just want one tweet on the record in the archives before it happens predicting that this will have some kind of NFT wallet integrated into it (eventually) as will other platforms. the people currently making fun of NFT and crypto will use it. i am 100% confident this will happen.
i dont “correct” or seek to educate other people about this topic because i would rather it not “blow up” for as long as possible. ill just say if you’re here it might be something you want to look into and think about. if its not ur thing or scene, thats cool. i get it.
the big variable imo that im not sure about is what level of adoption actual crypto stuff will have. with NFTs it will be easy to just call them something else and put a wallet tab on instagram or twitter or FB, but actual crypto stuff might have too much of a learning curve, idk
not trying to be Galaxy Brain but using it basically requires a general functional level of intelligence that a lot of people don’t have (maybe the bottom x% of the pop., no offense). so im 50/50 on mass adoption of that. its kind of easy to see it going both ways imo.
for the average totally normal person if they have one BabyCoin and accidentally send it to a DogCoin address and its lost forever, that would probably be enough for them to be like “alright this is stupid” and then not use it. or they could hardcore training wheels it.
as we are all somewhat interested in the zeitgeist which is now integrated with tech, this will be interesting to see, imo. it would be ideal for that not to happen for as long as possible which is why i would encourage it remaining a weird internet thing for as long as possible.

the facebook - meta - metaverse video everyone has been talking about. go deeper. yes, they want you to have VR meetings. but beyond that, this is their way of both announcing and getting in front of “web 3.0” which most people are still unfamiliar with. why? ask yourself this.
im the max level of tech skeptic. i dont expect anything to work properly if it has electricity in it. never owned a microwave. dont really “believe” in artificial intelligence. however as u learn in painting + art history you are always a child of ur time and have to accept that
now that “real life” has been inextricably integrated with the internet there is a very interesting next step unfolding because “web 3.0”, the next phase of tech life, is actually characterized imo by decentralization. de-centralization. who is “the center”. is that good for them

relevant to my current endeavors is that you are deeply propagandized about this issue without realizing it. they take you into a room in high school and show you a horror film where everyone is screaming with zero context and thats the first and only time many people see birth.
also the way people talk about it. people talk to and about pregnant women as though there is something wrong with them, or, more accurately, as though they are going through a medical [pathology]. after being in this world for some time it has honestly been insane to unpack.
i would like to explore this topic with the other men here at some time but at this moment i am once again (appropriately) driving to the nearest city state for natalbaby inspection.

nagarjuna articulating the doctrine of interdependent origination in second century northern india (colorized):
if you want to sound really cool this is called sunyata by the way, but the S is a SH sound like in upanisads. basically its the idea that things are inherently empty of self nature in the specific sense that they arise as a result of other things that are external to themselves
while it is true, and i cant say what its like studying this in a proper cohesive context, ie within a lineage of esoteric buddhism, for me the missing piece is slightly platonic - in that, yes, a whale arises as a result of many other factories external to the whale. thats true
