Yep. I'm here daily and I genuinely love this place, but still, my attention is already near capacity for other reasons. So I just read/respond when I can, and remind myself that the FC scenius will do the rest. :)
Thanks to the FC scenius for this whole thread, which... well, like I said: only on Farcaster. I'm currently updating my professional info for potential new client intake. The open source web3 editorial wiki is a long term project. I'll have more news soon on both counts. https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0xb0e174
Scenius at work, I suppose. Wasn't expecting that kind of response. Only on Farcaster. But yes, it's nice to see this kind of interest in editorial consulting services in web3. Bring it on! I'll have openings for new clients soon, and if I'm unavailable I may be able to refer the work to another editor.
That list, or at least a subset of it (depends on how things go with the rest of the scenius!), covers what I'll be writing about for this whole "incubation" essay series. Looking forward to sharing more of my work here, and reading more of yours too.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your contribution to the FC scenius also. I'm working on the second essay in this series. I'm also investigating options for releasing it as an NFT, so it may take awhile before it's ready for release. Lots to learn. Which things are you wanting to read more about...?
wow this is amazing. thank you for cultivating the scenius here, you are the essence of farcaster I want to read about all these things
Nice! @foxwizard is much more well-versed in generative art than I, but in any case I'm always glad to read monologues like this on pattern languages. Especially when they're also prompted by the Farcaster "scenius."
Can I see it anywhere? No preview popping up on polyscan and I can’t see it on your open sea I just stalked. 😅 Dig the scenius tho
Good question. Depends on your talents and interests, and how they fit into the "scenius context" of FC. One suggestion: keep writing. You have lots of fascinating ideas, and FC is full of smart people that can help refine them.
@adrienne this book is about perhaps one of the first documented scenius events in human history
Scenius: the collective form of genius 🧠🧠🧠 most advances in science, art and culture don't come from lone geniuses but emerge from the collective intelligence and creativity of a whole scene 💡💡💡
Awesome to see all the new artists on FC! I'm cooking up a community project with @cameron expanding on the 🧠💭 around scenius kick started by @adrienne If you're interested in being part of a cocreated piece drop a comment - if you're a visual artist include a 🖼️
👀👀👀 Thank you so much 🥲 FC Scenius canon sounds like an excellent repository 😮💨
Great read for both new and seasoned casters! Love the title + subtitle. I agree completely about how nice the vibe is here (and how rare). I'd call this essay essential lore of the sort that belongs in a quick-find location for easy access. I've bookmarked it. Would make a nice addition to the FC scenius canon too.
gm If you’re new here, returning, or just someone who wants to get more out of Farcaster, I put a lot of heart into this essay. No growth hacks or schemes. Just real thoughts on how to express to the community that you’re here to be part of the Scenius 🫡 https://www.wysr.xyz/p/fast-rope-into-farcaster
I feel like we need to find the ‘creating new things, optimistic, and civil’ people who are interested in other blockchains. Then we’d really get the scenius pumping! I think the former is the important bit vs being Eth specific. Is for me anyway. The eth community here feels quite diff to the Twitter version
Honestly, I’m not worried at all about the scenius vibes. The community has rewarded pro-social behavior for the entire year I’ve been here. FarCon and everything else I think has shown it’ll take more than a few noisy PFPs to change how great everyone treats each other here 🫡
Earnestness, I feel, lands you in a tender sweet spot of vulnerable generosity. However, it's delicate game theory. Walking into a knife fight in a naive manner ain't smart either, and so the great risk is that when the neighbourhood goes to seed, the rich "scenius" positive behavior will be the first casualty.
That's very kind. Thank you so much! Glad to be of service to the FC scenius. There's more on the way, assuming the rest of my life cooperates with my writing ambitions. 😀
Can there be a scenius without a social graph? I'd argue yes, and they are basically orthogonal.
Thanks again for all the lovely comments on my Scenius Incubation essay. I think my fav line in the whole piece is: "an abundance of Zorb-minting glee" Might say this every single time I mint a Zorb-related NFT henceforth.
