More verbs please

We’ve come a long way from typing cryptic commands on black-and-green monitors to effortlessly swiping, tapping, and speaking directly to our devices. Each evolution of technology has introduced new ways to interact—new verbs like “click,” “drag,” “scroll,” and “tap” that feel second nature today.

The command-line era taught us verbs like ls, cd, and mkdir that opened up the digital world to many.

Empowering Football Fans Through Decentralized Fan Club Ownership and Fundraising

Intellectual Property in a World of Infinite Replication

For centuries, intellectual property (IP) laws have been built around the idea of control. The notion that an idea, a creative work, or a technological breakthrough could be owned, protected, and defended through legal mechanisms has shaped industries from publishing to pharmaceuticals. But today, the landscape has changed. In an era where digital content can be replicated instantly, AI models can scrape and synthesize creative works, and online platforms facilitate the rapid spread of information, the challenges around IP are becoming increasingly complex.
