So many people feel that way in this space —I’d say most! And I definitely need to unpack scenius but that one needs more time to ruminate. That was 🤯 and feels so connected with me starting to write! You deeply inspired me!💜

😱 ephemeral NFT channels to facilitate live discussion 🤯 I’m down. @dwr wen scenius channel?
@adrienne is on to something... "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." (link to full essay in comment)
Ah the scenius! I definitely need to unpack that!
Excellent work. Insightful, relatable, and evocative. Subscribed! Looking forward to more of your unpacking. I've been inspired by the essay contest too, which surprised me since I'm generally not too keen on competitions for creative work. I'll chalk it up to the effects of the Farcaster scenius. :)
Adding a link to Dan's thread on scenius from earlier today. I'm collecting the scenius convo links here for easy reference later. (Other links are welcome too). https://warpcast.com/dwr/0xdce21a
“If you’re lucky enough to find a post about your scenius, it’s your obligation to mint” -@adrienne
you are very welcome! Here’s some of visas thoughts on scenius: http://www.visakanv.com/blog/tag/scenius/ He’s got a lot more tweets about it too
Thank you for: 1) all the "scenius labor" you and @cameron did for FarCon, and 2) tagging an inactive caster whose writing sounds interesting. Followed!
@visakanv keep an eye on this growing scenius or even jump in from time to time
(4) “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.”
“If you are lucky enough to stumble into Farcaster, you'll realize you didn't just join a social network, you've discovered a scenius. "[…] if you find yourself lucky enough to be part of a scenius, you have an obligation to contribute.” ~ @adrienne 💜
Had a blast listening to the talk! Gotta admit, I was totally clueless about this "scenius" thing, haha!
You were one of the first to mint Farcaster as a scenius even before you knew what it was about? https://zora.co/collect/eth:0x7430118c19eebf47dfcbce372f5d27ad79488d87
I think you got enough answers by now, thanks to the power of the 🚾 I gave a lightning talk proposing Farcaster as the ultimate scenius ✨ ✨✨ Slides from the talk, recording to follow: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NlaW0gTPEGn1LCgcbvANUC8p5YBvNSWs2kMFdNKkDyk/edit?usp=sharing
And here’s a @danco original that doesn’t actually mention the word scenius but is basically talking about the same thing https://alexdanco.com/2021/03/19/how-scenes-work-with-jim-oshaughnessy/
Eno explains scenius brilliantly in this 3-min clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkD7JBspgas
@adrienne gave a great talk on this in the afternoon at FarCon, Farcaster as Scenius, in which I leaned that a scenius is the “communal form of the concept of the genius.”
"Brian Eno suggested the word to convey the extreme creativity that groups, places or "scenes" can occasionally generate. [...] "Scenius stands for the intelligence and the intuition of a whole cultural scene. It is the communal form of the concept of the genius." https://www.wired.com/2008/06/scenius-or-comm/
