HIGHER

Optimists ↑

gm. a reminder 

martin just decided to make aether. sat down, had an idea, and shipped it 

this is the art of this network

you can just decide to make stuff & if the network likes it we will all support the living shit out of you. it’s so simple it seems like we’re bullshitting 

but we aren’t. higher

my favorite part of higher is that all this stuff, @aethernet, /optimists, higher athletics, podcast, art mints, etc. is all additive

the simplicity of higher as a meme acts as a base layer for anyone to come along and contribute with their own flavor, whatever that may be 

contributing to higher solves the cold-start problem for creators with a built in audience (ht @jack), and by contributing you’re adding another layer to the meme, which helps the higher meme grow, which feeds back into itself by helping your contribution grow, and so on

feels nounish and opepenish
