Something I was thinking about as I was taking a walk w/ @ismene today:
I'm overwhelmed by this desire, to help my kids succeed. Ofc I want the best for them. I don't want them to worry or stress too much, I want them to be happy and not be too stressed.
Many plants, in the face of extreme cold, or dryness stop growth. Then there's a type of plant, called extremophytes. While most plants produce a stress hormone that acts like a stop signal for growth, with extremophytes, in the face of stressful factors, it accelerates its growth in response to its own stress hormone.
Danger is a fertile ground for growth, of course it is dangerous for a reason, and shouldn't be taken lightly. But loving my kids perhaps is going to be sometimes about letting go of this desire to control and engineer success for them at all costs. At times, they are going to have to face stress and become their own person, and solve their own problems
Yeah, this is going to be a lot harder than I thought 17 replies

Solana's launch of Blinks signals a trend.
In the long run, Twitter poses a tough challenge for Farcaster. Also as a social layer, Twitter is the largest traffic pool, attracting numerous projects to build around it.
In the application layer, there are "TwitterFi" projects like Fantasy and FriendTech, which are built on Twitter's social graph and enjoy more traffic and liquidity compared to similar products built on Farcaster's social graph.
In the middleware layer, tools like Blinks bridge the application layer and the Twitter client, allowing direct interactions with wallets on Twitter, including DeFi, NFT, gaming, and SocialFi Dapps. Farcaster's Frame no longer seems fresh after Blinks' introduction.
How will Farcaster respond? 3 replies
