There's this imagery of archetypes that is akin to the pattern of iron shavings on a piece of paper of after a magnet is dragged underneath. Maybe motifs are the iron shavings of the archetypal body manifesting on/in the cultural mind...
I characterize my cast cast as onomatopoeician insofar as I optimize for bang, boom, buzz, and the like
skacasting (v): the act of writing messages to the Farcaster protocol that are characterized by offbeat and mostly uplifting content focused on getting down to brass tax
Haystacks vs needlestacks. Finding a needle in either is a challenge, but the respective search processes are vastly different in terms of experience, assumption, and method.

“What do you want?”

In my experience, answers to this question are more often than not amorphous and ephemeral. An articulated response that is authentic, resonant, sustained, consistently exemplified, and of quality is (to me) a sign of wisdom and something I strive for.
Say there's a blockchain infra project. Project has a single utility token to pay for its infra services. Token is freely traded and price is a function of market demand. Project does not have any mechanisms to dynamically adjust the token-denominated price of services based on the USD-equivalent price determined by the market. Project ngmi?

Interesting how “tasty” implies something tastes good but “smelly” implies something smells bad
Remembering who I am implies, at some level and at some point, forgetting who I am.
My wife and I are trying to get pregnant. She’s a high powered corporate exec. All business, all the time.

She just finished ovulating this month. We had sex 5 days in a row. It was great.

Now that her fertile window is over, managing expectations, she told me, “it’s VAU for the next month.”
What is the “pop-in-ability” factor of online communities? DMs open? Open office hours?

In other words, the online equivalent to being able to pop into a friend’s house on a random weeknight just to say hey and have a drink
“AI is going to come for IQ before it comes for EQ” -Larry Summers (~40:25)

I wholeheartedly agree with this 1-liner. IQ measures capacity for manipulation of logical systems, a domain in which computers exponentially outperform humans. EQ does not and will never compile to 1s and 0s as systematically as IQ.
Those moments when I feel like my heart is complete... spending time with loved ones, deep conversations, visiting spots from my childhood, moments in nature, first tracks on a blue sky day, dancing to music without inhibition, a cold beer after a long and fulfilling day of meaningful work, a deep belly laugh. When are moments you feel your heart is complete?
tizwutiz (adjective): being or having characteristics that reflect a “it is what it is” essence or philosophy. e.g., I admire her tizwutiz approach to life
In a recent image generation conversation with @venice-ai I dropped random css code into Playground v2.5 and it gave me this pic. I don't know why but there's something about it that captivates me. It's oddly micro and macro.

My initial reaction was this must be what it looks like to view a single dust particle under a microscope while on acid...or what it's like to view a solar flare storm from a space ship in a galaxy far, far away 🤷
