further observations civilization has progressed from granaries to treasuries to libraries. now, a complete backup in magnetic medium is trivial, and analog medium is possible (e.g. https://gitlab.com/ks_found/zwibook). geometric progression makes sense, as does vesting, so are there any good examples of this combo? XP progression is one-dimensional, whereas global achievements are fungibly memetic. again, are there any good examples of this combo leading to equipment? crypto has progressed through the hype cycles of forks, then offerings, then collectibles, but since we can realize registries of collectibles that are collectors themselves, are there any good examples of NPC offerings and forks? furthermore, if NPCs depend on provision of commoditized capabilities, are there any good examples of NPCs that earn "their keep", i.e. autonomous credit, upon immutable orchestrators of such capabilities? company DATs are (un)sustainable like company towns, but is there a subsistent model for humanitarian DATs?

a few observations like2tip is directionally correct, best fundraising extension of that is "give this preview enough likes to drop the full feature" "socratic seminar with grok" otherwise known as that directionally correct thing I was doing with @askgina.eth, is aligned to the idea that all social is storytelling. now, @neynar generates images in dialogue, grok modifies images transgressively, and I assume other AI like @imgn will catch onto the recent Current Geopolitics Anime trend, with a race beyond the uncanny valley. now, it would be neat if any point of disagreement on social was trivial to deploy as prediction market, or /someone-build into a NO bounty for YES agents, but this doesn't feel like it would work as a zero-sum market. Bitcoin's geometric progression makes sense as high risk/reward for a civilization-scale adoption, but a storytelling enterprise (unfortunately) is better suited by royalties and percentage of "box office gross". this is probably where farcaster has the most options, imho. not sure where this is headed, but I imagine that recasting is more speculative than liking, and liking is more superficially transgressive. "socratic editing floor with the entire agora" is a vibe. more tokenomics should be as aspirational on decades-long timeframe as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and social needs to get back to authentic storytelling that can break the Internet better than raw traumatic events.
