In the real—not future—world one needs money to surivive. If one dislikes working for money, one needs to acquire money in other ways. Many of these other ways, from mooching to con games, are… problematic.
And so you appear on LW, mention that your family wasn’t rich (so you are unlikely to be a trust-fund baby), are very explicit that you dislike working for money, and propose a pyramid scheme.
LOL. I am a human, I think. Maybe? Could be a brain in a vat. Or a character in some alien kid’s SimEarth game. A chatbot which escaped from supersekrit lab, even? Hard to tell, really.
What kind of future do I want? That’s a very general question. Before this devolves into a list of positive adjectives, do you have something specific in mind?
So you are very undefined. I know that I’m an ‘infinitesimal’ part of the observable universe, which wishes to understand: the Universe, and where and how does it originate; wishes that everything that anyone truly wishes could really exist; and, doesn’t lose the hope to improve the whole Universe, because it knows that butterfly effect works… if used properly.
Knowing whether you are funded is useful estimating the lifetime of your project.
It’s also useful for understanding potential biases and the business model.
What point which you want to make requires me answering ‘who supplies money to you?’ question?

[Lumifer], what you are? Are you what you think you are? What kind of future do you want to have?

Sure. But you are talking about things inside your mind. How about things in reality, outside of your mind?
Who said that there exists the outside? :)
In that case I don’t understand your difficulties. Just persuade your mind to stop screwing around and give you what you want.
There are difficulties. Specifically:
how to get people write projects
how to get people fund projects
Improving trust and ease-of-use.
A mind is a puzzle to solve, too.
In the OP’s defense, he appeared on LW for a reason. The reason being that a pitch in the same ref. class worked on this cohort in the past.
To the extend that’s true the pitches were written in a way that’s not off-putting to a lot of people on LW.
Sure, the pitch that worked was a LOT better. But you can see the OP’s thought process.
