Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

think we'll have to agree to disagree here if you're stuck on economy is more than making money and im saying economy as a story will ruin the network, because we're just talking about different things

no disagreements with the advantages to an actual economy, only that as a narrative it will attract low quailty behavior

i can try to reframe one more time though to see if we can make progress

a city-state has an economy, it's a good feature, but it also has roads, inhabitants, political bias, and a vibe

if you tell people to move somewhere for the economy, they're going to move there to make money

if you say it has great walkability, or friendly communities, or is strongly capitalist, or is the best place to build a startup, other types of folks will flock to it

all of these things require a great economy, but depending on the messaging you're going to attract a different crowd

and i dont want the economy crowd, i'd much prefer all the other types of people who would move instead

@deodad pushing me to clarify thoughts.  appreciate you. i like this framing better vs. my late night jetlagged rant and is closer to me providing actual solutions instead of just bitching and moaning
