Great article and wonderful tribute to your dad. One question that came to mind is why do you think that DAOs are still potentially disruptive for education? What problem do they really solve?
My concern is that there are still so many actual *education* challenges to microschools and other types of virtual education communities, and that focusing on the relatively *minor* challenge of "distributed financial stakes in the community" could be overly distracting from larger learning goals.
We only have so much mental bandwidth to innovate. It'd be like a small eCommerce startup trying to also invent its own HR system when they could have just used one off the shelf and focused on their core eCommerce offering. I'd rather see DAO technology & community practice get dogfooded *elsewhere* first, and then just borrow whatever works for education later :)
I love this, as someone whose mission is to give students a better roi for the education using metaverse, tailored learning I found this very inspiring as I build and raise our pre/seed for Headstarter
