Responsibility of Web 3.0 leaders in re-imagining society

💡 #Web3 spaces and projects aren’t inherently inclusive or diverse.

👉🏿 There are many Web 3.0 projects that purport to “reimagine” society / build Game B / create an inclusive, transparent community / or generate shared, distributed value for everyone.

❇️ Leaders of these visionary projects have such an enormous responsibility.

And I realize that it´s exactly the same responsibility that we have IRL or in the "Web 2.0" world! It needs:

✔️Self-reflection and curiosity
✔️Listening and empathy
✔️Being intentional with language and actions
✔️Learning about and enacting diversity and inclusion
✔️Learning about and enacting anti-racism
✔️Understanding lived and diverse realities of people

⚽ ⚽ I often relate my learnings in Web 3.0 to my sector: sport / football. And about possible new solutions to the systemic inequalities in sport.

❇️ Thinking about stepping up to contribute towards this solution in / through Web 3.0 is daunting, because of the responsibility that comes with this. I still feel that I have a long way to go in learning and understanding the differing realities of people in sport in today´s world. (For e.g. grateful to Alison Carney´s recent research on trans participation in sport for development programs. Or Judith Solanas´ analysis of LGBTQI+ spaces, challenges, and successes in Catalan sport).

💡 So my biggest takeaway this week:

👉🏿 Adding the word #Web3 doesn´t relieve any of us of the important self-work and teamwork – both in our everyday lives and in our projects that re-imagine the future society.
