summary
Argues that technical invention alone doesn't create user power, citing IPFS primitives like CIDs give authority and auth tools like ukan, and using David Clark's control‑point analysis of a single web‑page retrieval to show every red bubble is a locus of control. Identifies a two‑step feedback — control -> rent -> more control — that preserves power, notes isolated protocols fail because society doesn't join, and urges building interoperable bridges across web, climate, human‑rights stacks.
