many DeSo projects focus on user monetization, highlighting it in UX and value props farcaster doesn't, instead focusing on social graph features if you look at human history + academic research, joy and a sense of fulfillment are more significantly influenced by social network than monetary success study humanity

this reminds me of steve jobs’ “do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life or come with me and change the world?" humans are biologically wired to need purpose; it is a biological function involving the most evolutionarily primitive parts if our brain palmer lucky is appealing authentically to that

there are 2 LA channels /la and /los-angeles the former is more intuitive + convenient to type, the latter was created first (pre-permissionless) and used most often until /farcon was in LA should the channels stay separate? merge? how would that work? imo would prefer 1 channel at this level of qDAU / cast volume

asking genuinely because i’ve been buried in croissants the past days: what was the issue with degen L3? is there a reason i don’t see many *user* complaints / casts about it, just leadership? how does accountability work onchain when interoperability is king and there’s many pieces required for full function?

think i may build a version of urban dictionary on top of farcaster. is anyone else doing this already? there are so many memes, phrases, moments, etc. inherent to crypto and the niche-ness is only amplified on farcaster. seems like a fun way to memorialize memetic moments and use the social graph / hub data.

spent the last two days with family packing up my brother’s apartment in aix en provence, the most charming city south of paris. home to cezanne, lively markets, laidback cafes, gorgeous tree-lined streets, and an overwhelming sense of “l’art de vivre”. this place makes life slow down in the best type of way.

this OpEd reads as intellectually dishonest. 2 Qs: 1 why is it fine for women to be single-issue voters on abortion but not for others to be on crypto? 2 how is it fine to twist the pro-crypto stance from “supporting economic freedom” to “selfish financial interests”? answer seems to be in the last paragraph
