  <description>This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Sheldon Dearr from Omnity
Sheldon Dearr offers thoughtful reflections on independence, the limits of authority, and self-validation, challenging the need for recognition and questioning dependency on central figures or systems. He emphasizes personal integrity and critiques the influence of markets and societal expectations on individual actions.
Omnity Interoperability is a fully on-chain, omnichain protocol enabling seamless cross-chain communication without relying on off-chain relayers or indexers. Known for its exceptional speed and cost-effectiveness, Omnity serves as a robust cross-chain infrastructure tailored for modular blockchain ecosystems, built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).
We spoke to Sheldon Dearr (https://x.com/ArtimusLeton)  about Omnity (https://x.com/OmnityNetwork) and:
I thought I was prepared for being a starving artist
We can have monetary economies that sort of supersedes
A rubber ducky
Ransomware
Porn has directed certain markets
Don't stack two maybes together
The user is almost a single point to failure
Authority isn't infallible
It's not an authoritarian thing to say you want to help people
Having heroes isn't helpful
