Moving OnchainSycophancy Is a Death Spiral – and America’s in It
When leaders demand total loyalty and surround themselves with flatterers, disaster follows. Every time. It’s not a question of if—it’s a question of when.

We perceive Higher as a movement that rises above division, fear, and hate. If hate represents the lowest expression of humanity, then aiming higher is about choosing connection, empathy, and creativity.

tl;dr - We have way more in common than the demagogues would like you to believe. Come and help our dataset: https://www.musicto.com/what-are-you-afraid-of-and-why/
28 days ago my /firstdraft entry was two emails that I wrote to reposition the musicto community as a purpose driven organization. With enthusiastic support we became a community that organized around the idea that music makes the world better.
In a collective effort to tackle the rise of hate - we wanted to see if our global community had more in common than just our love of music. Reckoning that hate often comes from fear, we wondered what we would learn if we asked people about their fears
Running for just over a week, we are generating around 15 responses a day. We are in the process of changing our front page and implementing a referral program with a target of hitting 1k responses by the end of April and - if we can get some momentum - 10k responses by the end of May.
We'll use AI to analyze the results and create a publication through Metalabel with an intent to change the conversation around hate.
If you think this sounds cool - please go answer the question: https://www.musicto.com/what-are-you-afraid-of-and-why/. You can answer anonymously and in your own language - the only identifying data we ask to collect are: what generation are you and what continent you live on - that's it.
Some Early Trends
100 responses is statistically underpowered for sure - but did you know Gen X appears more reflective of broad societal concerns, whereas Millennials wrestle with legacy and the pressure of time? Or that Africa and North America lean into digital and creative anxieties, reflecting a hyper-digital age, whereas Europe presents a mix of existential dread and specific societal critiques?
And while the top level trends are already insightful - it's the personal stories that are blowing me away. I can't wait to share them with the world.
