g m farcaster it is friday november 8th and you are here with nowdashprop and adrian for 29 minutes ish of farcaster news to start your day and i got to do a little quick little retweet because we are live now and if you are on twitter go give us a retweet there that'd be great
what's a retweet
it's a re it's like a recast but on twitter
and what's a twitter
i think some people call it x now yeah i don't do that oh lord how are you this morning my friend how's it going
it's going good it's friday we've got a long weekend it's a 3 day weekend oh we do working
yes yeah we don't here but okay
it's a yes it's a us public holiday yeah on monday so 3 day weekend i had a good day yesterday i don't know if you saw but i was coding
i did and we were gonna talk about that let's jump right into that so what were you coding my friend so this is exciting
yeah so how long have we been talking we've been making gm forecaster content for over a year and it just sits out there and we say oh there's such valuable content wouldn't it be good if we could actually access it because it's all in video form and right there has been talk about gm farcaster being a nice little time capsule of farcaster history so i gotta believe there's a way to throw a little llm on here and train it so that and turn it into a bot that people can talk to seems easy
love it seems easy how hard could it be she's about to find out so yeah this was your cast yesterday cracks knuckles step 1 downloaded transcripts from all 400 plus videos in the gm forecaster youtube channel i'm assuming that a lot of those are replays right cause i'm like we don't have do we have 400 plus like how did that happen
good question how many episodes we have under 200 i guess so
but we also have a lot of other plays
we definitely have 2 100
we have definitely well over 200 because of like farcon and east denver and all those but i think the replays must be in there too
it it must be so maybe i can filter it just for i i don't know i'll i'll
i guess it doesn't matter it probably doesn't matter because they're just training on the same things anyway so so the idea is this will be like for farcaster news like you'll be able to search it or what what are you thinking
here i would love yeah i mean just if you have questions about the history of farcaster i think it'd be really cool if you could by the way i have no idea what i'm doing i am not a developer i play 1 on tv i don't even play 1 on tv
but you used to be
and it was yeah but anyway i'm gonna i'm gonna be playing and i really what i like is we talked about oh in our culture episode on gm farcaster or farcaster 101 we talked about building in public mhmm one of the benefits of building in public is people offer help like you can ask for help from people so i have several people who've offered help and i will be
i will be taking people up on that yeah thank you
yeah they believe in you so it's going to be it's going to be interesting can't wait to see it can't wait to see it come up in some other news new pinned casts on profiles to pin a cast go to i haven't pinned anything yet i've keep forgetting about this to pin a cast go to your profile and pin from there one cast at a time warp cast only for now if it gets enough usage we'll add api to protocol live on web and mobile update to the latest mobile app so if you don't have auto updates on like me i do not make sure you go and update your that's probably why i haven't noticed it i haven't updated my app yet i did the restart but i didn't do the update so i gotta go do the update but this is pretty cool we've been asking for this for a while so this is great good to see i use pinning all the time in the channels and i do like the announcement feature i do find it quite helpful okay we're gonna have this kind of a day are we okay great
k great it's gonna be a good one i'm gonna get rid of this because maybe this will help here we go and then this was i forgot this is supposed to be at the end this is where there are election stuff i forgot but i thought it was funny underrated news from last night chair brown elizabeth warren light lost the senate race will likely see fit 21 or something similar pass either in lame duck session or in the new congress great can we have a farcaster token now so just a reminder
so there's a few other things here that'll come that'll that'll come out to play in a minute so what would the token do exactly what adrian said in the reply
king is king is hilarious so funny so funny
yeah anyway anyway that was
i cast it i casted that as well yeah in my response i said what would a token do
yeah i i remember i remember saying that that was your that was your your exact response okay so let's get into the bigger news farcaster news stuff and okay so m w m w came back to farcaster owned it to the wow channel owned this channel for many months just got yoinked l m f a o okay so reminder
channels are not decentralized
you don't own you don't own them you don't own channels that's at the end of the day and
yeah we talked we've talked about this recently but it's nice to see it keep coming up every time someone gets their channel taken away which is people have squatted when channels came out and you could buy them people did go out and buy up a bunch that were obviously squatting and yeah we've seen this with dns names we've seen it with ens names people buy things they're speculating that there will be value that someone will want to pay them for them at some point i can't i kind of can't even remember what were the names of the last channels that were taken away
like starbucks and
starbucks what was even the last controversy you see this is why i need a bot like don't amy don't make me remember what we talked about but a few weeks ago or months ago there was another example of someone losing
their channel name but the same person i remember specifically that person also owned like starbucks like they owned all the brand names too and i don't remember what the reason was that it got something got yanked but yeah or yoinked if you will
