Even though this is ostensibly a tech-dominated platform at present there are quite a few people I have encountered on Farcaster who are knowledgeable about politics, history, and even literature and philosophy. I’m genuinely impressed and can often get a good sense of others knowledge because of the right-sized message limits that encourage complex expression without sacrificing concision. 

One thing I love about the internet is that if you use it right it’s actually like a crowdsourcing tool for having millions of mini-teachers giving lessons around the clock. You could probably create a decent magazine or other publication drawing from tech people who have bases of knowledge in other fields, particularly the humanities. Any worthwhile intellectual project for public consumption is usually a team effort on some level with everyone bringing a different set of strengths.

This is why the Farcaster teams approach to growth makes sense to me.

Target crypto first and bring as many crypto natives as you can because most crypto people have other interests as well so they will start to fill out other bases or content as you grow.

The approach makes sense to me. 🤷‍♂️

As the base of crypto natives grow, it broadens the content horizon.
