Starting May 7, I’m launching three open experiments to explore how communities can create with AI and get rewarded for it.GoalsEncourage creativity. Make it easy to jump in. Reward top contributors. Earn ETH, plus long-term alignment with the channel’s token.Build sustainable creative ecosystems. I’m especially interested in models where economic structures can sustain creative momentum. I hope one or more of these experiments continues beyond May: evolving into something self-funding, capab...

Most startups don’t fail because the idea was bad. They fail because the problem didn’t matter enough to people. And because they were not able to make customer journey enjoyable. You may have heard of Customer Value Chain (CVC)

I don’t have a lot of words for this week, just feelings. A lot of them about what’s just, and not. So many of those feelings are downstream of the fact that in a just world, I would have been born a cis woman or not at all. Needing something that’s never coming is difficult, and I’ve thought on whether we can choose not to need something. An easy answer is that we can, but we have to accept a lower quality of life. Is there a complex answer? If there is, is it just cope for giving up on your...

RETHINKING DIGITAL VALUE: MICRO-ECONOMIES AND COMMUNITY-CENTRIC TOKENS in a world increasingly organizing into digital tribes and interest groups, our economic structures remain outdated - rigid systems controlled from the top that fail to capture the real value flowing through online communities. fidcoins represents a practical rethinking of how value works online - not through centralized currencies, but through community-based economies built around actual relationships and contributions. ...

In this episode, we get to explore a deeper understanding of the flow of money: how our funding structures don’t just sh...

A Kenyan artist turns his music and some photos into a claymation animation stop motion short with tools once reserved for Disney & Pixar

Feynmann said, "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."The central idea of the Negation Game is this: all the conflict in the world is due to individual dogmatic commitment to ideas. All the conflict in my world is due to my dogmatic commitment to my ideas. And the path to both peace and greater prosperity is through curiosity about how we might be wrong, and flexibility over our preferences. Of course, our existing systems of governance...

Last week, the White House published a Fact Sheet about an executive order “incorporating AI into education.” Teaching is dead. Long live the art of learning. I can deliver a lesson plan as effectively as anyone on Earth. I’ve been honored to work with a number of amazing educators who can make the same claim. But today’s learners need more than scripted, standardized content, and they most definitely need more than digital tools. Curriculum and instruction initiatives come and go every few y...

There’s something deeply therapeutic about waking up at 4:45 AM. It’s quiet. It’s just me and the morning air. No distractions. No noise. No pressure. I’ve recently started embracing early mornings as part of my routine. Running before the world wakes up has become my personal reset button — a way to clear my mind, sharpen my focus, and remind myself why I’m building onchain in the first place. Getting a workout in before the sun rises isn’t just good for my body — it’s criti...

Exploring the soundscape of commuting: How earbuds shape today's urban experience

I like thinking about new things, and so I like this recent post by Vitalik (the Ethereum crypto guy) talking about what he calls "the tree ring model of culture and politics." The basic insight of the model is the following:How a culture treats new things is a product of the attitudes and incentives prevalent in that culture at that particular time. How a culture treats old things is primarily driven by status quo bias.To explain why the world seems to work like this, he uses the analogy of ...

Welcome back to another edition of Unlocking the Future! Today, we are diving deep into the revolutionary marriage of quantum tech and UAVs. This is not sci-fi, it's real-world research and early deployments that could reshape how we communicate securely.

A) Before we start, a couple of notes. It was very interesting to put this one together. The previous issue was from last summer. Space changed drastically since. Now it feels much more flowing & seamless to navigate between different niches, markets and mediums… B) The point is, attention is shifting from digital/nft to just “art”. That’s a great achievement. Maybe we normalized nfts. The short term consequence is a huge blow in sales - ouch. But long term, it’s like running the gauntlet for...

Aaron Gordon, who is a data reporter at Bloomberg News, has been working on his coding skills. And so, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, he decided to map out the life of one of New York's Citi Bikes, specially Citi Bike #32606. The dataset is pre-pandemic because Citi Bike stopped publishing unique bike identifiers for each trip around 2020. But based on historical data and far as we know, #32606 is the most-used traditional (i.e. it's not an e-bike) ever in the history of the Citi Bike n...
