The robots are getting humanier and the humans are getting robotier.

Bots will progressively begin to seem more human than actual humans in our current text/image based internet mediums. 

An AI (bot) simply has more ‘time’ to represent itself at scale, as a clever or funny human than real humans do.

peak creativity often comes from large, unstructured blocks of free time

reading, writing, having conversations, building something, walking, exploring fc, etc

it looks unproductive at the time, but i personally find it leads to the most meaningful breakthroughs that we couldn't have anticipated 🌱

These blocks of time aren't common practice in our always busy and over-scheduled American culture. Do you find ways to incorporate enough of these unstructured blocks of time into your days, weeks or your year? 

If so, how? If not, why?

Swipe left on mobile, all of the channels you care about (favorites) are in an order you control (tap and drag)

TIL tap & drag functionality to arrange channel favorites. Nice subtle feature.

I appreciate artists who elevate mundane moments

A network of marinas for sailboats piloted by AI and powered by wind/solar

This is the network state I would join 

The network owns the sailing AI so they all depend on it

So who is gonna join the surfing focused sailboat fleet that charts a course to drop anchor at pristine surf breaks every week?? 🖐️

For those of you in a DAO, I'll just leave this here

Authentically wrestling to understand truth, beauty, and goodness more deeply is a noble and worthwhile endeavor. 

How can your work, no matter the field be more beautiful?

Blood may be thicker than water, but the bond of coffee is a close second. This shared passion is palpable

You may have to try hard to build this practice at first, but eventually it becomes effortless as you experience the inherent enjoyment in doing something well. A quiet satisfaction offered freely by the task itself.

Anne Frank believed in something, maybe you've heard of her,

“It's difficult in times like these: [...] It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”

to me, talking about /higher as a token and as an easy trade undermines its status + strength as a brand

the most successful brands are built by teams passionate about a vision and creating something new + valuable; without regard for price which is often just a distraction

intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation matters

‘Number go up’ focuses our minds on ‘having’ rather than ‘becoming’ 

Focus on becoming a higher version of yourself. 

As we do this collectively, number WILL go up.

Believe in Something

I always surround myself with people who /believein something. Just subbed for 6 months

I am just flowing with tears of joy for a friend of mine

He has had a very hard life, family are addicts and wife was awful and they are now divorced 

Found out that he has a half sister who is wonderful, has a big happy family and wants to make him part of their life

He deserves it so much, purely wonderful news

Similar to how VCs win as their portfolio companies win, we can yield even more satisfying rewards with people. 

When we invest ourselves into meaningful relationship with someone as a friend, mentor, husband, father or brother their wins become our wins. 

Beautiful win, @mcbain

Building Farcaster for teams @crew Midwest mom in a California dad bod 

Swatch -> Based Punk for @jihad was a worthy quest, so we do a little animating

media dealer ↑ /believein /native /jihad

the permissionless channel proposal unlocks channel owner's ability to monetize their channel with advertising via a moderation rule that allows advertisers to pay for inclusion

ad marketplaces that you can opt into just like that and monetize that sweet attention across every Farcaster client

this is crazy shift

Channel monetization can provide a sustainable model for $DEGEN and other community tokens

Rather than the airdrops ending in 2028 or whatever, it could be an infinite tipping flywheel by way of ad-money inflows

Curiosity and passion will lead to compulsion, which is far more important than forced consistency