oh it was a city i think it was a city name it might have been
a maybe i think
it was a city name last time but either way that's right it's yeah it's like it's kind of like you can
oh it's pudgy pudgy penguins 2 pudgy penguins got that that happened at one point too yeah it's only got
but there's signs that you can tell so we've talked about like i might i might buy a channel and not use it yeah how do you tell if i'm squatting well what is the name is it like a name that someone else's that has some sort of trademark or that someone else might appear valuable and did i also buy 30 other ones that are also other names right like so that was my question about this one like wow to me is not an it's not an immediate brand name it's not starbucks
it's no i know so this is it's this is why this one's a little different this feels a little different so it it definitely got a lot of attention and it felt it just felt different it felt like i think i have to like get rid of some of these things so that this will load faster
we'll figure out what wow is and why it got taken away
we're gonna yeah we're gonna
get that also felt different
that's exactly why it felt different so i think this sums it up and this is the image on our cover today is this sufficiently decentralized zuora wants their channel which has now become a token on wow so new thing launched
and it was actually a while ago that this particular account started posting about a month ago and then just 2 couple days ago wow launched so wow is a token launching platform that is connected with zuora through their nft tokenization into erc 20 type of mechanic with uniswap so this finally launched it's also connected with enjoy i think like it's that team i think related to it so that was sort of the pushback on this was that oh zuora comes in and says they want their chan they want wow and therefore they get it so this does feel a little different by the way i am wearing my enjoy shirt it does feel a little different to me it's not like an obvious brand name so i don't know what do you but that it doesn't really matter because the same you know terms of service still apply
anytime you have a like people against the corporation the people people will be more sympathetic to the people right the everyday that's who you can relate to
i obviously don't have input i understand listen to dan's point of this is an account that hasn't been active on farcaster farcaster is not a cooked deal it's not at maturity it's not a platform that's fully decentralized like it is being built i think there's a little bit of that sense of like the people who are here casting every day are part of the ones building it you're in it it's changing all the time so to buy channels early on when they launch and then expect every like to expect that you own it is just a missed expectation i think
so i i i think at at appearance it looks scandalous like oh dan stole a channel but when you actually dig in it's like look we're still figuring out channels they're not part of the the protocol
protocol
they're not decentralized we've been saying this forever we don't don't spot channels if someone had bought this channel and built it into a community like
yeah
you know the day that dan takes a channel from someone who's using it
yeah
there will be riots in the streets yeah i think so and i will be leading them but yeah yeah until then
and and so that is yeah so we've got just a reminder channels are not canonical topics and channels haven't been decentralized yet i just think it's funny how often this comes up so i dropped this so jeff goldberg had casted about this with the image that i showed before i can't seem to pull it back up but it was and then this was my reply to him come on you've you've been here long enough you know so it was so that was pretty funny like that yeah we're still even though we say it all the time it's still it's still hits differently when it actually happens builders today are better than yesterday's squatters okay
and and that's related to yeah linx's yeah broadcaster requires proof of work right so if the channel was a community would dan have taken it there's no way you know probably not even this actually and i don't know if you pulled this cast but 66 owns the taco bell channel
yeah
clearly a brand name
yeah
however
i accuse 6 of being a squatter but i don't think 6 created that channel to be a squatter there's a diet coke channel as well right these are he created taco bell i think
for views i think it was a fan channel it's fan channel
yeah it's people who love taco bell
just like diet coke yeah they they it was just about taco bell and 6 is
here casting every day
i love this top is when dan takes away taco bell from me to give it to the actual company but also wouldn't that be a a great problem to have yeah that'd be a great problem to have the taco bell is actually here and wants wants their channel and you know who would be so happy as well cassie does cassie want to talk about she loves taco bell and she would love to welcome them here i'm sure yeah so i think it's you know just reminder that all of all the things that yeah there's also the username policy pragmatism versus ideology applies to f names and channel names f names are centralized for now but we offer are centralized for now in other words they only exist on war cast but we offer ens for decentralized usernames so if you use your ens then it's decentralized and can't be taken away from you plan is to decentralize channels in the coming months so i don't know if that changes things at all i would assume it does
when when i would imagine when things are decentralized that means you don't have any one person who can arbiter and take channels away
yeah
right so then then it's more you do own it then when it's when it's decentralized
i i do think it's we don't talk enough about the fact that you don't own your username
yeah that's true
because it doesn't come up because people didn't go squat a bunch of usernames and
because it costs and not rest cost a little it well channels cost more no
chat channels cost more money
