Is governance bringing sexy back?

This reminds me of the story of Bertha Benz. She and her husband, Karl, invented the Benz automobile. She is known as "the woman who taught us to drive". She made the first long distance automobile journey, driving her son's from Mannheim to Pforzheim, Germany and back in 1888 (without her husband's knowledge, as he sat hand-wringing in the shop, obsessing over the design). She proved what the automobile was capable of! She also learned some things that led her to inventing a few things (several of which along the way!) 1. A network of fuel stations 2. Replaceable Brake lining 3. Lower gear ratios for hills She made so many insights by just using the thing and realizing what people would need to make it work as a part of their lives. We have to be constantly pushing ourselves to be like Bertha and learn to prioritize studying actual use cases and defining our requirements to meet user needs. Otherwise the users will make compromises they don't understand the consequences of, and that's on us!

Very important topics to think deeply on. The part about how the loud voices often drown out those actually doing the work is very apt for this ecosystem. With access to the internet and now AI tools... the ability to portray oneself as an 'expert' in something has a lower barrier than ever before.

Top 1% of knowledge seems a bit elitist imo. Top 10% of knowledge is honestly pretty damn interesting for most niche topics. Even top 20% is pretty impressive. Setting the bar too high is also a deterrent. We don't need the smartest ppl here, just smart enough ppl willing to put in the time to make quality content.

Found this interesting suggestion of how to build DIDs architecture. This is a scheme from an article called "A trustworthy architecture for Web3 service" written by Yuki Yasuno, Ryo Tateishi, Ranmaru Shiroishi and Shigeru Hosono, 2024. They are solving the following issues: 1) saving users from the decision taking on what web3 services to uses and by doing it eliminating the security issues 2) keeping all personal data on the user side and by doing that removing risk of losing personal data which is held by centralized providers. Their idea is to have this brokerage system, where credentials (DID) of a user is confirmed by broker and then the service provided is chosen by that from a list of available web3 service providers. Looking at this I still have one question tho... Isn't that brokerage part not centralized too? 🤔

Very interesting visualization of the Web3 equivalent of the Maslow Pyramid was suggested in an article called "Web3: The Next Internet Revolution" by Wan Shicheng, Hong Lin, Wensheng Gan, Jiahui Chen and Philip S. Yu, 2024. A very human-centric look at what is actually needed in the world of Web3. It starts with the base like infrastructure and safety technologies and ends up all the way with value. Basically the very same pyramid transformed into something that we're looking at from web3 now. It's always belonging and value creation on the top, but to have the top working, we also need the bottom that's designed to support the top - designed in a way that's available to every person in an understandable way.

I wish that you could just load up a starter pack as a custom feed. @alvesjtiago.eth this would be a cool feature for @fiids maybe! There's already a "starter pack discovery" problem, so maybe if there was some combined elements of discovering new starter packs and being able to just load them up quickly as a dedicated feed. Less of a commitment than following a ton of ppl who you have no idea what they post. Then you can follow individuals as you get to know them from the starter feed.

Looking forward to living in a world where we celebrate identifying single points of failure and collectively bring attention to opportunities for new players to enter the ring and provide value in a net-decentralizing kind of way. Why is everyone always so defensive when someone tries to point out "yeah this is great, but here's where our points of failure still are"? They really aren't gonna like Nearchos when we launch our 6 pillars review after mood maps v1 is done!

This is called misdirection. Classic bi-partisan tactics to keep us arguing about questions that don't have answers (likely unintentional here). The issue isn't whether memecoins are good or bad. That's a moral question that is completely subjective and highly variable based on context. Without a clear context, it's easy to argue either side with no possibility of resolution. The important question is whether the mechanisms with which memecoins are being presented to people is accurately representing what they are and if the focus on this kind of trading activity is actually promoting positive growth that is setting us up for long term sustainability vs creating another way to extract value from an uninformed retail market.

Very well articulated criticism of why meme coins are not an "investment vehicle" to support early dev projects. You have to look at the power dynamics to fully grok it: - platform is collecting most of the trading fees - asymmetric information benefits extractive trading - "investors" have zero rights, guarantees, or protections - projects that are better at stimulating drama that causes trading generate more revenue than projects that just focus on heads down grinding - zero revenue potential for the meme tokenomics means inevitably no return on investment unless you do extractive trading - the more committed you are to helping the project the more likely you are to end up dumped on in the end The system is designed to make sure the system profits. Just like any good casino, the house always wins.

Another reason why we're working on Mood Maps. People need clarity on what actions to take. Casinos and roulettes are easy. You come in and spin, spin, spin... There a 1/1000000 you'll get lucky. Changing the world on the other hand... That's where you face millions of unknowns and grumpy faces of those spinning their roulettes. Mood Maps goal is to bring that clarity for people willing to take the reigns and change the world for us!
