@RichardDawkins@leashless Funny how one spends a career in the intellectual spotlight, disproving God as an illusory image, only to find a low-level black-mirror-ish substitute in a freaking chatbot app.

@likevespa I have been reflecting recently on the economics and semiotics of stickers and other swag given out for free in conferences.
- Stickers hold and transmit value signals of recognition and affiliation
- They can be exchanged.
- They are "proofs of participation"
@DDDrewDaniel I had a similar dream that still haunts me. I was at a show, dimly lit underground parking, fully packed. A band trio with drums, distorted bass and saxophone was playing the grimiest stuff ever? Their name was "Crime Daggers". I am looking for that band ever since...
NFTS are not dead.
NFTS were born DEAD.
They were just an inert puppet of the crypto side that tried to pretend to be a new digital art movement disguised as Digital Online Art, leaded/manipulated by people (platforms, autoproclaimed curators and companies) that were absolutely NEVER interested on digital art until money arrived, destroying all the previous efforts, work, achievements and art of many REAL digital ONLINE artists that were pushing for this culture YEARS before nfts arrived. (Digital Art was always there, even in galleries, in museums...)
The 'shift' is ONLINE, not Digital.
Many said: Renaissance!
I was saying: Renassassination.
Personally, I tried to warn, tirelessly...
Disdain, cancellation, hate and ostracism I received from many, that curiously, nowadays I don't know where they are at all...👀
But.. Ei, still here, and with ZERO plans to stop.
Trust facts, not hypes, if you really want this to EVOLVE.
(Or keep walking in circles, but if so, do not disturb please.)
BIG and SINCERE THANKS to those who always trusted my work (even much before Cryptoart hype started), and HONEST THANKS to those who started with disdain but finally understood my approach. Truly.🙏
And no, I was NEVER accomplice, nor agree, nor support, nor abide this fake Cryptoart culture. Only me (and those who offered me 'tasty treats') know what I rejected in the backstage. (I don't forget. Maybe this is one of the reasons they disappeared).👀👍
I walk my own path, as I'm doing since YEARS before this madness started, and... surprise!
Still here, doing, saying, aiming and fighting daily for the same as >15 years ago.🧘♂️
Let's work.✊
In this recent reposting of the "crypto iceberg" by @clairekart, people have been wondering about its origin story. As the oc, I felt the duty to tell you a little bit about the story behind this mysterious artifact 🧵(0/20)
@post_polar_@clairekart Great to know! I am working on an 2024 update btw, so it would be good to have a conversation on what would need to be included.
I am also considering experimenting with the "funnel" format meme which can get even wackier.
@naval The original "left" during the times of the French Revolution was a class of merchants, nationalists and libertarians wanting to be left alone by the Royalists in Versailles.
Positions have shifted and will again. In reality things are more mixed than two neatly divided camps.
