An essay I recently wrote, Adieu Mon Amour: An Esoteric Eulogy for DeFi Summer, reminiscing on the early days of DeFi, my experiences in crypto, the dynamic between founding teams and token holders and the origins of network spirituality 🕋👯‍♀️💱 https://t.co/RBl3QOVxqM

⚡️The “DoorDash lifestyle” is an artifact of three massive structural shifts older generations don’t see because they didn’t grow up inside them. Let’s break the illusion. 1. The marginal cost of money changed for Gen Z For older adults, spending thirty dollars feels like

Pier Paolo Pasolini on the consumer fascism of seemingly democratic societies

The Black Virgin is the seal on the highest mystery. She is older than Mary, yet presides over every Marian shrine. She is Isis veiled, Inanna exiled, Shakti sovereign. She is not white because she predates light, not sexual because she transcends polarity, and not chaste

Même si je l'avais déjà montré, je me permets (de nouveau) de partager le "disque de Limons" (VIe-VIIe siècle). Il s'agit de mon objet préféré de la période mérovingienne. Découvert en Auvergne, ce chef-d'œuvre est orné d'un chrisme, d'un masque humain et de motifs zoomorphes.

1964, after dinner snuff. Mr. @Grok may we have a glorious and interesting history of this practice and where it stands in 2025? Thank you!

Cannot tell you how much I adore this clip from 1941 of women from the Western Isles of the Outer Hebrides singing as they work their Harris Tweed. It was shot by the great JACK CARDIFF.

The age of the well-versed man is gone. Once, a man had to know a little of everything….to hunt, to fix, to debate, to write, to read the sky. Now we breed specialists. Tight lanes. One certificate, one function. It isn’t that men got duller…it’s that the system carved them

I can be anything I want… you want a taste? (っ˘ڡ˘ς✿) Not everything needs to be seen by everyone. Not all transformations are tasty. Not all sngglets are burgers.

The Chateau Puivert used in the film was historically a stronghold of the Cathars, the "katharoi" (the pure ones). By 1350, around ONE MILLION were slaughtered, because their cosmology identified TWIN creator deities, of same power and importance. The King of this World was PAN.

Honestly, it's a joke how many Web 3 startups we invested in back in 2021/2022 have quietly shut down without even informing their investors. As if such a quiet rug is the acceptable practice. At least send a sorry, good bye and thank you email FFS

before the 2020s, you only had two options: 1. filter your environment through traditional institutions and interact with the blue quadrant 2. don't filter at all and interact with the statistical average (red/green quadrants) everyone justifiably preferred the former, lesser

I think the main reason you find a lot of very unhappy tech people even at the highest levels - when you're a typical employee everyone around you is making .5-2x what you are - when you start breaking out wealth goes on log scale. ppl with 10-1000x your net worth become common -
