A few days ago, I had a dream that my 3yo son passed away.
I don't remember the circumstance, but I do remember the anger and agony I woke up with. Not a cold sweat, but a turning stomach and a clenched jaw.
Followed by a swath of relief.
My dream wasn't real.
My son was healthy, holding my hand gently in his final few moments before waking up.
For me, the emotions faded and gave way to the remainder of the day.
For far too many, however, an fear of imminent death and untimely mourning are a part of life.
This isn't an opinion piece.
I don't know what we should do. I wish I did.
All I can say, is that I hope that least here on Farcaster, as we build, trade, touch grass, and cast, we keep each other's humanity in mind.

It is one of my greatest concerns in this space, humanity. Many will not understand my approach, including myself at times. I will offend them, potentially, and that's okay. I won't be caught blindly riding the bus off the cliff of inhumanity. Can we maintain humanity in this new structure? Which seems to be, in a nutshell, socially localised micro capitalism? Or if we want to carry a more negative connotation - social micro pyramids?
That's not even touching the apps that thousands want to convince you to sink countless hours into.
Who knows? All I know is everything is for sale. It always was, but now, we have direct channels or rails as they like to say connecting some of the most desperate people in the world with some of the most controlling capatlistic mindsets ever to walk the earth.
Humanity is going to be more important than ever here. And voices for it.
I am glad it was just a dream, or nightmare, as I would call it.
But...
Dreams are windows, and you talked about humanity here - with what has been built. I share this window with you. 0 reply
