Ok, pitching a new cult: We want to be into spacefaring, human survival and all that, BUT We also give a shit about the wellbeing and general qualia of the life that we spread. "Build a civilization worth spreading". Prioritizes rational thought, efficiency, all that, but also respect, boundaries, agreements.

Do we start with a channel or something? Probably needs a good name.

I think we first find a name. I propose kikiboba, the transcivilizationally recognizable yin and yang, distinct taste meets universal vibes, both bottom up and top down, reductionism ∪ holism, simultaneously the formless dao and the structureful DAO

kikiboba is a little too tpot. Needs to be super accessible imo. Or at least vaguely conceivable, like a contraction of two terms that are more widely known. Riffing: emp/acc: empathy acceleration. Also has a funny electromagnetic pun.

is the acronym/acronym pattern even too niche? Almost seems intellectual coded, I think we want easy blue collar support. Also I’ll blurt out “scienceology” bc it’s funny. No T! More science!

sciencecology well you aren't going to get very far from intellectual coding if you put science in the name I think the problem is that you need some sort of status gradient / aspirational property and intellectualism is a nice way to do that at least in our world.

Need a word for the good parts of society we’d want to perpetuate but I think most people are so dissatisfied they’d sooner commit civilizational suicide. Probably need to start with a “a more mutually beneficial and even joyous world is possible” movement, prove the concept at all, then expand to accelerating/expanding it.

what if we took the negative approach? The whole "name yourself after the monster you want to slay" playbook like Slack, MolochDAO, Discord

Oh shit, slack and discord are both riffs on early joke religions, I just noticed that!

Surely discord was doing a goof on Slack to choose Discord: it was the earlier joke religion and heavily influenced the other.

Makes me want to riff on cult names that nod to subgenius. Slack is a fantastic ideal: I love it as a word for… that place where we chill and feel more human? Slack/Acc too obscure. Chillitarian? Vibocracy?
