I'm going to leave some thoughts, given what's unfolded in the past few months.
Firstly, congratulations to the Lens team for crossing the permissionless threshold.
I find that the current meta centers on attention & pretty much nothing else. It's great that our social feeds have actions. It's not so great that our social feeds are more saturated with call-to-action that dilutes productive signal. time will tell if actions are value-creating on the balance, or if it's more immersive value capture.
the points & tipping meta is mundane. the concept of incentivizing the pollination of a meme across all mass media is a great idea. what's not so great is that everyone is sharing the exact same meme (and it's not that interesting if you're not familiar/comfortable with the outsized reward for sharing it further). Proof of Meaningful Work, without a diverse, longtail incentive for all participants, becomes a low-dimension specification game with a side of survivorship bias.
I highly recommend this gitcoin discussion on ephemeral DAOs: <gov.gitcoin.co/t/ephemeral-daos-an-underexplored-design-space/18749>
there is an unmet demand for evolutionary complexes that are hardened against already-realized failure modes. not all DAOs have a ragequit/forking/intersubjective mechanism, even when it might benefit the overwhelming majority of DAO constituents.
In gaming news, there's been some controversy around the PSN & Helldivers 2. The decision that resolved this was Steam offering full refunds. Lesson in that.
The other ephemerality that needs to be confronted is our incentive as humans to adapt to changing circumstances. Many social networks are inundated with malicious bots & phishing attacks, web2 especially. However, it's important to note that social networks select for more sophisticated bots, not fewer bots. More humans will have prosthetic agents over time. We cannot expect a hardline anti-bot rhetoric to be futureproof, if anything, we can expect that the culture will shift as adoption grows. Both humans and bots need scale & security, and both benefit from a dynamic filter. Let a million evolutionary niches bloom.
Can't wait to see what the rest of the bull cycle brings.
testing the feed, wonder why it's acting so weird.
how's your experience, anon?
history remembers how the public that ideates and builds around a core technology.
printing press -> Reformation
ARPANET -> World Wide Web
show me the walled garden that's lasted through the centuries and their accomplishments beyond a reasonable doubt.

maybe we won't mint 10 at a time, and maybe this contest says on-chain is more timely.
but iykyk.
hello again, Lens.
I keep thinking about the possibility that onchain consumption of time and money should percolate into a general consensus to grow public goods. the Public Goods Network & Universal Impact Pool are a great development in this spirit.
after the recent API drama with Reddit and Twitter, and then the Threadiverse, I wonder what the cost is to maintain a decent enough hub for many niches that don't generalize to the same public goods.
in the end, a lot of the onchain game is pvp. a lot of pvp participants will vociferously claim otherwise. however, in this current disruptive cycle, I don't think we're rivals in a vacuum. I think there's a very significant likelihood that we'll reach consensus or find that new competition is more equipped & ruthless than we can manage, in the next few years.