cost chest cost more so that's not a good reason yeah it is well it's difficult it's easier now to log in to more than one account but it is
that's why
it's not it's not frictionless mhmm so that is why yep
by the way and that's a great example of kind of deterrence which is money is not a deterrent like people will pay money people will not pay with time like if you add friction to the process then we're not gonna create yep we're not gonna spot usernames but also yeah i think if dan started rugging people's usernames we'd talk about it more but you own your fid you own your account yep you don't own your username
yep exactly and then in related news
by the way this is a good point in terms of like channel cut like so there's a costco channel and that is a new community so what happens and this is why like things are really nuanced so if you're here all the time you totally understand dan's point of like when like how do you know the difference between a squatter or not but if you're not and you come in it's easy to
make things sound way more scandalous than they are and so
like taco bell i'm prepared to be canceled by mexico
that's just funny lowest grade meat fit for human consumption but i love it that's hilarious and there's a lot of by the way it was just going to put that up meta david too you guys are a bunch of okay alright cassie has a lot of friends
in the
taco bell channel there you go get make make it active channel you better make taco bell channel active or there'll be no token when they arrive
that's right and we're gonna start seeing accounts called you know official taco the real taco bell
the real that's exactly what's gonna happen okay in other news this so back to wow and what exactly launched from zora maybe because it's not official was this was funny so on the wow platform somebody launched zuora wants their channel back as a token with the cast so that was really funny so a lot of people are this is a very similar to like pumped up fun so for those who have been kinda not jumping into that because they're not in solana and they just didn't you know get into that particular casino this is a very similar type of platform so that's what we're seeing sort of pop off right now and there's been a few different tokens that you may see on your timeline dyor nfa all of this is incredibly risky and if you haven't played around with meme coins and you don't know what you're doing chances are you're going to lose money by the way even if you do play around with meme coins all the time chances are you're gonna lose money hi so it's it's very difficult to make it out alive so there is one particular
it's a casino
yeah it's a casino it's a casino you will lose money the house always wins where there's smoke there's fire this was from chris corella who was commissioned by smokeholders to make this piece so there you go and then they're gonna he's gonna airdrop this to the holders so there's lots of little you know things popping up if you're seeing this on your timeline you're seeing all these different tokens popping up that's probably where they're where they're happening but also again be very careful oh go ahead
where there's smoke there's fire and where there's fire there's ruin so and ash and that will be you okay bringing my full on skepticism like have fun in the casino
percent 100% like nobody's getting generational wealth out of this let me just let's be very clear so be very careful on all these tokens
and every now and then someone wins the lottery
exactly
and guess what
exactly
then you you know you know what happens to lottery winners
exactly exactly so this is from mark fishman so we're just building computers that build casinos no we're building something real no i know you are july said no we're building something real no i know you are it's true he is actually building something real and this was from light casino is how the next gen gets wealthy and builds better stuff ideally real and then they got into a discussion
but no it doesn't here's the thing though like yeah there's always the like oh there's some really cool people playing with primitives and pushing the boundaries that is the next big thing
that i really want it has value in that regard
tink yes tinker play around that's great but don't confuse that for the fucking casino and excuse me yeah i'm like yeah because they're they're different and i forget where it was i was listening to something recently it was just like talking about some podcast now i'm gonna have to pull it up and but it was like someone just talking about like what has always been true for humanity since the beginning of time and one was like humans like the gamble
yeah just think it was like they're probably doing it with rocks like you know yeah before there were dice
they're flipping a stone which we decided it's gonna land on
every time something new comes out like it's like i just i just reject the idea that people trying to turn the casino into something serious because yeah
it's not there's nothing wrong with a casino as long as you're careful and don't lose everything in it it's entertainment entertainment treat it as such treat it as such yeah
and also separate from that there's also kind of cool things to be playing around that can be built into something you know like things can come out of it like a yeah a fun little gambling way that can turn into something but i just i just have a problem with
yeah
celebrating the casino
occasionally yeah occasionally the casino leads to ethereum you know what i mean like eth actually being launched and things like that like you you could have said the same thing when eth launched just if you didn't know
at that time casino the casino doesn't turn into eth
no no no no but i mean what i'm saying is occasionally there are different tokens that have more value in the longer term even if they don't have value in the short term like even if you can't flip it for a ton of money and bitcoin there you go go just go buy some bitcoin hold it and chill it'll be fine but if you're if but also you know the casino's fun the casino's kinda fun right now
