The #NFTCommunity has pioneered a definitive paradoxical line in the sand when it comes to #authenticity. One could argue that the technology of #NFTs is the “ne plus ultra” of #authenticity, so much so that #derivative projects can be sold as #authentic. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

It has become apparent to me that the #NFTCommunity is in danger of becoming the #centralized finance they wish to defy...“#Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the #universe.” #AlanWatts #NFTPhilosophy

@AoTJewels If only the ending was 1/10th as good as the fan art ...

“Whatever has #value in our world now does not have #value in itself, according to its #nature - #nature is always #value-less, but has been given #value at some time, as a present - and it was #we who gave and bestowed it.” #Nietzsche #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

“Being #cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization...” #Zappa would tell the #NFTCommunity that being #cynical isn’t a disease, it’s psychological #freedom from the inane bullsh*t “influencers” peddle to users to build their own #brand. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

@garyvee Being a cynic is akin to being a realist in the modern era. Have you ever thought that someone only had their self interests in mind? Congratulations you are cynic. Doing anything “blindly” is foolish, but the disease isn’t cynicism, it’s ignorance/stupidity.

About unspoken #addictions within the #NFTCommunity; Potential multipliers for “flippers” can actually form as #idealistic odds in the minds of an #addict. #Jung said “#addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or #idealism.” #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

“The #skepticism and #cynicism...I think it’s partly due to this thing I call #banalisation...due to the #refusal and the fear of dealing with #complexity.” I think #Rick would not be surprised at the general population’s reaction to the #NFTCommunity. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

From #Pirsig...”if a #revolution destroys a #system...but the patterns of thought that #produced (it) stay intact, then those #patterns will repeat themselves.” In many ways #DeFi & #NFTCommunity have revolted, yet continue to mimic that which they oppose. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

“Every #revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of #reaction...: (1) It's completely impossible. (2) It's possible, but it's not worth doing. (3) I said it was a good idea all along.” That very #pertinent quote comes from the brilliant #ArthurCClarke. #NFTPhilosophy

@TheJMBC There will always be some level of #sophistry afoot.

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#Plato distinguished two types of image #copying; that of #likeness (dimensionally proportional) and #appearance (disproportionate based on perspective). In acts of #sophistry, some #derivative #NFT projects successfully copy their originals in #appearance only. #NFTPhilosophy

[MatheMagician | Fantom @FourierNFT]

Is mathematics invented or discovered?

#Math #NFTs

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

@FourierNFT The ancient Greeks thought they discovered the music of the spheres and music is quite naturally mathematic, so I my vote says discovered.

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#UGKrishnamurti once said, “The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.” #Blockchain & #NFTs can offer #freedom from centralized power, something we may be too afraid to lose. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#Heidegger theorized that the essence of technology is to reveal obscured #truth, as opposed to the essence of modern technology, which is to continually #enframe the #truth. #NFTs serve to reveal truths of #value while simultaneously perverting them. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#Plato distinguished two types of image #copying; that of #likeness (dimensionally proportional) and #appearance (disproportionate based on perspective). In acts of #sophistry, some #derivative #NFT projects successfully copy their originals in #appearance only. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#Huxley postulated that #democracies can’t grow in societies where power is #centralized. While the tech behind #NFTs can empower #decentralization, the applications of the #blockchain can still lead us into established #centralization. The choice is ours. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#Camus, in his #philosophy of the #absurd argued that when one embraces the #absurd, then one is #free from the let-downs of #absurd expectations. Many users abandon the #NFTCommunity because of their #absurd expectations, instead of embracing the #absurdity. #NFTPhilosophy

[NFT Philosophy @nftphilosophy]

#Schopenhauer argued that a human’s life was constantly somewhere between a state of severe #boredom and intense #desire. From a certain perspective, one can say that this has been the genesis of #NFTs. #NFTPhilosophy
