Foxes, My warmest greetings. I am glad to share the first edition of what will become regular monthly updates on the progress of Philosophical Foxes. Something I believe strongly is that there is great power in building in public. Not only does it increase accountability, but it also surfaces new ideas, and aligns a community. To that end, my goal is to make Philosophical Foxes the NFT project that builds in public most transparently and aggressively. We will share the highs and lows and chal...

Foxes, It’s good to be back with another update. As you may know, our goal is to build one of the most durably valuable NFT projects in the world and to do so in public. To that end, find another recap of wins, misses, and more. Civis vulpes sum! 🦊💭,WINSWe continue to move the project forward and undertook initiatives designed to firm up the project structure. We reached clarity on a legal plan. After talking to a number of crypto lawyers (thank you to everyone for the recs!) we have a clea...

Once upon a midnight silent, I heard a voice beyond the trees. Being young I followed, My ears twitched, The siren's song pulled me closer Promising it all. An orange haze filled the air. Something caught fire, I thought? But the scent was cool. A dark flame pricked, licked, Snickered, flickered Then in a great rush, climbed The branches of a tree to eat the leaves. Instead of devouring them, the flame transformed The leaves into bright orange flowers. Each blossom with a set of teeth Le...

Foxes, This past weekend saw us host our first ever hackathon. As you will no doubt know, the focus of our exploration was the world of ~dreams~. I am blown away by what we all came up with. Beautiful, hilarious, weird, and wonderful ideas mixed and danced together across a Miro board as dreams mixed with nightmares which became symbols and finally secrets. It is incredible to see what a creative community we have and it gives me so much optimism for the road ahead. As a reminder: the point o...

Hello Fox friends! If you’re reading this, thank you. It means you’re at least somewhat curious about this Storyteller in Residence role, the future of Philosophical Foxes, and whoever the hell I am. My actual-name-in-real-life is Tyler Riewer. I’m the Creative Director at charity: water. A husband and father. A student of storytelling. An exceptionally strong parallel parker who sometimes laughs at his own jokes (that’s real-life metadata). On Discord, you’ll better know me as Destined for F...

You have seen them too? I had begun to believe I had taken leave of my faculties. You see them, just as I do? Thoughts floating in the sky? You know, our ancestors did not see such things. All held cognition in their heads and if they wished to communicate their cerebrations, they used sound and breath and snout, as do most mammals. They spoke and sang and laughed with one another. This is how their thoughts took form. They did not hover in the air because they did not need to – no danger was...

Foxes, We are following a path of “progressive decentralization.” That term, coined by Jesse Walden, notes the practice of starting with a more centralized structure and slowly handing more and more power to the community over time. The benefits of this approach are that it allows a centralized group to move quickly at first, ensuring core infrastructure is robust and that a genuine community is being built. As maturation occurs, the project reaps the benefits of true decentralization. What d...

Today, we’re sharing the very first edition of Philosophical Foxes’ national flag. Take a look at its beauty.HOW DID THIS START?The Foxes flag emerged gradually from a playful process within the community of collaborative narrative building. Our Foxes community is built around Seven Maxims, our core values.

Here are the Seven Maxims of Philosophical Foxes. These are the values with which we chose to play, build, experiment, create, and tell stories together. They were created by our community.
