cut are awards 'n' half in watch how the real cowboys run scurry like cock-roaches.
mainstream media (bitcoin inclusive - AHEM! - 'specially) is aimed at oblitterating individuals' ties with groups.
then you pop'em of - BAM! like fish in barrels! classic play.
true.
still i think the length here is important to its meme-ability. op talked about paring down.
How about if the payment went directly to the reader?
i sort of see where you're getting at, but im having a hard time imagining a world where this happens willingly.
readers seem to be paid by writers on sn only when they engage with what's been written, not by merely reading.
nice distillation.
i reflect on this too. its part of the reason that i encourage short(er) posts while others argue that compression culture is killing us. the truth is likely somewhere in between.
i think people, in general, search for easy wins, that's why the saying "bitcoin fixes this" is as abhorrently wrong as it is repeated.
its much easier to choose a piece of tech and say this solves all of our problems as opposed to doing the work.
i only just got around to reading this. i feel it is a meditation on the chains of urban ife, insidiously attaching themselves to Nature's ankles.

love the journal idea. it would be very fascinating to see these chronicled in this way.

its just a nym.
when i was in school i fed obsessions with the library cataloge.
i was lucky because i had access to a world class library. i would normally start with a wikipedia entry, use the footnotes to get started with basic sources--figuring out who the prominent voices/authorities are on the topic is the first thread you want to pull--if you read them and find them interesting, try figuring out who they were reading (again, using footnotes/references).
i think it's basically what happened to me with bitcoin, except that the "references" are a little more convoluted, hence the idea that it is a "rabbit hole."
