NIKE—took from name of a god—performed legal theater distancing itself from deviant ART—lest its offended religious buyers protest

I’m w/@mschf

Heresy only exists in relation to doctrine—who’s Nike to censor Satan & not Jesus shoe?

Better To Reign In Hell
Than Serve In Heaven
2/ Soundtrack to listen to while reading the reply

#1: Tool—Opiate
3/ #2
Perfect Circle—Judith
4/ One of my absolute faves

Tool—10,000 Days

1/ Back NYC 🗽today.

Capital goes where it's welcome + stays where it's well treated. Talent + cash alike.

The MIA momentum is more a diagonal shift SF ↘️ MIA and less NYC ⬇️ MIA (already fast to fly in/out and many do for winters + spring break).

MIA is NY's LA...
2/ These folks + many more are motivated to and already have viral momentum making Miami a thing.

There will surely soon be a MIA type competitive coveted SXSW annual event that will bring tech x music x food x art x culture together...
3/ Those without attachments (family or kids in schools with close friends) or very young kids not yet in school or those with enormous income (fund managers tax haven) will relocate EASILY.

New schools will surely launch and build up to try to be more competitive...

1/ GAME CHANGER.

Many spare PARTS can be freed from physical inventory and working capital x cash-conversion cycle —if they are merely digital files with 24/7 on-demand printing, shipping, delivery handled by Lux family co @shapeways

a few varied examples...
2/ From flexible nylon to hard plastic to metal...
3/ And from the PRACTICAL...

(democratizing access to ANYONE in the world wishing to design + make + ship products)...

1/ FASCINATED by diversity + tribal evolution of (order > family > genus > species) factions of ‘crypto community’—much harder to predict human behavior than clear directional trend of crypto adoption.

-monetary renegades (tea party/libertarian/dont tread on me) like below
2/

CODERS
i most admire the math/code/computer sci enthusiasts
MATH over MEMES
Quieter in their confidence of empirically provable superior construct

TRANSACTION Trusters
promote network + its properties over any currency

SPECULATORS
wont bite the hand that fed em well
3/
PROMOTERS/RELIGION
rally crowds + pump +induce newbies in using tribal tactics + external shame + insults - explicitly laid out in great youtube talk

FANS/GROUPIES
excited to be part of something new + thrilling have found friends, connection, community + meaning in movement

1/ IDEA

wealthy art collectors collect to signal wealth (to peers)

yet subject themselves to criticism (from masses) for spending their cash seeking to futilely possess impermanent status by possessing something RARE and permanent (masquerading as something sublime)

NFTs...
2/ With NFTs...

why not turn philanthropy into scalably signal art
(sounds gross + objectifying but no more or less absurd than some NFTs themself)

SELL: unique NFT per photo of every human helped/aided/treated

*thus displaying + turning act of benevolence to art asset*

Go Do
3/ It could be @JRart NFT'd but every image of every person has to be bid for in auction, with ALL the money going to specific need of the subject depicted by JR

1/ SOME NEWS...

11+ yrs ago I helped cofound + became Chair of
Coney Island Prep Public Charter School aka @CiPrep

I felt kids not born into wealth or privilege needed a few things:
-the right heroes
-a deep desire to learn
-high expectations
-no excuses

TODAY the scholars—
2/ Built by @jacobmnookin + run by Leslie-Bernard Joseph (our founding Dean, now CEO!)...

TODAY...our scholars did it again.

💯% ACCEPTED into college (many will be the first to attend)

Meet a few faces of Class of 2025...
3/ 100% acceptance to college! 🤯📈

What these scholars + their families have had to endure and the disproportionate loss experienced thru this COVID past. May they only have disproportionate gains thru a promising future....
