i think that if we managed to detach from the influence metrics have on us, our work would be much, much better. no matter how little we claim to care about them, even the smallest thought we give them bends the work one way or another🌹

i'm being pushed to post on platforms like tiktok and instagram, even though they don't fit the kind of work i make. i love expressing my message far more through writing than video. but if i don't, the chance of people finding my work is lower than ever, and i hate that.🌹

this is the fountain pen i used to write all the handwritten text in my zine. i chose handwriting because one of the purposes of this zine is to make people feel something again. in my life, the deepest feelings i’ve ever had were sparked by a human being. so i tried to find any way possible to get as close as i can to the person holding the zine.🌹 https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/7jBbdTnrQJpO/the-hidden-i

what if everything we're being force fed right now actually leads to a human renaissance which i would make us discover what it means to be human again? gm🌹

i think we are living in two different worlds at the same time (may be even more though) i am looking at my home and i see that i am the only one who is so concerned or aware of ai, decentralization, blockchain and all the other technological advancements that have been happening for some time now. then i am looking at my father and my sister. they are aware of ai but don't pay much attention. they are using chatgpt (my sister more, my father rarely) and they always come to me telling me how amazing it is. my father always asks me more questions about it. what exists now, what can be done with it, what are the risks and so on. i tell him what i know based on my knowledge, he interprets it and we have a beautiful convo. he's also aware of web3, asking me about what's going on with crypto/nfts. he was so curious about them since 2021 when i discovered nfts and all i talked about was the blockchain. he knows that it's useful, but not that useful to care that much about it apparently. and then i have my grandmother and my other relatives who are not aware of these things at all. they know of ai, but only the term. my grandmother calls chatgpt "satan" (my sister looks for answers on it to some of her questions and she tells my grandma that a robot has done that thing for her). even if i look at my friends. they are aware of ai and they ask me about it. they question how a thing was created, or where this ai thing goes and so on. but they are not using it and they have no idea about agents and the other stuff that's so hyped right now. and thus i believe we are living in a world obsessed with tech and one that is not aware of these things, that keeps living their lives without involving any of these technologies in them the way we do it and i have moments when i genuinely wish i could forget about the ai & algorithm driven world i am living in now but at the same time i don’t want to live this world behind now that i finally understood it’s impact on myself and start figuring out how to properly navigate it🌹

the fact that i got to play outside, ride a bike, spend my summers at my grandma's place, play with chickens and football all day long is worth more to me than anything I see today with 14, 15 year olds building businesses and creating content to raise money. in a way i genuinely love what they are doing and part of me wishes i had started earlier. but i hope they don't forget that they're still children. because if i look back, no amount of money could have bought what i had🌹

i hate to be insistent about something, but i also know that if i’m not, what i want to say just gets swallowed by the feed as nothing really lasts anymore on these platforms. so here i am again, reminding you that i’ve released a zine called “a protest against not feeling anything”. it's purpose is to make us feel something again because i genuinely believe the platforms we spend most of our time on are designed to make us feel nothing and everything at the same time (which is the same thing as feeling nothing).🌹 https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/7jBbdTnrQJpO/the-hidden-i

i do think that among the many “moats” everyone is talking about right now, one of them should be intentionality. if we don’t do a specific thing intentionally (consuming/creating) then even the strongest moat might just become a wall that keeps us doing more of the same.🌹

my zine is officially live, and you can now physically collect it through the mini-app below. it’s something i’ve dedicated the past months to, and i’m really proud of how it turned out. i wouldn’t have done it any other way. inside the mini-app you’ll find more glimpses of the zine as well as a short note about it, but holding it in your hands is what will reveal the whole experience. thank you so much for all your support. if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or in dms.🌹 https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/7jBbdTnrQJpO/the-hidden-i

so today is an important day for me. around 8:30 pm eet, i’m going to make my zine available for collection on farcaster. the entire process will happen inside farcaster through a mini app. it’s the first time i’m launching a zine, and the first time i’ve built a mini app myself. it’s a first in many ways, and i’m excited to see how this small, physical piece of mine is going to resonate with you!!🌹

i think the internet used to be better because not niching down was welcomed. everyone was free to do whatever they wanted, and the multitude of their interests was the reason you followed them. now everything is about niching down, about being “known” for one specific thing, and that limits us so much we end up molded by the algorithm instead of molding the algorithm around ourselves.🌹

being kind is one of the most important things we can do these days. the algorithm teaches us to always be in competition with others, to not really care about them, because if we care we might not get the metrics we want. kindness feels like a way of refusing that lesson the algorithm is trying to teach us.🌹

long form writing is one of the things more of us should do, even if we don’t consider ourselves a writer. i don’t, for example. i write long form because it helps my mind understand something better on the inside, and also learn more about it on the outside which happens through research, notes, and small details i’d definitely not consider. and i’m sharing my writings because others might resonate with them too (and some, to my surprise, actually do).🌹

i got the zine in my hands yesterday and it looks exactly as i envisioned it. the quality of the pages is amazing. holding it, turning the pages, seeing my words and artworks printed, it gave me a feeling i can’t really put into words. i’ll make it available for purchase on farcaster in the next days through a mini-app. if you want early access to it, let me know and i’ll send you a link where it can be “collected”. so, so excited!!!🌹
