Gorillaz created one of the best interactive metaverse experiences to date.
In 1998.
During the explosion of manufactured pop boy bands, 2 British artists decided to manufacture their own band. They created the characters 2-D (vocals, keyboards), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), Noodle (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums) and an entire fictional universe that they existed in.
Live concerts often only displayed digital projections of the fictional band. Over the years they've blended the reality between the real band and the virtual one.
The lead single, "Clint Eastwood" introduced the world to their first meta-verse that they could interact with. The styling of the characters and the music videos captivated an audience desperate for something new.

Not surprising that it's a world class athlete that speed runs the web3 content creator gauntlet.
When has it ever been possible before in history for this to be possible?
It's like watching dreams come true.

After 30 years of experience, I've learned that I can't be perpetually online.
Taking some time away (generally) to focus on some yard projects long over due.
Cleared out a section of laurels in prep for putting in a privacy fence.

Say it louder, I didn't think they heard you.
Sourcing quality content isn't a Warpcast specific problem.
The fast majority of the online experience is devoid of quality content anymore. The web2 engagement model has made it so ppl are incentivized to post baity content:
This content is designed to bait you into focusing your attention on it long enough for the creator to get paid by advertisers.
Nowhere in this system is there an incentive that results in content viewers actually getting the information they need/want.
Search for anything and you'll get endless pages of useless blogs, uninformed opinions, and pointless content.
If I want to learn something I usually have to dig through forum discussions and Reddit threads for that small handful of ppl who actually have the information I'm looking for.
Nothing about the modern Internet experience is designed to elevate that information so ppl can find it and the person who shared it gets recognition.
This is the problem space we need to solve.

Getting a head start on the weekend with a little compost mulch to top off the garden in preparation for fall.
I don't know if it's faster, but it's a heck of a lot more fun with machinery! 🤣

Some thoughts on Channels that got too long for a cast:

@ccarella.eth should collaborate with @zemm on @scoutgamexyz and to integrate GIVE with the scout game!
I see potential for both projects to:
- increase discovery
- cross pollinate communities
- add high context value via overlapping trust networks

This guy only knows happiness. Closest thing to trauma he's ever experienced is that one time I forgot to feed him breakfast before noon.
Is this the future?

Such an important consideration for founders.
Bootstrapping is sooo hard, but like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon, the struggle is often what proves your product.
VC debt can give you the runway you need, but bad debt of any kind is the most deadly force in any economy.
Raise carefully, friends!

There's a massive disconnect because Consumers aren't on the receiving end of any of the value being created in the attention economy. Consumers are used to content creation being subsidized by advertising. Without that subsidy, most can't afford the cost of actually supporting Creators.
We have to fix the economics before Consumers can directly fund Creators!

Anyone who sits down for a living needs to recognize it's not a question of if you'll have back problems, but when.
Take it from an old man who's had 2 back surgeries already. Whether these workouts seem too easy to be useful or too hard to be possible, simply moving your body in controlled ways every day is as critical as drinking water.

"Form follows finance"
Has profit margins corrupted design aesthetic?
Does maximizing for conversion rates undermine creativity?
Have we lost the sense of creating things for the sheer obsessive satisfaction of making something that resonates with others in exchange for a better bottom line?
These are the kinds of questions I like to see coming up in this industry where we literally get to start from scratch with all our theories.

Wow, @mazmhussain nailed it with this commentary on crypto, inspired by Dixon's book.
Same thing I was alluding to about projects needing to build utility first.
We have to start building things for utility first! Less consumer hype focus, more good business focus.
Put on your big kid pants and give this a read:

More and more I keep thinking about ways crypto needs to be b2b first, not consumer.
I actually think I'm more bullish on moxie as a token distribution system for establishing a community seed. That could be the utility that eventually leads to it creating a viable self sustaining ecosystem that funds content creation. Starting with the end without the utility is what's making it a classic 📉
Market the system to projects and communities for TGE instead of airdrops and seed investors. These projects will bring their *own* utility with whatever they are building, so it won't be a ponzi scheme for their community.
The utility of providing a service that generates profit will create value for moxie that can fund the content creation flywheel. But without that injection of energy as a baseline to survive the sell pressure, it won't get spinning.

Channel selection improvement suggestion:
Indicate on the search results which channels you follow.
Ideally you'd be able to tap on the channel in the search results to see description, rules, etc. as well without leaving your cast draft. Icons and follower counts change. Hard to keep track of which channel if there are several with similar names when you're trying to explore new cozy corners.
