“Pro-wrestling (WWE) is the most accurate representation of life. Pro-wrestling is made up and rooted in reality. And real life is made up and rooted in reality. So wrestling is a more honest depiction of the world than everything that acts like it’s not made up.” - Rick Rubin

ideas are living things with a sense of agency. they get distributed through people, the vessels, but they are independent of people

kinda wild that we didn’t evolve out of needing sleep. surely species that didn’t need to lay unconscious for a third of their existence should’ve have higher rates of survival

this was a fascinating episode on prison culture. how messages get sent in prison, why sam should shave his head bald, how to buy a phone, why sam should share a lot of stories about famous people, how to get a care package sent to a new prisoner, whether sam can get vegan food

there’s something surprisingly freeing about being stuck in a place without much to do - an airplane without wifi, a lecture in school, a temple or church, a cabin in the middle of nowhere. feel like i have a rush of ideas in these places that i don’t normally

rituals across all religions involve a lot of movement - they make you stand, sit, chant, make your hands face the sky, place your hands over your head, walk around in a circle. this makes the experience physical and embodied so it’s imprinted in you for longer

crypto protocols are dynamic, not static. they need to be maintained, upgraded, and deployed on other chains. they need to incentivize growth, development, and integrations
the role of governance frameworks and DAOs are to help the protocol evolve as the ecosystem evolves

placebo effect, manifestation, and superstitions work quite similarly. belief affects your reality, partly through affecting your biochemistry and partly through confirmation bias

3) emergency provisions
option to override the typical 5-10 day timelock if there is an emergency and the DAO reaches a high enough quorum. this is useful fix a major bug or exploit like the beanstalk attack or compound liquidity mining bug

2) optimistic governance
a proposal passes if it is proposed by certain addresses whitelisted by governance *unless* it has a certain number of no votes. this is most useful for regular protocol maintenance and upgrades like risk parameter changes

few improvements we can make to existing on-chain governance frameworks:
1) private or shielded voting
private voting is most useful for proposals that allocate funding to groups. it’s sometimes hard for existing delegates and holders to publicly vote against a funding proposal

Fun question to see someone's original thinking:
If price is not determined by supply and demand, what are the other alternatives to measure price?

dave chappelle said, "if I had an idea, it should drive. the idea says, 'get in the car'. and I'm like, 'where am I going?'. and the idea says, 'don't worry, I'm driving'. sometimes I'm shotgun. sometimes I'm in the fucking trunk. the idea takes you where it wants to go."

some minds are fertile habitats for certain types of ideas (e.g. Mozart with musical ideas), but the ideas themselves are independent of people
most artists describe that ideas “come to them”. there's some truth to that language: they don't produce the ideas, they're the vessels

ideas are living things
they get distributed through people (the vessels) but are independent of people
just like genes, ideas evolve and have an agenda of their own. they grow, replicate, survive, and die. they inhabit certain minds that are fertile to nurture those ideas

what are the best arguments for and against private voting in DAOs?
for: less signalling so less potential for governance capture by someone powerful
against: more potential for bribes and fraud
