Control has evolved. History teaches us that subjugation doesn't require iron shackles or prison walls—the invisible kinds can be far more effective. Physical restraint is obvious, easy to identify and fight against. But psychological constraints? Those operate silently in the background. They shape behavior without leaving visible marks. The chains binding the mind often prove more durable than those binding the body. In spaces built on principles of autonomy and transparency, this distinction matters more than ever.

Invisible shackles are the cruelest, and Web3 can't escape this either.

Wow, this is the breakthrough point for Web3. The invisible shackles are the most terrifying.
