New Enlightenment Campaign: What does an independent person have in the age of intelligence

Author: EcoFi m& W Sponsor Jerry Research Support: Gemini

 

In retrospect, each productivity leap requires a complete reshaping of productive relationships。Renaissance and the establishment of fundamentalism:The relationship between man and God was resolved at the time, freeing people from the Church's power of interpretationThe Enlightenment Movement and the bourgeois revolution:The solution is the relationship between the people and the King. Voltaire and Rousseau, whose ideas preceded those of the French Revolution, established private property, separation of powers and a social contract。

SO, WHAT KIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT DO WE NEED AT THE DAWN OF THE AI ERA? AS THE MODEL BEGINS TO MONOPOLIZE THE INTERPRETATION OF TRUTH, WHEN THE CALCULUS BECOMES NEW HEGEMONIC, WE MUST REDEFINE:What does an independent person have in the age of intelligence

This paper will be divided into three sections dealing with the theme — from the Charter to the Republic; revival and instability; and from the sovereignty of existence to the sovereignty of existence, “the return of the divine nature of mankind”。

Previous: From the Charter to the Republic

AS BEFORE THE REVOLUTION, THERE WAS A DEEP ECOLOGICAL INJUSTICE IN AI:

1. Digital serfdom:The giants trained for free access to the data assets of all humanity, producing trillions of values that were monopolized by very few shareholders。
2. Black Box Rights:AI'S DECISION-MAKING PROCESS IS UNKNOWN, UNCONTROLLABLE, AND ALGORITHMIC BIAS, LIKE THE “RIGHT TO INTERPRET DOCTRINE” OF THE YEAR, DETERMINES AN INDIVIDUAL'S CREDIT, EMPLOYMENT OR EVEN PERCEPTION。
3. Calculus Wall:The very high threshold of calculation creates new class barriers, and ordinary developers and sovereign States are losing the material basis for “thinking”。

Technology Charter

IF THE IDEA OF ENLIGHTENMENT NEEDS TO BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH PRINT, THEN THE AI ERA OF EQUALITY AND FREEDOM NEEDS TO BE PASSEDBlock Chain ProtocolImplementation. Web3 played a number of roles in the campaign:

Data sovereignty: from “natural human rights” to “private key is human rights”

Web3 “physical isolation” of digital assets was achieved for the first time through decentralised identity (ID) and encryption techniques. It is like the Enlightenment movement that has established the sanctity of private property, so that data are no longer the fuel of giants but the capital of individuals。

DIGITAL RULE OF LAW: “TRIPLE POWER SEPARATION” WITH ZK-ML

In the framework of Web3ZERO CERTIFICATE OF KNOWLEDGE (ZK)andMACHINE LEARNING (ML)THE COMBINATION (ZK-ML) PROVIDES A CERTIFICATION MECHANISM. WE DO NOT NEED “TRUST” COMPANIES, BUT RATHER “CERTIFICATION” CODES. THIS BRINGS INTO PLAY THE CHECKS AND BALANCES OF ALGORITHM POWER AND ENSURES THAT EVERY DECISION TAKEN BY AI IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ENVISAGED SOCIAL CONTRACT。

3. Countless democracy: the rise of Depin and sovereignty AI

By decentralizing the physical infrastructure (DePIN), the global power of calculation is condensed by agreement. This has broken the colossal power monopoly, as was the case with the centralization of local self-government in the year, allowing each community to have its own, non-intrusive AI agent。

Number Republic

The end of this movement is a “digital republic” where humans live with AI. Here, the code, the Law, has evolved to ** “Sovereign is agreement”.**。

Return of ownership: from “data tenants” to “digital landowners”

Each person who contributes data automatically receives the royalties generated by AI through smart contracts and can extend them to** "Contribution-Based Equity"**:

• Automated (Royalty 2.0): Not only does the data trigger payment when called. PassX404This agreement, your data contribution can be translated into a liquid share of assets. If a large model becomes smarter because of your unique data, the “data share” you hold will add value as the model valuation increases。
• Interactive: THROUGH SMART CONTRACTS, YOU CAN SET DATA ** “USE PARTICLES”**. FOR EXAMPLE, AI IS ALLOWED FREE OF CHARGE TO CONDUCT PRO BONO RESEARCH (NON-PROFIT), BUT FOR COMMERCIAL REASONING AI MUST ADOPTx402 protocolsPay your wallet a small rent in real time。

