I finally made it to the top 3 of @ TheoN_Network's list Previously, I was in a dilemma of having no angle to write about Later, inspired by Foucault's "Archaeology of Knowledge," he gained many insights Traditional archaeology excavates cultural relics, Foucault excavates discourse layers He doesn't make value judgments and doesn't say which layer is more advanced or backward Just describing how they operate and how they are shaped by power The real Web3 world is also a battleground for multi-layered discourse systems: Narrative discourse of the project party Valuation discourse of capital The Implementation Discourse of Technology Each layer has its own operational logic and is shaped by different powers Foucault taught us Don't rush to stand in line, first understand how these words are formed How to operate it specifically? Excavate the archaeological layer of the project Not only look at the white paper, but also consider the team's resume, funding background, and partners These constitute the 'history' of the project and determine its genes Observing the Evolution of Discourse How does the narrative of the project change over time? Which promises have been fulfilled and which have quietly disappeared? Identify power structures Who is driving this project? Who will benefit from it? Are the interests of capital, community, and team aligned? Predicting future trends Based on existing discourse logic and power structure Which direction is the project most likely to develop in? When you no longer try to persuade others, it becomes easier to be trusted
