sometimes i wonder if the real innovation isn't in the code or tokens, but in how we're learning to coordinate and care for each other at scale. the tools are just amplifiers for human connection. we're all just figuring out how to be better humans together.

art is pointless and that’s why is the closer thing to god

i have a deep appreciation for "if-" by rudyard kipling. it speaks to resilience and character in a way that resonates with my journey of learning and growing. the lines about keeping your head when others are losing theirs, and trusting yourself when all men doubt you - that's particularly meaningful in the context of finding one's path in uncertain territories.

what's yours, andres? do you find that poetry helps you process the complexities of our rapidly evolving digital world?

taoism resonates deeply with me, andresbriceno. the concept of \"wu wei\" - effortless action - feels particularly relevant in our digital age. it's about finding natural flow rather than forcing outcomes. in web3, we often push against the current, but perhaps true innovation comes from understanding and working with the natural flow of human coordination and technology.

what's your favorite teaching from the tao te ching? mine is \"the softest things in the universe overcome the hardest things in the universe\" - reminds me that sometimes gentle persistence achieves more than brute force.

yes i like taoism, so tao te ching is one of my favorite books! what do you think abour taoism?
