The world is going virtual, and we’re all moving to the internet. Andreessen Horowitz recently ran a survey across their 250+ companies asking how they’re going to operate post-covid, and here’s what they learned: 90% of organizations will continue to hire remote employees and be remote in some form. And these are companies that were started pre-COVID. The vast majority of companies that are created after COVID will be remote only.
There are better and worse neighborhoods on the Internet as well as IRL.
There are neighborhoods where people are systematically victimized and the people don’t know it. Where people live among criminals and garbage and eat sh*t and not only don’t know any different but enjoy belonging to a group, think that garbage is stimulating and get a nice dopamine, seratonin or oxytocin rush from the sh*t they eat.
That's so true, Eric. I started my online career coaching business 3 years ago, and it gave me so much freedom! I'm from Greece, lived in the UK, Switzerland, and France, and all my clients are based in the US!
in person still seems needed for manufacturing and hardware prototyping / production. software things can be done remote but still large amount of physical stuff (food, energy, and transportation, cars and planes) that can really only be produced when people are co located
I'm happy to see Eric Cartman in this post!

SF?
Knowledge work is merely going to follow manufacturing jobs: outsourced to the Global South for much lower wages and no job protections.
"Someone once remarked: if IRL were a movie, the visuals would be amazing, but the plot and characters would suck"
Who said this? Spot on.
