I just voted to stay and build a techno-optimist community with the Network School Farcaster core team. We’re going to implement a Singapore-like code to ensure positive-sum behavior within this app, as distinct from the hostility of most social media. It’s an experiment in decentralized digital democracy, where everyone who’s here has freely opted in. Here’s my onchain vote for the new social smart contract: https://basescan.org/tx/0x58695b79a3a18f7853992423449b87bd8f3d2f3603c328f54e947c001b687da6

The only parasite that functionally replaces an organ. The tongue-eating louse (Cymothoa exigua) is one of the strangest and most disturbing parasites in the animal kingdom. It enters through the gills of a fish and attaches itself to the base of the tongue. It severs the blood vessels, causing the tongue to wither and fall off. Then it replaces the tongue, attaching itself to the stump and functioning like a prosthetic tongue. The fish can still eat and live normally—with the louse acting as its new tongue.

Two weeks ago, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Stage 4, metastatic, all the words you don’t want to hear. So she’s optimizing for quality of time left, not quantity. She’s the fourth person in my immediate family: son, sister, dad, mom. Add my mother-in-law and grandparents beyond that. Beyond excited for the time when cancers are detected early and treated easily.
