Yeah. We can do that culturally from crypto, but the major political parties already chose the other axis.

The left is totally whiffing on technology rn, and they have a lot of the empaths, who are nice to have. I think there’s a not too big conceptual gap to clear between cooperatives and labor organizing and alternative currencies and smart contracts, but somehow it was made a culture war issue so the shields went up. Need bridges.

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?

Pre internet! Discordianism was like a zine cult.

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

I personally find it confusing and think a lot of people initially thought MolochDao was trying to be evil.

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

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.

It really seems like LLMs are not great at criticism. I’m unclear if this is a technical limitation or some pre-prompt thing.

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!