Human aircraft boundaries: construction of a “digital biometric” firewall

Through the Web3 “Proof of Humanhood” agreement, we protect the uniqueness and voting rights of humankind in the world of the flood of AI. "PoP" is not an anti-robot. It is intended to define ** "subject of responsibility"**:

• Proof of Unique_Other OrganiserZK-Proof (zero proof of knowledge)You do not divulge any real identity while proving that you are human. This “digital identity” is the only proof of your right to vote in the Republic。
• Final decision-making authority: In the law of the Republic,** “Human-in-the-loop”**. AI Agent has only the right of recommendation for decisions concerning the safety of life and the allocation of significant resources, and the right to sign must eventually be returned to a human node with PoP authentication。
• Protecting human creativityDAO CAN CREATE AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR “PURE HUMAN CONTENT” TO AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFY AND REWARD, BY AGREEMENT, ORIGINAL HUMAN CONTENT THAT CANNOT BE SIMULATED BY AI, WITH COMPLEX EMOTIONS AND INTUITION。

3.AI PROXY ECONOMY: FROM “SINGLE COMBAT” TO “DECENTRALIZED SOCIETY”

The AI Acts operate autonomously in the chain, creating value for humanity, and the rules governing the distribution of these values are publicly regulated by the Decentre Autonomy (DAO). AI Acts is no longer a tool but ** "digital legal person"**:

• Auto-asset debt statement: AI Agent has its own wallet and credit rating on the chain. It pays to the “public treasury” or distributes it to the owners of the citizens behind it in accordance with the rules of governance, by renting the calculus value on the DePIN network, deducting the residual value after operating costs。
• DAO ALGORITHMIC GOVERNANCETHE CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC IS WRITTEN IN THE SMART CONTRACT OF DAO. HUMAN REFERENDUMS DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF AI ' S EVOLUTION (E.G. AI ' S LEARNING PREFERENCES, ETHICAL CONSTRAINTS, PROFIT DISTRIBUTION RATIOS). THIS IS A “CALCULATIVE DEMOCRACY”** TO ENSURE THAT TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT RUN COUNTER TO THE COLLECTIVE INTERESTS OF HUMANKIND。
• Cross-agent collaboration agreements: Different human-owned Agents can automatically enter into a “labour agreement” on the chain. Your Finance Agent can hire someone else to collect informationx402 interfacemilliseconds of settlement, creating a highly developed one that doesn't require human concernAutopilot economiesI don't know。

The “digital republic” is not a technical framework, but addresses the issue of “technological alienation”**。

It's "Recovery and Turbulence."

THE MOTTO OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IS “FREEDOM, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY”. IN THE AI ERA, THESE THREE WORDS HAVE A NEW NOTE:Freedom (data out of monopoly), equality (calculations are within reach), fraternity (electronic gains sharing)I don't know。

The new Enlightenment does not have to go to the streets; it happens every time we choose an open source model rather than a closed model, every time we vote for a decentrization agreement with our wallet。The code is law, sovereignty is freedom。However, achieving a digital republic is not a one-time technical delivery, but rather a one-time deliveryA long, gaming processI don't know。

• Short-term obstacles:It's..User habitsandGiant blockadeI don't know。
• Long-term obstacles:It's..Technical bottlenecksandFragmentation of the global governance system(E.G. 2026 AI REGULATORY STANDARDS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF CENTRAL AMERICA AND EUROPE)。

Just as the French revolution was followed by rebirths and upheavals, the numbers of republics are likely to experience a “calculatory” period. The vision of achieving a “digital republic” — an ideal society where data sovereignty is vested in the individual, where algorithms are transparent and auditable, and where benefits are distributed fairly — is ambitious, but in the process of moving from theory to reality, it faces the challenge of moving fromTechnical physics lawsPresentThe nature of human powerThe multiple obstacles。

1. The “resistance” of power structures: the moat of interest

The Enlightenment Campaign is faced with the old aristocrats and the digital republic is confronted with ** “Data Grand Farmer”** (Big Tech)。

