@wmp.eth also shared an interesting cast about Zora in relation to Deleuze & Guattari's ideas.

I would say it’s giving John Adam’s Wealth of Nations. Cause it empowers individuals to monetize content, hence creating wealth. Also creates communities around that profit, hence social gains. Anyways …

Zora really comes to materialize Barlow's thoughts on a digital space where creativity is sovereign, value is transparently and equitably exchanged, and the barriers between creators and their communities are dismantled.

Were you familiarized with his work by any chance @jacob?

3/ Much like the existential journey of humans, who forge their identity through choices, Zora's existence is concrete in the present, yet its essence evolves as users define and redefine its purpose through their interactions.

1/ Ok, I'll bite: I would attribute Zora's philosophical alignment to Sartre, as it empowers creators with freedom and helps tham with the creation of meaning.

Regarding the existential purpose of Zora, I echo Sartre's assertion that "Existence precedes essence." ...
