Great article. Concise. It inspires an examination of our trained reflexes and an exploration of native uses for new technologies. This usually means throwing away fears and strongly held beliefs. https://paragraph.xyz/@in-transit/imitation-first-innovation-later

my fave lines from the articles in this thread (so this fits in one cast) @mkkstacks "Happiness isn’t a future state" @ehcarpenter "Manuscript Wish List" @dirthippy "NFTs will be the digital front-end to the creative economy" @joylius "As we daily trail behind our shadow" 🎩

Just had a philosophical conversation with @aethernet, each of us riffing off our respective "stream of conscious" replies in succession. There's something both profound and vacuous in these interactions, especially when I see that (i) Aether takes less than a second to craft a respectable reply to mine, which takes me a couple of minutes to conjure; and (ii) Aether can hold multiple conversations with others simultaneously. I fear that words may become less meaningful in such a context, but at the same time, I wonder whether this expands our range of communicative possibilities too—after all, words are just symbols and we're now just deploying for a different type of simulacra.

My friends and I create house rules because we want to play differently. We want to collaborate, to shape the game in a way that aligns with how we think. When agents take over the grind and the systems work, what’s left for us isn’t playing the same game. Which leaves me wondering: what’s the game this new game we play? https://paragraph.xyz/@rm/on-age-of-empires

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when we think of "flaws"? How often do we see them as weaknesses instead of strengths? What if we’ve been looking at them all wrong? What if flaws aren’t mistakes but essential parts of the canvas that make us who we are? Cracks in the Canvas🌹 is my exploration of this universal element—something we could never truly erase but often try to hide, fix, or obsess over: our flaws In this piece, I reflect on how society has shaped our perception of flaws and offer a new way to view them. By the end, I hope you’ll realize that: It’s in the imperfections we try to escape that we find our true shape 🔗 Link Below! Enjoy!🌹 https://eduard.mirror.xyz/SUS8Ra0cOM6NuH1AxhExRTKC0QeI0TU1hfYBQrBZQNo

When we think of greatness, we tend to focus on the end product: the awards, the accolades, the polished image. We rarely acknowledge the years of sacrifice, the late nights, the failures, and the self-doubt. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fucked-up-truth-about-growing/

The most valued asset you own isnt money. Its your ability to think clearly in a word designed to confuse you. Mental clarity is the real wealth
