Even though this is ostensibly a tech-dominated platform at present there are quite a few people I have encountered on Farcaster who are knowledgeable about politics, history, and even literature and philosophy.

One thing I love about the internet is that if you use it right it’s actually like a crowdsourcing tool for having millions of mini-teachers giving lessons around the clock. You could probably create a decent magazine or other publication drawing from tech people who have bases of knowledge in other fields, particularly the humanities. Any worthwhile intellectual project for public consumption is usually a team effort on some level with everyone bringing a different set of strengths.
