Infinite Care & Unbounded Attention
This piece of writing was originally published on Cent back on Dec. 18, 2018 under the title “New Governments & New Communities.” I’m re-publishing it here because the promise of proper crypto social products is again palpable, and I believe the tenets of infinite care & unbounded attention are as pertinent as ever for founders of crypto social products in particular to embody and exhibit.To form a new government requires infinite care and unbounded attention, for if the foundation is badly l...

All The New Golden Ages
The following piece of writing was originally published Nov. 4 2020 over on my old Cent page reflecting on my then half decade being a part of crypto (3 years as a builder and 2 years digging down into the rabbit hole). Honestly though, this piece feels more relevant now than ever, so I’m re-sharing it and putting it onchain."I saw a vision of us move in the dark; all that we did or dreamed of..." That quote is from The Tower Beyond Tragedy by Robinson Jeffers. What a trip. I've been ref...

There’s something about summer in the states that just feels like freedom.
Maybe it’s the warmer weather. Maybe it’s the verdant and flourishing environs.
Whatever the reason may be, to me at least, American Freedom peaks during the summer months.
This past weekend in particular I was struck with a feeling of total freedom and the immense amount of golden opportunities available to citizens of this great country at any given time.
I was so struck with this feeling that I started jotting down a running list of items and experiences I had this past weekend that embody and feel like American Freedom.
Not sure why, but the list quickly became alliterative and S-based - or should I say S-tier - which I’m sharing below:
Summer weekends
Sardines + Cider
Shrooms
Sunset drives on Sundays
Smashing Pumpkins “Here Is No Why” + 311 “Beautiful Disaster playing on loop
Short Forest Park hikes
Sudden yard-work
Super market strolls
Slices of key lime pie
