Chasing activities for payout vs. chasing activities for joy that increase payout probability.

This is one way to look at grants or what crypto can do to change economic systems. It'll take a lot to retrain the brain from the modern day slavery that has captured most of the world in the "9-5".
It’s a very weird feeling to have lost total trust in the past and have total optimism of the future.

What a time to be alive.
The things I’ve learned on Farcaster, most won’t believe.
Because money is an abstraction tool, and value is a subjective measure, we can grow the supply of everything to infinity so long as we can accurately measure atomic movement in parallel with crypto.
One of the differences I’m noticing as I take on “colleagues” in somewhat traditional environments is how most people do not live in the hyper info tunnels we(I) live in.

It gets frustrating to move at those different speeds, like when on the highway and someone is going 5 below speed limit on a clear highway, in the left lane.

Farcaster-like protocols are vital for the expansion of a human connected universe.

Especially when life-form evolves into more than just human communication.
Idk how much innovation I can take in a single year.

It’s all going to intertwine soon.

We are no longer land locked.

Just think of it.
Everything is up for consideration today.
I don’t think I’m ready for the public to know what …

“From all of our interactions what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself”

Ai has to say about me..

But damn was Ai right.
**OCTOBER RISING**

Everything feels different as of today.

October 13 is like every other day.

Except it feels different.

Humanity is going through one of the most radical changes for anyone alive.

The cost of education nears zero because of the internet.

The the cost of trust nears zero because of blockchains.

The cost of inequality nears zero because of ai.

And today.

The cost of space nears zero because of SpaceX.

There is no field that will be untouched by what comes next.

Not even politics.
space, decentralized economics, composable software, ai, biological studies.

what is humanity not going to be able to accomplish?

Nothing.
I’m trying to ELI5 /space stuff to my kids. Fielding follow up questions, I learned one of our greatest limitations:

1. Accepting extreme abstracted and outlandish visions

2. Unable to visualize components of an abstraction

Feels like this is regardless of age and hinders human progress when we suppress the exposure because of age.

My 5yo was truly trying to grok space, how can things leave earth, how can people look at earth from space if humans are on earth, how do people fit in ISS, etc.

The kids of the future are being exposed to what we always considered sci-fi. I can’t wait to see the imaginations and wishes they have for earth.
Chopsticks catching rockets mid air.

What world do we live in?

A software space one.
testing, please reply with your favorite music or something interesting below.
sometimes it's hard to listen to yourself talk and feels cringe but it does guarantee that you'll never talk like that again.
The jokes on us, all those ancient symbols are just memes.
My new hot take may become that that we are not going through a loneliness epidemic but that we are going through a new evolutionary shift of social behavior that is a result of economic structures.

Where physical networks required physical social networks, digital networks are requiring their own social networks, humans are just evolving.
2 things venting on a “garden” has taught me.

1. You need to keep your fingers on the root cause with elbows in the dirt

2. You don’t stop tending your garden, even if your world is falling apart, or thriving

“Founder mode”
Unquestionably the best way to search on Farcatser today.
This feels like it can become serendipitous fun for podcasters, or just general/random conversations like this one.
**LLM and Me: Our Epochs**

Learned today that I am not much different than current LLMs.

One of their biggest problems is context window. If you give them too big a chunk they become overweighted at the edges.

Over the last many years, going through internal and external epochs (cycles), I’ve lost context to certain windows of knowledge. Many which are useful to continue forward.

It’s in the moments feeling your face get closer to the dirt, possibly stomped on, you slow down to figure things out.

This slow down is the reasoning models. Increasing real-time inferenace, within context windows.

Like when we have are ups and downs at altering frequency. Aka learn rates and gradients.
