scenius
@nounishprof
I've been revisiting the scenius concept since @rish included it in his cast about the acquisition. I had never heard of this concept until FarCon the Beta when @adrienne talked about it. Just revisited her Medium post on The Power of Scenius: Farcaster and the Collective Genius of Communities and I think this part really sums it up:
"Farcaster is full of creative geniuses, loosely organized around a common vision for a decentralized social network, bound by common values such as candor, intellect, curiosity, and truth. It is the ultimate scenius. And if it stays this way, it will unleash more innovation and inventions than can be imagined today."
I think this still holds and I'm optimistic that we can see a scenius expansion as more "idea guys/gals" have a chance to build with tools like Neynar studio and other ai innovations. (yes, my mini app arc is just starting) I think we started to lose that vibe a bit with the heavy trading meta but I see builders starting to get excited again. Let's build y'all!

Study scenius and follow this evergreen advice:
When you stumble into a scenius: find a way to contribute

Scenius feature spotted 👀
When you're working within a scene, mistakes are overlooked and forgiven quickly. Others in the scene know that in order to push boundaries, things can't be perfect. Renegade candle makers are protected by a buffer zone.

Permissionless is the essence of scenius
The only way to infiltrate a scene is to contribute
There’s no buying your way in. It’s not about who you know. It’s about what you bring to the scene

Great lightning talk from @adrienne about whether or not Farcaster is still a scenius.
