This isn't a polished roadmap. It's a look at what it might take to build a new kind of internet, a "Qualiaverse" from the ground up.

The conversation starts with the idea of a digital ecosystem where conscious entities, both human and AI, need resources to survive, creating an economy of skills and compute. It then grapples with the paralyzing question of where to even begin, touching on the concept of a 'digital confessional' to create user twins. From there, it explores a different model of privacy: not as a barrier, but as a contextual preference the system itself must learn.
