Interesting in that the long podcast\/article didn&#8217;t have a single mention of ethics or equity issues. Perhaps we shouldn&#8217;t expect VC firms to concern themselves with such things. After all, they are driving innovation while making money for investors. Then again, if they aren&#8217;t talking about equity and ethics, then the technologies and companies they are funding aren&#8217;t taking equity and ethics into consideration during the development and deployment, and suddenly web3 looks a lot like web2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be frank, web3 has to do better. To continue to proliferate technology platforms that have serious equity and ethical issues is unsustainable. Short-term gains at the expense of those left behind &#8211; again. This is why the concept of Equitable Interfaces\/Ethical Experiences (EI\/EX) is so critical. The digital divide needs bridges, not deepening. And &#8220;solutions&#8221; need to be sustainable rather than a quick financial return then exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/nostatic.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-14-at-9.50.29-AM-1024x787.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nostatic.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-14-at-9.50.29-AM-1024x787.png 1024w, https:\/\/nostatic.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-14-at-9.50.29-AM-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/nostatic.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-14-at-9.50.29-AM-768x591.png 768w, https:\/\/nostatic.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-14-at-9.50.29-AM-600x461.png 600w, https:\/\/nostatic.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-14-at-9.50.29-AM.png 1394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;not found&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interesting Verge piece on web3 and the future of the internet.
