Literally no different than humans.

We run the danger of over-intellectualizing the world with edge case fear.

(this is a note for myself, not a commentary on Vitalik or tweet)
randomly ran into this project yesterday and can't help but see the similarities current internet structures, walled data, produce similar outcomes at larger scales.

besides that, this is super cool!

Forgot to celebrate my birthday this year!

It's day 1114 of my Farcaster journey!

I have joined Farcaster on Dec 10 2021 16:31 UTC

My 4th Farcaster birthday is in 347 days

How about you?

Technology is only going to get more boring from here on out and all the old boring is going to get more interesting.
Launch something daily.

As I prepare for the unknowns of 2025 the only thing I can do is prepare myself to compound my work by launching continuously.

It starts with lesgreys.com and grows from there. (the ai conversation is still not plugged into the knowledge base)
Just got done reading chapter 1 of Anxious Generation and I’m left feeling this book and the author is going to do a lot of harm to kids and parents.

Going to keep reading simply because I want to understand the entirety of the author’s arguments.

But Im left feeling author is creating the anxiety for his own gain. This is not to say anxiety isn’t happening amongst the age groups.
Part of my social media thesis, Farcaster, et al. and why it must be decentralized, is due to how the internet will become a hyper-social. environment.

For example, we should be able to become social on/off around activities, topics, and locations.

Right now, online social predominantly happens on location, IG, Twitter, etc, and then subsets into topics, driven by activity inside these locations.

Humans, for several generations, have the behavior of restructuring that order, topics, activity, location. It’s this behavior of rearranging the structure of being social that is still missing online.

Farcaster’s FIP-2 was a step in the right direction but adoption lacks because it’s still hindered by Warpcast, or clients that need location first adoption.

I’m not sure what breaks us out, but I do think the right path is the ability to LEGO the social chain. Which comes from decentralization somehow.
You heard it first!
I think this captures our scene perfectly — “most of us have lifestyle business goals” by @vgr in The Art of Gig 1, pg. 52 “Clutch Class”.
Can’t help but feel like 2025 is going to be a convergence of many inflection points.

For better or worse. Local and global.

Been a while since I’ve tried to call any major shifts.
Merry Christmas to me!

And to all of you amazing Farcasters!
Launching later today!

Looking forward to Matt’s experiment!

We’ve been getting hot slop since T-Ford and his mass production ideas.
crazy how much life resembles a train stop, with all it's risk and not.
now I get why the whole harry potter scene and many movies have the scene in it.
blockchains truly open up the flood gates for creative work monetization.

eg. back in the day, one could lend their vinyl or CD to a friend to listen to. although people have grown accustomed to 'near free' slop for over a decade, blockchains enable the old model of 'lending' and being restricted by the same physical constraints. one just has to tap into the zeitgeist and build the right flow. exclusion is making a creative comeback.
i used to wonder why people knew so much. it turns out they just had more nodes connected.
yo @bias i think i need your taste on some design work i'm doing.

willing to pay you, I know you are in high demand! I'll DM you later but wanted to atleast put you on blast and headsup.
world makes more sense when I realized I'm downstream of the future culture today.
