HIGHER

hb feels lindy, like it could be THE collection, great variation, lots of range that can unfold over time, in a way that feels good

and also creates references for diff wings of /higher i.e. FM and athletics and ???

super grateful for @catra and @blankspace and everyone else who has contributed

Higher is so ubiquitous in Farcaster, but zero appeal to new entrants.

That would be cool. I'm just not a fan of "create & they'll come" as it may take a long time and "make people aware", "build for people", and "speed things up a little" 🙂 

Funnily, Japan has been one of the most protectionist countries which led them to build up their very unique culture and keep it for a long time. Just in the past decades they've been opening up and I feel in the last years there's a real hype to explore them - maybe indeed due to their media hits like Anime becoming a big thing in the West (again) but then ofc people also realize the beauty of the rest of the country/culture/food.

South Korea seems to also have hit a great culture point where their own culture hit the global mainstream (k-pop, tiktok dances, beauty & fashion influencers)

I'd say the optimistic case here is that Higher is like Korea or Japan, with huge investment in media/cultural export, many people find things they love about those cultures.

Kinda like it's hard to get Austrian culture if you've never been to Austria, don't know Austrian food or Austrian people.

>> Either you create a Chinatown in other cities, you do everything to become a tourist hotspot or you export traditional products at least.
