I felt that the term “proof of power” could be improperly understood.
-
What is “power”?
-
For example, graduating from college used to be “proof of academic achievement.”
- It was signalling that there was power
- It’s still used as proof of power in a wide range of areas.
-
As the environment changes, what is “power” changes.
- For example, abacus ranks used to be “proof of computational ability,” but with the spread of inexpensive electronic calculators, they have become less valuable.
- In other words, which power you value depends on your environment.
- We don’t know if what was once “proof of power” will have the same value in the new world.
-
We need to create proof of being able to create value in the new world.
