1/ Given all the NFT photography talk the last days, it might be fun to share the very much "Work-in-Progress" 6529 Photo Gallery

Unlike generative art, where my thesis is clear, I think we are in a more exploratory stage in photography

There are projects that have community and there are projects with artistic qualities and there is also just a lot of fun
24/ The other observation I have had building this gallery and spending time in it is how much fun I have had.

Imagine trying to fade this.

Image thinking that this is not a better way to share your amazing art with frens around the world

🥳🚀♥️

1/ On Living Rent-Free In Your Head

People and ideas are ferociously competing to live rent-free in your head.

For most people it is worse than that.

It is a high school rager with hundreds of people and ideas spilling beer on the sofa of your head.

Your job: face control
2/ It is impossible to live with a completely blank slate.

A functioning society is built on endless layers of abstraction on concepts and ideas.

Almost everyone, including the based contrarians, are repeating ideas that someone else propagated into their head.
3/ So let's get this out of the way first.

There will be a party in your living room of your head.

Perhaps the Buddha himself saw through the veil of ignorance, the cycle of samsara, and found nirvana, but safe to say that nobody reading this tweet has.

1/ On Buying The Statue of Liberty

I did a lecture today for @giaglis's MOOC on NFTs and I got the RCSA question.

"NFTs are just a receipt, just a pointer to an image. I can download them and view them without buying them"

A classic question! Here is what I said.
2/ Imagine the Statue of Liberty.

It is very large.
It is on Liberty Island
It was a present from BFF (France)
It is owned by the Federal Government and specifically National Park Services
Anyone can look at it, whether the President of the USA or you
3/ Now, imagine the Federal Government needed to raise money fast.

It decided to sell the Statue of Liberty on the condition that it has to remain exactly as open to the public as it is now (It is both a National Monument and UNESCO World Heritage site)

1/ On Our Bubbles

The reaction of my circles to the election:

✅tech/crypto: euphoric
✅nft artists: muted, possibly self-censoring in some cases
✅american east coast friends: upset / some women very upset
✅europeans: utterly and completely shocked/baffled
2/ You have to fight to not end up in an information bubble

This is not a "right" thing or a "left" thing; it is not an American or European thing

it is not about whatever is the "hot topic" of the day

it is about everything
3/ All information sources are incomplete and biased.

Every human is incomplete and biased, including journalists, billionaires and politicians.

An absolutely fantastic outcome for a top-tier human being is that they are great in one thing and mid in everything else.

1/ On Drowning

This afternoon, along with a stranger, I rescued an old man who got dragged pretty far out to sea by undertow in heavy surf. We swam out and brought him in.

Every single cliche about events like this turned out to be true
2/ Cliche 1: "Drowning does not look like drowning"

The old man was not flailing around or yelling. In fact, he could not even talk to us while we brought him back.

He could not speak until he was on shore with wife. "thank you, I thought I was gone out there"
3/ Infinite credit to the stranger (youngish guy) who was there with his girlfriend/wife and figured out that there was a problem.

They were the only people out of hundreds at the beach who started yelling at the lifeguard for help

1/ On Software, 3-pointers & magic

Yesterday, I revealed that my pocket money in high school came from refereeing rec league soccer

I also played a lot of pickup basketball, video games, and ping pong; ate a lot of Doritos & pizza

All-in: idyllic American suburban HS life
2/ But there were two more things:

✅ Photography (which we discussed before)

✅ "programming" or "coding" (software engineering is way too fancy a term for this).

I started, like most of us, with Logo and BASIC in grade school
3/ And then in high school, I was lucky my school had a "programming" class. I think it was mandatory.

And, I was really lucky, because it had another one you could take as an elective.

I liked the first class, so I took the elective class too.

1/ Videoconferencing Phishing (a mini thread)

A very common phishing pattern is:

✅ Offer an appealing business proposition (job, commissioned art, consulting project, investment)

✅ "Download my special videoconference software"

🚑You now have a keylogger on your PC
2/ Once the keylogger is on your PC, they can enter both your web2 accounts and your hot wallets (but note: not your hardware wallets).

Here there is a very simple rule: treat all requests of this type as a complete scam, of the same type as "enter your private key"
3/ Any legitimate inquiry will be happy to use standard videoconference software:

✅ Zoom
✅ Teams (a lot of compliance depts ban Zoom)
✅ Google Meet
✅ Amazon Chime (only AWS people)
✅ WebEx (boomers)
✅ Messaging apps (young / normal people)
