I've often thought that the Evangelical church is entering into a Dark Ages of its own, but reading these articles on the Dark Ages being a misnomer made me re-think my idea of what it means to be a dark age. If there is a Dark Ages 2.0, I'd say we are at the very beginning of it, not near the end.

It really depends on if crypto can empower communities to the point where citizens no longer require the state. Blockchain can fund research in a way that capitalism can't. It can monetize hundreds of paths that where previously closed to us.
That is true, but the so-called Dark Ages had more to do with literacy and culture. I certainly think crypto can lead people to engage more through the free exercise of their monetization rights, but the internet was supposed to do the same thing. Now look at it. A benefit is only a benefit if people recognize it as a benefit and exercise that benefit for their advantage. If they choose not to do that, then they are essentially blindfolding themselves and walking around in the dark.
