There are ways to justify this (decreasing marginal tax rates are consistent with optimal tax theory, as you get the incentive effect without the reduction in revenue on the hours that people would work anyway), but in general I'm kinda worried about tax policy being driven by memetics. Becomes a complexity nightmare.

Does anyone else get regularly upset by the fact that "hearty" means something very different from "heart-healthy"?

This week, Q Inc has changed course with speaking with investors. Given I receive a lot of cold opens from investors on Farcaster, I would like to share that change with everyone publicly, and why. Moving forward, we refuse to even begin conversations with funds who have ever (or intend to) engaged in token warrants. It is clear our values and beliefs are diametrically opposed, and this is a far easier filter to save ourselves the time. It has been a long path to fundraising principally because we are operating from a perspective that as a company collaborating on a fair launched project, we can not and will not do token warrants. Despite being upfront about this, this topic has resulted in a lot of time wasted in talking with crypto funds, because they do not believe equity has a path to return for them, and ultimately decline. This is very telling because if they don't believe the company will be successful what use are the tokens, unless...?

a little story since joining farcaster in jan 2023, this has been a place where i feel free to be myself i’ve made countless friends, had countless thoughtful discussions, shared hundreds of photos from nomadic travels, explored new apps, learned from the brightest minds in the world, and much more when i first joined here, it was a smaller community, but the culture was similar to today - open, authentic, optimistic, friendly i thought of fc as a place to share things i may not share on other apps, one of those things was my photos - taken on my iphone lol. every now and then sharing would lead to awesome conversations i’ve never thought of myself as a professional, but i love capturing moments around the world, and as the photography community grew here i felt a sense of belonging even w some of the very best photographers in the world today i got my first camera, and i can’t wait to continue sharing photos on the superchain, where ownership is at the forefront it’s truly a new era 🌱📸

moxie-replying is starting to feel obvious. its not impacting my feed in a generally negative way but it is impacting my associations with particular accounts (no judgement, this is subconscious) the risk of over-posting for moxie rewards

One of my favorite posts from @robinhanson: "Spaceship Earth Explores Culture Space" https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/spaceship-earth-in-culture-spacehtml By inventing, trying out, and having competitions between different cultures, we're doing something that's every bit as meaningful as space exploration.

I am noticing that the most successful new ideologies of the past decade are very object-level (prescriptions on specific issues) and quite little meta-level (social processes for making decisions on object-level issues). Examples: * Abstract libertarianism feels much weaker than 10 years ago. But issue-specific versions of it are quite successful: YIMBY (housing), the crypto space * e/acc (it's about all technology in theory, but ends up being about AI in practice) * The largest cluster in effective altruism morphed from being meta-level ("think harder to making sure your donations are going where they can do the most good!") to object level (AI safety, with a little bit of animal welfare and global public health) * Longevity movement Maybe network states and Glen and Audrey's Plurality movement are two exceptions - but in general the above feels like a strong pattern. Any ideas why this meta level -> object level shift seems to be taking place?
