Do you disagree with the fact that eco-chambers are getting bigger and louder? This in turn crowds out the true subcultures and emerging behavior.
If content marketing, meta-verse, tokenization of everything, short-form video, and meme investing are overrated, what seems underrated but high impact in the future?
What real problems are worth solving today with computers?

Profit is the most reliable signal of what people need. If they're paying extra, it means they get even more value out of it.
Not allowing profit is when economies fall.
Are true subcultures like true scotsmen?
Depends on who you ask, but I'm going with "wheat".
The big roadblock is I don't know how to drive a dump truck, excavator, or bucket truck though. :)
I would take about 20% and plan to squander it. Vacations, car, cloths.
I would put 80% in something with a time lock of about a year. Something with a penalty for early withdraw. This would provide 2 features:
1) Time to think about it
2) Protection from 'newly discovered' relatives and friends who want a piece. "Sorry I would love to help, but the money is invested, and there are SEVER penalties for early withdraw, you do not want me severely penalized do you?"
Now if you are talking about how I would invest a million dollars, that would be different. Short term I like lampshades idea of Wheat. Anything natural gas. Anything to protect against inflation.
To answer your question - $1 million would fund two or three skilled people full time for a year. So the problem has to be relatively small. I'd maybe spend it on an ad blitz to try to find homes for dogs and cats currently in shelters in a small number of cities.
