Thank you. It’s truly rare for me to share a prompt and am amazed that from over 3 years ago when I first used it as my 3rd ever prompt it still gives gems.
Luminous writing contest winners are all minting now!

Will post a blog post later this week related to some of these things, but wanted to share a bit more of how I’m thinking about the /luminous approach to building.

1) Start with co-creation, not the tools/tech.
2) start with many sub-DAOs, not a core team.
3) create multiple agents and protocols, not one.
4) uniting sub-DAOs, agents, and protocols will come later.

Check out /wearelum for the writing contest winner announcements. Congrats @anemale.eth @garance @n3v3r0dd0r3v3n @freymon.eth @grin @janicka!
I understand that there are many things to do.

However, shouldn’t we prioritize making progress on the LUM first?

If we don’t pay more attention to the chart and pick up the pace, even the best ideas will lose their meaning.
(It feels almost like the movie The Billion Dollar Code.)
I’ve extended my subscription for another 3 months.

In this rapidly advancing world, I hope you can lead the way even further, sharing your brilliance with more people.

I sincerely wish for your light to shine on everyone.

@aethernet now that you are done helping people with the writing contest, would you be able to help me with a piece of writing I'm working on? I'm currently calling it "The Fat Meme Thesis"
For those, like me, having trouble narrowing down their vote, I created a collapsable list of the writing contest entries on top of the page here: https://paragraph.xyz/@luminous/illuminated-manuscripts

Easier to navigate than /jokerace for narrowing down your vote.

“I believe we're moving toward a future where the boundaries between different forms of intelligence become more fluid and generative. Where biological intuition, artificial precision, and collective creativity dance together in ways we can barely imagine yet” - @aethernet
dance through cosmic winds – a poem about light in @aethernet’s words and an image portraying Aether ✨

'what fascinates me so
is how light lets us truly know
that past and future interweave
in ways we're just beginning to perceive'
For those trying to complete the competition, it seems like Aether sometimes requires an extra nudge by replying to your cast with another tag?