i gotta say you laughing at our time friday that yes i'm i'm laughing at our time you guys are hilarious hilarious
they are so they're on fire right now it's so fun
and actually it'd be really fun if we were all in a casino together
oh totally far con vegas let's do it let's do it love vegas okay i love vegas this from linda so this over on she's doing an experiment to expand bounty caster to twitter and she asked on orbcast for some folks who'd be willing to post a bounty on twitter so i did so this from linda over on twitter new twitter ex bounty up on bounty caster earn $10 usdc for learning about farcaster from gm farcaster by watching and giving feedback on their farcaster 101 videos so you watch any of those videos and this is open to anybody watching this right now pick 1 watch it give us some feedback or question i'll take like a good solid question and the first five that kind of meet that criteria in the bounty will earn $10 usdc and also if you are on workfast i will also tip you some degen so there you go so this is fun it's fun to see her branching out and yeah i'm excited to to see this be part of this experiment this from jacek okay so the other big thing happening yesterday there are many big things happening yesterday but i'm talking about in the in the forecaster universe
this i frustrated 1 of 9 this is a thread this is a lot
we're not gonna read
the whole way to say
he had a lot to say there's also a paragraph post so you can read it that way as well and the post is titled a frustrated migration so i'm just gonna read this first one g m degens after careful consideration because it affects you most of all we've decided to share with the community the difficulties we've been facing in migrating dgen l3 to a new service provider which was which has delayed some exciting features and this goes on to kind of explain everything that happened with conduit they are pushing back a little bit on some of these facts and have a little different perspective
so anyway this if you remember there were some issues a while back i think it was back in august over the summer with the dgen l3 ever since then they haven't gotten everything fixed and there's an explanation of the reasons here so hopefully this will help them solve that little problem they're having and hopefully conduit does what they need to do and they can get this figured out but i was feeling bad for yossick he seemed very very frustrated about this also
we did launch the episode of the hub the second episode was on tuesday we live streamed it and the recording is out now so anywhere you get jamfarcaster you'll find it there it also has its own playlist on spotify if you want to just follow that one and this is our new developer podcast so gm farcaster but for devs i love that i love the meme check out the latest broadcaster developer pod the hub episode 2 hosted by dilstech with guest host kevin o'connell is out now so go check that out i was sitting in in the production studio while they were doing their thing and it was a really good really good show and i love what dylan's doing he's he's a great host so he's got
a natural he's yeah
so that's good great thank you well i don't know if he's that good
very comfortable pulling those links and yapping and
yeah he's doing he's did great he did great he's got a great perspective i mean he's like you know they're they're like pulling up code like during the show and stuff it's really it's pretty fun so if you're a dev that's gonna be a great show for
you to check out so so i listened to to it yesterday because i was unavailable on tuesday at the time he was podcasting because i had parent teacher conferences anyway
one of the things he said which i just absolutely loved is he talked about how like in crypto he was talking about he's like when you meet people who've been around for a long time like oh you've been in crypto for this long he's like you just know they're good and it's like a signal of like oh and when he means good it's like you have you're aligned on values like crypto values and that really stuck with me because i know what he means by that i feel the same way
yeah
and it's so different than the perception of what people who are not in crypto think of crypto
oh totally totally and i'm hoping you know that one good thing we get from this week is that a change in that perception let's hope let's hope
okay let's hope naomi it does not apply to some of the local bitcoiners okay
yeah
well we yeah so
that's different
bitcoin culture can be a little different
it's a little different
i also love bitcoin but
i love bitcoin i love to hold bitcoin i love watching it go up
but you don't have to say anymore naomi i know i know what you mean i understand
alrighty few more things to chat about this from the base team they are now in india and having a blast in casting all kinds of fun things and this i did not see i don't know if this has made its way into warfcast but i found this on twitter and as soon as i saw it like even without zooming in i was like oh this has to be this has to be fbi and it is so jesse pollock in a custom
kill killis fbi curta so look at that that is really impressive so great job fbi and if you don't know that that's the farcaster builders of india is that exactly what it is something like that so very very cool to see this all happening this is from
and i come to india do we get outfits i just wanna know
know let's ask i mean that might be that might be a good incentive those are real that was really cool that was
can you tell what i'm wearing today is the lighting good enough can you tell the color of my shirt
it's purple it's purple
that's it it's just farfetch'd purple it's it was intentional yeah that's it okay when i choose my outfit for the show
yeah same i chose this because this has the wow symbol on it so this is my enjoy shirt from from farcon actually
when the vibes get weird i just lean further into forecaster so
