I was just about to share the same link and SN showed me you'd already posted it.
I expected this article to be clickbait bs, but it was actually a pretty fascinating read!
Badass bro - I just reread your yoga guide yesterday, what a coincidence -- I gotta do more pushups and meditation
This is really great news!
I grew up on a farm and my dad would pay me $5 an hour to weed since I was a young kid.
It's incredibly labor intensive and to this day my 70 something father spends a good chunk of his time out there doing weed control in one form or another.
People forget how big of a deal our food supply is, how fragile the production systems are. Right now industrial ag is basically a machine for turning diesel fuel into human consumable calories, and the efficiency is 10:1 - so it takes 10 calories of fuel for 1 calorie of food on our plate.
This is some of the best news I've seen in a while, thank you 👍
If it's a rev share situation you're right 50 is probably too many. I personally don't care much about being a territory owner but just think some particular new ones should exist, so the 50-100 is better suited to that model where basically SN would own it and stackers contribute just because the territory seems like it should be part of the mix.
Thank you, it's great to see that! The "partially funded mutual territories" proposal looks a little different than what I pictured, but pretty close.
Yeah I see the issue with funding if it's just an open zap to donate function. Not sure how that was envisioned to work but if a territory becomes fully funded maybe the donate/ crowdfund function would be disabled?
I'm sure there are lots of challenges with this I didn't even consider.. the proposal also mentions "unregistered security" issue if the sat income is shared, I didn't even think about that but seems like an obvious problem now.
I like the model where it's just a trustless community fundraiser and the sat income just goes to rewards pool.
Yeah I figured it's a ways out, if ever, but wanted to plant or water the seed. Looks like something similar is already a formal feature request in guthub as posted in the comment here by @supratic
Very nice. Thanks for this post.
I think when people get hung up thinking money is bad, it's really, as you've said, "greed" or addiction to money. (Maybe that's really an addiction to power?)
What you wrote reminded me of a section from one Steven Pressfield's books, Turning Pro:
Addicted to money
The real utility of money is its convenience as a medium of exchange. If you and I have a goat in Smyrna, we don't have to carry the poor beast in our arms all the way to Aleppo to trade it for a carpet. We can sell the goat in Smyrna, stash a silver daric in our pocket, then take the daric to Aleppo to buy the carpet.
But when we're addicted to money, we become hooked on the metaphor. Is money how we keep score? Is it magic? Is wealth a currency that opens doors, realizes possibilities, produces transcendence? Money is second only to sex in the richness of its metaphor. But, as in the case of carnality, our real object is the currency of our own hearts. (The same premise applies to power, fame, and all other external expressions of potency.) What you and I are really seeking is our own voice, our own truth, our own authenticity.
Thanks so much for that photo! Brings back a lot of memories, damn. I never made it to Punta Hermosa but I think if / when I move back I might try and set up a base there and see what it's like. I agree Peru has so much to offer!
Bookmarked! You're displaying that wisdom thing here.
I've never thought of wisdom requiring action before, but I like that idea a lot. Otherwise what's the point right? The final step of action is a cure for the loneliness and isolation. It's almost like, you can keep accumulating understanding, but if it stays bottled up, it can weigh you down. And you just hoard it like a grumpy dragon on his gold pile. Gotta keep the energy flowing out at some point... love this, thank you.
You and me both! I'm stilll chewing on it now, and what it means. I'm thinking one can cross a point of no return with the travel thing - "traveling" literally, and also metaphorically, maybe best to embrace it, and brace for the unique suffering it may bring too. The gifts and the costs.
Social platforms like this have a particular culture. The SN culture is hard to describe, but it's deeply embedded.
I think SN can grow much larger and retain its culture if this doesn't happen too fast. The culture will probably improve in a way because given the small pool of active participants here the viewpoints can be a bit narrow sometimes, at least easy to dominate a topic by a few people. More stackers would hopefully strengthen/diversify the dialogue and ideas.
I agree if there was some tipping point that opened the floodgates and the user base 10x'd overnight, it could become a very different place.
I think the strongest part of the culture is the anti shitcoin sentiment, we gotta keep that 😄
Highly recommend it! Problem for me is I've accumulated so many paper notes which I need to digitize at some point. To 'merge the 2 worlds'
I'm not a developer but I've been thinking about trying to create an app that could easily digitize 3x5 notecards for this purpose. Seems doable
I think what you're describing is one of THE master skills of life, honestly. Presence and awareness makes it easier to be grateful for things.
I'm not in Peru at the moment, probably should update my bio. I'll be back there though soon-ish. I've been surfing for some years before I ended up in Peru but that's one of the reasons I moved there. If you're in Lima go down to Playa Makaha any day and you'll have plenty of instructors and rentals to choose from.
Mancora in the north (fly into Talara) is lovely, it's a proper beach town with actual warm water and better waves. Lots of whales up there too this time of year. When I'm back in Peru I'll drop you a line!
You're becoming a richer and more interesting soup, picking up those cultural tics lol! I used to live in Vietnam and some of the common phrases they used there were just so perfect in context, but sort of untranslatable. I found myself accidentally blurting them out reflexively, long after I left VN, in groups where nobody would have a clue what the hell noise I just made. It was awkward sometimes!
Are you in Singapore now? I'm nearby (in KL) and might be passing through there soon, always keen to meet another Stacker in the real world
Yes and yes... but I also think Gen Z watch too much Youtube and Tiktok, they want to be influencers and that's quite literally what they are basing their vision of success on. It's the sad Occam's Razor explanation for me.
From the same survey source as the one we're discussing in this post (Morning Consult): More than half of Gen Zers think they ‘can easily make a career in influencing’
