So, conventionally, this is about the time I'd start a podcast.
But I prefer bold experiments so I've been chasing partners and people all summer to try something that has never been done before
What is that?
2/ This fall, with the help and forebearance of the teams at @unicmetaverse and @oncyber, and the most amazing roster of guests and instructors, a team of us are going to try to run a university course 100% on-chain and in @OM100m.
What does this mean "on-chain?"
3/ What it means is that someone will be able to enroll in, attend the course, attend the lectures, graduate from the course and do it 100% with NFTs as the database of record (no centralized database).
It is hard to do!
4/ Let me get the basics out first because @unicmetaverse already tweeted them and then come back to the "what does on-chain mean"
32/ Also, I am still thinking about some additional guest lecturers.
I need to sleep on it for a day or two but we have some small gaps still - I am going to send some DMs and if by next week I am not fully satisfied I am going to ask for community help.

So I was looking at Dali editions in my inbox and I realized how totally and utterly ruined I am by NFTs.
This one is kindof elegant, though not super-Daliesque.
In any case: 1.1 ETH for a 1/250 Dali Edition. Sounds fine tbh.
2/ If this was just "click a few buttons on Rabby", I think it would already be sitting in the 6529 Museum SAFE.
Instead: "email gallery, wait for reply, fill out credit card form, have it shipped to Europe, customs, delivery, probably reframe, find a place on wall"
3/ And "find a place on the wall" is an issue because the walls are already all full.
And I worry even for the things already on the wall about "am I ruining the pieces there with UV light?" and "should I have some type of cover?"
I want to try to avoid topics I have covered before better in "Survive," so I just want to share a thought that I find to be helpful to me and to others
1/ On The Time Is Now to get your personal act together
A mini-thread, views loosely held.
If you are like me, you may do a good job in your professional life but there are quite a few things outstanding in your personal life.
2/ The type of things that I am talking about are the things that appear on Jan 1 every year.
You are sitting on the couch the day after New Year's Eve and are like "I absolutely am going to get this stuff dealt with this year" and they end up on the resolutions list
3/ The type of things that I am talking about are the things that are on the Jan 1 resolutions list year after year.
They are important but not critical items. They are the nagging items.
The ones that are not quite urgent and not quite important but just irritating.
You think you are unique, I think I'm unique, but probably we are agents in a biological system, sent out to do a job for the collective.
You can probably guess how people describe me at "work" - forward-thinking, open to new ideas, not afraid of change
2/ This is also how I think about myself.
In both my personal and professional life, I think I live 3 to 15 years "in the future" vs my peers - who themselves are statistically abnormal - highly educated white collar professionals.
OK, so what? This is no surprise.
3/ When I was in college, our career service had us take the Myers-Briggs test.
It is a personality test - like all of these, it is a bit science and a bit astrology.
Anyway, at age 20, I clearly tested "ENTP"
I was a kid - got good grades - but also was drunk every weekend
