There is some great stuff in here! I hope someday the "takes" industry offers retroactive funding for this public good...

Just learned that I'm related to one of the top people who has been fighting for human rights in Russia. Pleased to share a little blood with a real one. https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/11/18/prominent-russian-rights-defender-sentenced-eight-years-prison

Love this. Reminds me of my favorite line from the book “Impro” by Keith Johnstone: "I began to think of children not as immature adults, but of adults as atrophied children."

Observing Chia has helped me internalize the fact that worldchanging ideas will often be ignored for years. Therefore, there must be countless other brilliant solutions in the world we don't know about. Humanity still has many secret tricks up our sleeve. https://x.com/hoffmang/status/1866967867796885816

In the future, do you think there will be more kinetic warfare than today, or less? If less, would that be because of greater peace, or because war itself will be less kinetic?

The velocity of innovation on here is incredible. Would be cool if there were a way to see which Farcaster users who you interact with have not yet gotten a @socialtoken airdrop (I have not! Hook me up!), since that would help token distribution better reflect the social graph.

I only watched the first few minutes of this, but it looks like a very interesting medium for explaining the climate predicament to people... https://flowchart.bettercatastrophe.com/

It’s so confusing to me how bad most “I’m boosted” posts are. It’s like if a genie granted you three wishes and your first wish was “I wish everyone knew that I now only have two wishes left”

I’m super happy with the /climate channel. You are all consistently bringing high quality content, lots of signal, little noise. With the launch of channel memberships, the initial plan is: any non-member who would like to be a member should DM me an example of some climate-related post you have created. Maybe later we’ll try something more fancy. Also I made a banner image for the channel, hope you like it.

To help scratch your itch I recommend this theatrical production which will have a 6 week run at the Strand Theater next May-July. I’m biased because I co-wrote it and co-starred in the first 3 iterations. Tickets just went on sale: https://www.act-sf.org/whats-on/2024-25-season/co-founders/

Shout out to SHARKS for helping cut global aviation emissions by spending millions of years evolving skin that reduces drag, so this startup could copy that innovation and 3d print film we can wrap around all airplanes to reduce their fuel consumption. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sleek-fuel-saving-airplanes-coated-with/id1621556928?i=1000668423491

Bingo. In the words of Bucky Fuller: "Specialization is in fact only a fancy form of slavery wherein the 'expert' is fooled into accepting a slavery by making him feel that he in turn is a socially and culturally preferred—ergo, highly secure—lifelong position."
