The Knowledge Economy (Where we’ve been for 20 years)

The Access Economy (What everyone is skipping over)

The Commerce Economy (Where everyone wants to go)

Any post, how-to video, or educational guide belongs in the Knowledge Economy. It includes Google, which organizes the world’s knowledge. Twitter, which organizes the world’s conversations.

Anyone with an internet connection has access to learn about anything in seconds.

Due to the proliferation of knowledge, more qualified people are simply showing up.

The problem is that the world doesn’t have great mechanisms for filtering a mass amount of qualified people. The new issue that arises from it is a lack of access for millions of talented creators, workers, and craftsmen. They my have the skills, but there is no way to actually prove it.

we’ve gotten to a point as a society where there is too much knowledge and it’s outpaced our ability to filter people with that knowledge.

If the knowledge economy gave everyone the opportunity to be experts in a field, the access economy is the ultimate human organizer. It matches up the qualified individuals with the right opportunities while using a completely new framework for evaluating and identifying talent.

In the Commerce Economy, money flows across borders seamlessly. Smart contracts replace 80% of IRL middlemen

Just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s feasible to solve problems for billions of people.

The Knowledge Economy organized all of the information. But now we need the Access Economy to organize all of the people and their talents. Then the Commerce Economy can organize who gets all the money. In that order.

We have millions of unknown geniuses all around the world that could solve our biggest problems, but we don’t know who they are or how to find them.
