Moxiesplaining Journal Day 2: Want to, Not Have To

As Moxie builds an economic engine for Farcaster, it can help create more opportunities for “unjobbing”: permissionless work based on *alignment* instead of employment.

I didn’t ask the Airstack team for permission to start a Moxiesplaining journal. I’m simply writing what I want to write. It’s opt-in. It's inspired by my alignment with the Moxie vision.

That's why I call Farcaster my "un-job."

If people respond, I’ll receive Moxie rewards, which in turn can help free up more time for alignment-based work. 

Non-coercion is baked into the design.

I find great magnetism in work that flows from “want to, not have to.”

Moxiesplaining Journal Day 1: The Big Picture

Ever since Moxie launched, I've often said that "Farcaster has become my un-job." 

“Unjobbing,” in my lexicon, is positive-sum and socially beneficial. It includes:

- Opportunities to do work that gives back to creatives as much as (or more than!) it takes.

- Increased freedom for creatives to align themselves as they'd choose to anyway, regardless of employment prospects or paid gigs.

As Moxie continues to work in the background to financially reward quality contributions to the Farcaster network, it helps free up more time for unjobbing. 

I’d like to live in a world in which everyone who wants to can “roll their own” un-jobs into a sustainable livelihood. 

I'm excited about the inroads Moxie is making toward that world.
