Based Community Building 102 🔵

At @base we embrace Radical Kindness in our direct community communications, especially in the times of conflict.

(Radical Kindness may mean different things to different people, but this is a specific method I’ve developed over the years—drawing from years of community work, studies in mental health first aid, parenting, and some FBI hostage negotiation methods!)

Based Community Building 103 🔵

Chapter 1: History

I’ve mentioned that my background is highly unconventional compared to many in our industry and my position didn’t even exist at @base when I was hired. I’m a trained archaeologist and a professional ceramic sculptor. So, I’m often asked how I fell in love with the Based Builder community and dedicated my life to building the global onchain economy with them.

It all makes sense when viewed from my perspective which is shaped by my insights as an archaeologist, years of studying how societies evolve, adapt, and innovate over time. Studying ancient civilizations reveals one consistent truth: societies that fail to adapt to new paradigms collapse under their own rigidity. As Lao Tzu said, “The hard and stiff will be broken, the soft and supple will prevail.”

I’m honored to have participated in two events organized by you, in Austin and Thailand. Both experiences were amazing—thoughtful and super warm. ❤️
