TrueFarcaster

Inspired by the r/TrueReddit community, this is the place to link long-form articles from quality publications and engage in thoughtful discussions on any topic. Articles do not need to be recent, only engaging and inspiring.

Inspired by the r/TrueReddit community, /TrueFarcaster was one of the earliest permissionless channels on FC. Its intent was to host thoughtful discussions about longform articles. I did not spend enough time curating such content lately. Would someone be interested in taking over now that ownership can be transferred?

Assuming the creator and startup economy participants are over-represented on Farcaster, I wonder how much of this community is financially secure vs not, and how much is wagmi vs ngmi

Most people understand that mass production lowered the cost of consumer goods. Today’s challenge is the high price of services like healthcare, higher education and law, that are monopolised by guilds of highly educated experts.

Farcasters seem to love strong opinions loosely held (SOLH). But is that the right framework? If you are willing to change your opinion in the face of new data, then isn't it just a plain hypothesis? Does "strong" reflect your bombastic confidence, or that the idea has withstood the test of time and repeat experiments?