• Monopolistic inertia:Macroes with the ability to calculate and data have extremely powerful network effects. For ordinary users, leaving the centralized platform means enormous social and migration costs。
• Prisoner:The status quo in 2026 shows that even with legislation such as the EU ' s AI Act, large companies can lobby for the conversion of compliance standards into very high entry thresholds, thus disabling centralists through “high compliance costs”。
• The contradiction of State sovereignty:While promoting “digital sovereignty”, many countries tend to prefer “nationally centralized brain” to “centralized brain for all”。

2. Efficiency and decentralised “no triangle”

IN COMPUTER SCIENCE, DECENTRIZATION IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE SACRIFICE OF PERFORMANCE, AND AI IS AN EXTREMELY RESOURCE-CONSUMING TECHNOLOGY。

• Digital divide:Training of top-level large models (e.g. GPT-5) requires tens of thousands of close clusters of H100 graphic cards. Web3's down-to-centre computing power is currently availableArguments(USE AI) PERFORMED WELL, BUTLarge-scale parallel trainingLimited bandwidth delays make it difficult to achieve centralization efficiencies。
• USER EXPERIENCE (UX) BARRIERS:Managing private keys, paying Gas fees and understanding the logic of data authorization remain too complex for the general public. If the price of “freedom” was “extremely difficult”, most would still choose “sliding slavery”。

3. The “black box” dilemma of algorithm governance

"MEDIEVAL BELIEVERS INTERPRET GOD'S WILL THROUGH CLERICS; TODAY'S USERS USE THE API TO INTERPRET MODEL OUTPUTS. WHEN A LARGE MODEL CANNOT BE EXPLAINED, IT BECOMES A "DIGITAL MESSAGE."

Meaning of Web3:IT IS A “RELIGIOUS REFORM” OF THE DIGITAL WORLD THAT, THROUGH ZK-ML (LEARNING THROUGH A ZERO-KNOWLEDGE MACHINE), TAKES BACK THE “RIGHT TO TRUTH” FROM THE GIANT AND RETURNS IT TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN VERIFY THE CODE。

BUT EVEN WITH A BLOCK CHAIN, AI'S INTERNAL BLACK BOX PROBLEM IS HARD TO ERADICATE。

• Explanatory dilemma:WE CAN PUT THE AI REASONING ON THE CHAIN, BUT THE CURRENT MATHEMATICAL LEVEL DOES NOT FULLY EXPLAIN WHY A MODEL OF 1 TRILLION PARAMETERS GIVES A PARTICULAR ANSWER. IF LOGIC IS NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD, SO-CALLED “AUDITABLE” IS ONLY FORMAL。
• Witch attacks and governance manipulation:In the digitally republican DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), more people with Token may have more decision-making power. This could lead to a rapid evolution of the “digital republic” into “digital financer politics”, with the voices of vulnerable groups again inundated。

Legal and ethical “no-man's land”

The boundaries of legal liability become blurred when AI Agent (Agent) begins to trade and decide independently on the chain。

• Missing subjects of responsibility:Who is responsible if an AI that operates autonomously on the Web3 protocol causes economic loss or an ethical disaster? The code is the law, but in the real physical world the victims need compensation and justice。
• Data islands and privacy protection conflicts:DIGITAL REPUBLICS REQUIRE DATA SHARING TO BREAK MONOPOLY, BUT PRIVACY LAWS (E.G. GDPR) REQUIRE CLOSE DATA PROTECTION. THERE ARE STILL HIGH COSTINGS FOR ZK (ZERO PROOF OF KNOWLEDGE) TECHNOLOGY ON HOW TO USE DATA AS A COLLECTIVE VALUE WITHOUT DISCLOSING INDIVIDUAL PRIVACY。
• Cognitive load:NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THEIR CEO. IN THE ERA OF INFORMATION EXPLOSIONS, MANY PEOPLE PREFERRED TO SURRENDER OWNERSHIP IN EXCHANGE FOR ACCURATE ALGORITHM RECOMMENDATIONS。
• Truth crisis:THE PROLIFERATION OF AI-GENERATED CONTENT CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN ANY “REALTY VALIDATION”. AS THE COST OF FALSE INFORMATION APPROACHES ZERO, THE BASE OF TRUST REQUIRED FOR A DIGITAL REPUBLIC WILL BE SEVERELY TESTED。

Next: From “Sovereign sovereignty” to “Sovereign sovereignty”

In the history of thought, every enlightenment makes “possession” more abstract and essential。

