I think my childhood was not as convicted as my adulthood, that I would complacently settle for having fun without presence, just immersing and escaping. but as I've grown, I've realized something similar to https://www.natesilver.net/p/welcome-to-the-river or the point of Simon in LOTF. life != spirit. anyone can optimize for bliss, and maybe part of our "stewardship" as apex social animals is to blend into what already works. however, as we've repeatedly found, we are not just social animals, and many diverge sharply & riskily, realizing a very profane isolation from the regular flow. yet that irregularity, just like dynamic equilibrium and entropy and evolution, all of these tease forward more optimal paths than any comfort could reveal. acclimating to this path leads to a deeper meaning of "fun", whether that's a conscious entity or not.

It's a cliche but putting your free energy into supporting others really gives you unlimited energy

Thanks! Super kind. Yeah I’m leaning towards including just an eth address for contributions without minting anything yet and just seeing how it goes.

Thanks! I'll consider hypersub more too. I think I'm somewhat old school and inclined to just post a wallet address and not mint any tokens.

Next week, I'm planning to soft launch a new newsletter project on magic, memory, and technology, which will be more like a series of essays for a book. It's framed in a longer post, but some details are in the screenshot here. If you were to support the project, what would be the ideal way, in terms of subscription fees, donations in crypto, or otherwise? I'd like enough pledged support to be able to commit to this as at least yearlong project taking one third of my time. Appreciate the R&D help. ;)

Farcaster exclusive take: culture feels stagnant because edgelords don't know how to be in the center, and their mode of operation the last decade has mainly been one of cautious critique. What now? There's nothing, they say! All acts of creation require a bit less fear and a bit more cringe.

Yeah that would be more amenable — in many ways I’m looking for a pledged amount to know that I could commit to and sustain the project for the year. Will email with brief thoughts :)

Yeah, part of the idea for Zodiac mods came because you start with a multisig and gradually extend and automate the contracts

I think one of the most important reasons civil liberties should be protected is because living in a paranoid society is really bad for public health.

Thanks for sharing this, sincerely! It would definitely be nice if there was a common pool to draw from to keep writing on these topics
