Love it. Excited to watch the recording of your talk. I agree that FC is a scenius, and I've saved some quotes from your essay for future use. ;) I first heard about scenius in a talk on UBI from Brian Eno (big fan of ambient music), and it's great to see the concept proliferating in this context. Excellent work. 💜
Thx @derekgtaylor for keeping me caffeinated. Thx @nounishprof for your passion around everything nounish. I'm a nouner and I'm not even 10% as engaged as you are. Thx @adrienne for introducing all of us to the concept of scenius. Thx to the organizers, presenters and all attendees for an energetic and engaging time.
I returned from my trip to Boston fully energized, despite my lack of sleep. Farcaster, Purple, the community is just built different. Thank you all for a great time and for being part of the scenius. @dwr - I didn't say hi since your time was a scarce resource and I focused on the rest of the community. Next time.
Will be away for 2-weeks digesting all of the amazing feedback I have received at FarCon. Absolutely love this community! See you in the other side Scenius.
The main points of my short talk: -how to recognize a scenius -no one is in charge, don't expect to get permission or an invitation to participate -if you are lucky enough to find a scenius, you must contribute! It doesn't matter your skill. Find a way - if you can't code, blog and cast! @ccarella
Such a good rabbit hole. I could only make the connection because I learned about scenius a few years ago from another community I'm involved with. The organizer talks about scenius in every event's opening remarks and it never gets old. My presentation was heavily influenced by his but I think that's OK
I did not see @adrienne’s presentation but I saw the cliff notes on Warp and then went down the rabbit hole of learning about Scenius myself and love that she made this connection.
Can't get @adrienne's presentation on scenius out of my head this weekend!
Sweet photo! Even though I wasn't there IRL, it's obvious from the photos and comments how much time, care, and "scenius labor" they put into FarCon.

woke up this morning thinking about: - pooled capital, shared upside - funding digital public goods - protocols as primitives that clients can use - scenius what else do you have?
+1. Had no idea what scenius meant. After reading that I agree that Farcaster is a form of scenius
My thesis is farcaster looks like an exclusive club from the outside. When I joined it did seem like everyone knew each other and was in on the same joke. But in reality I believe farcaster is a scenius, a group of creatives loosely organized around a common purpose and shared values, anyone can contribute.
Decided to write about Farcaster as the ultimate scenius. 💜💜 Taking my own advice and publishing before I think it’s good enough. Would love to hear what you think https://adrienneshulman.medium.com/the-power-of-scenius-farcaster-and-the-collective-genius-of-communities-244f018a8767
