My hardcopy of Antimemetics arrived in the mail yesterday. It's a short volume (~150 pp). I read it cover-to-cover in 4 hours. I found it thought-provoking and enjoyable. My fav chapter: "We Are Our Attention." Here's a quote that reminds me of Farcaster at its best: "Instead of trying to engineer a perfect hierarchy of attention, we should aim to cultivate a "biodiverse" information ecosystem that thrives on a multitude of interests pursued by each of its members. In biology, ecosystems with greater biodiversity are more resilient to shocks and better equipped to adapt to changing conditions. Similarly, a healthy network benefits from having many different nodes pursuing what each finds most meaningful or compelling. Not every gatekeeper will uncover a transformative idea, but the sheer diversity of approaches increases the likelihood that someone will. A decentralized network of curious minds makes the information ecosystem stronger, more adaptive, and more likely to produce ideas that take off." (pp. 110-111)
