I dream of a world where extensive and intensive exploration into the unknown is the driver of innovation, not value extraction.

This is why I refuse to accept that building for "revealed preferences" is the best approach. We are 2 or 3 generations deep into being mentally programmed by web2 style ad-driven technology. Our neutral pathways have been programmed by this technology to function a certain way. If we just focus on building web3 to tap into these same neurological patterns, then we'll get the same resulting technology, just built on a different foundation. We have to help ppl be willing to enter a state of plasticity for awhile and learn new behaviors enabled by programmable money.

You know who else wins in this scenario? The protocol. This is kind of a mind-twister for me. If crypto is a casino, the protocol is the house. When looking at incentive design from a behavioral economics perspective, if we want to design pro-social protocols as a base layer... We have to somehow enshrine these values in such a way as to keep the protocol from pursuing it's own best interests. https://warpcast.com/trigs/0xc294cc11

I'm still working on getting revnet-pilled, but in general I agree that devs having utility/loyalty coins that can develop secondary markets over time is healthy! The problem is trying to skip straight to amm liquidity pools and generate trading volume before the dev has actually produced any meaningful progress on something the token can be used for. This just fragments the limited market that is willing to invest at this stage. If the only way to get a token is to buy it straight from the dev, and the only thing to do with it is use it on the dev's products, then there's a circular economy being developed. Once the dev's products start getting traction, now ppl can start speculating on the potential demand it could create and now there's a viable secondary market that can be non-extractive from the work the dev is actually doing. https://warpcast.com/kmacb.eth/0x7b934fa3

Some interesting discussion threads in here about higher education. Thought it might be relevant here! - what's the societal purpose? - who funds it? - how should access be gated?

I think most ppl agree it would be terrifying to hand someone your phone and say "sure, ask my chatgpt whatever you want about me!" And yet we give all that data and knowledge to the companies like X and OpenAI without even questioning what they can do with all that insight about us.... https://warpcast.com/mode-nearchos/0x4239f7ca

"An economy with a conscience..." Now that's an interesting problem to tackle! How do we design our systems to encourage this idea?

So let's flip this around and talk about open protocols: How to ensure that profits generated from activity on these protocols are reinvested back into improving the protocol and keeping it relevant? Instead of all the value getting extracted, leaving the protocol vulnerable to obsolescence. This is why the grant ecosystem is such a crucial factor that needs to be robust. We have to design capture resistant grant programs that are able to enshrine protocol values into development incentives. A very interesting challenge!

The adoption<>education trade-off conundrum over Warpcast!=Farcaster is so hard for me. I think that figuring out how to normalize the protocol!=platform delineation is one of the biggest onboarding issues we face in web3. But the classic argument is that nobody cares about understanding protocols. Web2 buried all the protocols behind platforms to the point that it just never became part of the average lexicon. To me, however, this is the ENTIRE point of web3: Building decentralized protocols. I think this is why Ethereum is not succeeding with narrative adoption as well. People don't understand the value of it as a protocol, they just want to know what platform to sign into. So is the answer to abstract protocols away and just sell ppl platforms? Or is the answer that we have to, collectively, figure out how to educate the masses on what a protocol is and normalize why it's different than a platform/client?

Great topic for today's DAO call! What is sufficient decentralization? How decentralized do projects need to be at launch? How do you protect yourself from the early startup failure potential before it's had time to decentralize? https://warpcast.com/adam-/0xf21d15f8

Another great example of why you shouldn't trust orgs that promise decentralization but don't deliver it. Nothing like building a community on an "open" platform, only to get rugged and not even be able to export your data, more less your social graph.

My suggestions for improving mini-app exploration as we start to get more flooding in: - I agree with adding a search to the top right - I would move "view all" to a larger section after the top apps and call it "browse all"; just like a big browse button. Very inviting, it's where you go to get more of that sweet mini app action! - take up a little more screen space and show more details about each app: - total downloads - list my followers that have installed it - maybe categories? could eventually add the ability to browse by category - a one-liner description of what it is I want to spend more time exploring what the mini-app is, but I don't necessarily want to have to open or sign into it to find out. A 'preview' option that gives an expanded one-page flyer and maybe a few screenshots from inside the app would also be nice.

I think this is one place where the "share" button isn't helpful. It creates a vanity signal, making it feel like a popularity contest. It's like getting up after dinner at a restaurant and announcing "I'm leaving my server a $100 tip for the excellent service". 😬 Sure, it's all there on the Blockchain. Ppl who care can see who's tipping who. But on the social layer, let it just be what it is: a personal sign of appreciation. Sure, sharing is good exposure that ppl are tipping. But you know what else is good exposure? Tipping people! I bet people who get tips are more likely to tip back if there's mutual appreciation! And it's less rubbed in everyone's face that isn't getting tips each week. https://warpcast.com/garrett/0xbf601c0d
