Thinking Galactically, I can only conclude that human beings need to progress more on the science and tech ladder if we're to survive until Andromeda. I have no reason to believe that innovation cannot come from any individual for any inherent properties of that individual, nor any reason to believe that anything culturally matters for that other than education.
For those reasons, success over the next billion years or so seems to be a function of simply allowing as many humans as possible as much time as possible to try to dream, imagine, innovate, and experiment. As most of humanity is engaged in subsistent-level living currently, the only thing I can think to do to facilitate this is to try and monetize the artifacts of the dreaming, imagining, innovating, and experimenting.
By creating computing systems that can imbue these artifacts with power a prosteriori, and connecting these artifacts via computing tokenization, we can grow a network of cultural systems and trade that allow humans to do more of what they love to do, and less of what they have to do.
We're already spending our time and energy online, but it's paying the ad companies. Time to start paying ourselves.
