Cohost of /gmfarcaster, a live stream Farcaster news show.  Engineer. Mom x 3. I love to share the wonder and beauty of daily life.

2️⃣ Rapid exchange of tools and techniques – As soon as something is invented, it is flaunted and then shared. Ideas flow quickly because they are flowing inside a common language and sensibility.

3️⃣ Network effects of success – When a record is broken, a hit happens, or breakthrough erupts, the success is claimed by the entire scene. This empowers the scene to further success.

Characteristics of a scenius:

In a scenius ideas don’t flow downstream, but in a whirlpool. Getting better and better through community expansion and hardening