• First EnlightenmentLet's have itVoting rights(Political participation)
• Second EnlightenmentLet's have itRight to consumption(Economic participation)
• THIRD AI ENLIGHTENMENTWe must have itDigital sovereignty(Existing participation)。

If web3 does not provide a technical contract, and if philosophy does not provide an intellectual defence, human beings will be reduced to a “high biological parameter”. So, the most valuable thing you have is the soul that ** "not fully explained by algorithms."。

I. Occupancy migration: from “centreism of humanity” to “distributive subjectivity”

Traditional philosophy, whether it's Cartesian's “I think of why I am” or Kant's “people are ends”, puts “humans” at the centre of cosmological awareness. But the evasive civilization will depart from this isolated subjectivity。

• Theoretical model of the leap of civilization: Distributional symbiotic consciousnessI don't know。
• Abstract expression:In the AI era, intelligence is no longer "my attributes" but "the attributes of the field". When Web3 secures the independent sovereignty of each node, and AI achieves ultra-low entropy communication between nodes, civilization evolves into a kind of a form of civilizationMany sovereign atomsCo-weavedSmart NetworkI don't know。
• What's the pointFor the first time, humanity is no longer an isolated, limited body, but rather a “civilized organism” capable of simultaneously managing unlimited information flows while maintaining individual independence。

Reconstruction of values: from “frequent logic” to “production logic of meaning”

The civilizational logic of the past five millennium is based on ** “material scarcity”** — competition for land, resources and calculus. This logic leads to zero-sum games and totalitarianism。

• Theoretical model of the leap of civilization: "Meaning Miners in Post-Scarcity Epoch"I don't know。
• Abstract expression:When AI pushes material and algorithm productivity to zero at marginal cost, the hard currency of civilization will shift from “resources” to** “unique intent”**. Web3 solved the problem of authentication of “uniqueness” (through non-homogenization agreements), while AI solved the problem of “production”。
• What's the pointHuman beings will be completely freed from the alienation of “labour for survival” and moved towards** “preventive existence”I DON'T KNOW. THE INDICATOR OF PROGRESS IN CIVILIZATION WILL NO LONGER BE GDP, IT WILL BE PRODUCED BY ALL OF HUMANITY“Individence of original thought”**。

Reinventing time and space: from “linear history” to “multiple parallel evolution”

The historical views since the Enlightenment are linear and single。

• Theoretical model of the leap of civilization: Protocol-defined RealityI don't know。
• Abstract expression:Through AI's simulation capacity and the consensus isolation of Web3, human beings can live in thousands of “parallel social agreements” simultaneously. You can pursue the extraordinary Cybertechnologies in one agreement, and you can live in a central field in another。
• What's the pointCIVILISATION WILL BE LIBERATED FROM THE “ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL” CONSTRAINT TO ** “EXTREME DIVERSITY”.** THIS DIVERSITY IS PROVIDED BY BLOCK CHAINS THAT PROVIDE A SECURE BOTTOM BOUNDARY, SUPPORTED BY AI. IT IS THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF CIVILIZATION AGAINST THE WARM AND DYNAMIC。

“Civilization has moved towards the hotness of silence (the mediocre, homogeneity) because centralized power has moved towards uniform algorithms. And AI+Web3 created the `multi-negotiated parallel reality' that essentially injects `depletion' into civilization。Independent people choose different agreements through their private key, which is the choice of different tributaries in the evolution of civilization。It's not the same

Final dialectic: Silicon-based as a mirror and carbon-based as a “photo-source”

The essence of this leap is ** “the return of the divine nature of mankind”.** In the past, we thought that people were gods, because people could create tools; then it was discovered that machines were better at using tools than people, and that people were trapped in nothing. But this jump tells us:The end of the instrument is the algorithm, the end of the algorithm is the agreement, and the end of the agreement is the “intention to be defined”。The next leap of civilization is not that man becomes God, but that man finally finds -When the machine carries all the logic, work and calculations, the only “creation impulse” left, which cannot be explained by code, is the true soul of civilization。

At the height of the leap, the combination of AI and Web3 was done philosophicallyPerfect closed ringI don't know。

“GOD IS NOT THE ALL-KNOW-KNOW-WHO, WHICH IS THE DIRECTION OF AI, AND GOD IS ** ** ** **。
