, hardware & culture. who speak both languages fluently.
