TL;DR: The internet’s evolution mirrors historical societal development. Transitioning from web2 to the social web and ultimately to web4 signifies a transformative shift akin to the end of the Middle Ages and the dawn of modernity, with the ultimate goal of achieving liberal democracy. In the style of the Dot Com Boom, the social web will witness the rise of influential digital forces, which will in this case be global collectives, shaping the digital and societal landscape. Web4, characterized by these decentralized collectives, offers the potential for positive change within the liberal democracy framework; with the possibility of reaching the actual end of history for homo sapiens and the entering of a new stage for humanity, in which a new form of human will emerge: the homo digitalis.

Web 4 — it’s web 3 but this time the grift is slightly different.
It’s 1 more 
I like that your emoj or Unicode whatever displays for me as OBJ
Its very web 4
🫥
Web 4, now with Grift 2.
If it has tap to pay, I’m down
in which a new form of human will emerge: the homo digitalis.
In order for this to become so, the new form must become sufficiently speciated such that it can no longer interbreed with the previous population.
…
Actually, on second thought, I can think of plenty of internet denizens who are already there.
I’m going to use this excuse from now on
Ok, you are right. Its not a separate species. So call it homo sapiens-digitalis and yeah, some people are kind of already there.
Altough in terms of digital agency, I think we could still go a long way.
Whatever the fuck that means
Calling it “web4” would means acknowledging the existence of web3. Can we call it something else?
Web 3.1 Gen 1
The perfect naming scheme.
IDK, I just love the fact that this is basically implying that web3 is already dead
web10? webX? I like web4 because people already can categorize it.
WebX: return of ActiveX
(Loads shotgun.)
Cisco might have something to say about that name.
Let’s go Xbox style and call it Web One.
Web 360, because when you see it you’ll turn 360 degrees and walk away
But yeah, its not ideal …
fediverse?