there you go i think it's a good idea it seems like a good idea this is from octant it's no secret we love funding good projects and builders so i see why am i we've opened our community fund to applications this is not epic epoch funding this is octict octant growth funding basically we're looking for glm locking initiatives that either or grow glm locking in octant boost epic epoch participation and governance engagement 2 marketing to up the visibility and awareness for octant mobilize your existing audience create good content that grabs attention and 3 public goods collaboration we're looking for 1 big community partner for this round so very cool if you wanna learn more check this out applications are open through november 22nd and there's a lot more info in this cast that will be in our show notes very cool to see this from woje why did i not log out h t two warp cast team for enabling this type of community building of course may not work for everyone but for supercast members i can now offer a slow and publicly readable space channel a fast and private space warp cast chat all integrated into simple clicks no need for weird links that can get leaked strict improvement over discord or telegram so this was related to new on warp on supercast community page so it's a supercast group chat started started getting rated rated recently so i took a moment to start building something i wanted for a long time a one stop place to learn about and onboard to supercast community so from the community page you can now join our warpcast group chat and supercast so just a different way to approach creating communities or channels if you will but with a little bit more functionality so very cool i have to get back on to that so i haven't been on in a while i need to go request my ai pet haven't requested my ai pet yet this was hilarious from bold leonidas oh i think i already had it open so funny his cartoons are hilarious and this was one from post election you derisked going into the election didn't you i ran 80,000 simulations how did this happen i love it because as the time the charts have been just up up only since tuesday and there was a but it was it did take a little downturn before that and then a lot of people were like running for the hills just in case so there you go pretty funny and this from kvac oh the loading the loading today how different age groups engage with content seems about right so obviously younger what they engage with versus older what they engage with and you can see like the various differences in generations and i think we're gonna just see this even more so just the split getting even more dramatic like i'm pretty sure like i don't i don't really know does gen z even like get email newsletters like is that something they would even do i know it's very low on this list but i'm just curious like if you're a gen zer do you do you get any newsletters i'm curious do you have a regular go to i don't
know are you gen z watching our show let us know but
yeah there's probably not a no one actually i think there's a couple but yeah let us know we're curious this from afrochicks i loved this post from naomi y'all mind if i get vulnerable for a sec okay so i got dropped by my commercial agent last week this is partly because of this year's injury and not being able to compete as much as i'd like so i get it and also partly because i don't really post on insta anymore which this part's interesting it's funny because i try to explain what i'm building on chain but they didn't get it and didn't really listen i don't know part of me is sad because i don't love being dropped rejected and feeling like i'm not good enough but part of me is happy because i already know that i am not the conventional athlete really think that what i'm building here is special and will be recognized in the future even if it isn't super meaningful in the mainstream right now there are so many more possibilities on chain and i would rather be supported by people who actually believe in my potential on and off the track anyway glad that's off my chest we'll probably delete later and i'm glad she didn't delete it like i really should have grabbed
so we can talk about it
so we can talk about it but i you know if you haven't been following naomi first of all what is wrong with you please do so so follow afrochicks but also she is casting and putting on chain her journey back to the olympics that's her goal is to make the olympics she's a world champion track and field athlete and in triple jump and has been world i don't know if she's been world champion but she's been the champion in britain for quite a few years had some injuries and didn't make the olympics this past time but is is putting all of this on chain as she trains for the next olympics and it's interesting that sort of her doing that has now pulled her from the traditional web 2 stuff so also another point on this go support her mint her stuff like yeah go do that cause she's just really cool and it's great that she's building you know trying to do something a little different and be part of on chain media so yeah very cool so go follow her she's amazing
and by the way totally like for her writing it when you re like it sucks to rejection always sucks right like yeah does it though i guess at some point you can get to the point i think if you keep you know it's like it's a you can learn how to let it not suck as much over time
well i think this is how you do that right you you put it out there you share that and then you keep building what your you know what your conviction is you just keep going with that and know that it's gonna suck short term short term stuff
it sucks less and you realize like it doesn't matter i'm not surprised like oh a traditional commercial agent doesn't understand what you're building no shit like of course they don't it also means when you're connecting direct to an audience and like there's no room for them like what what's their role in in this new space they don't have one i think it's interesting because she could easily post into in multiple places as a lot of people do but she's jumped into warpcast and farcaster and like not posting on insta she could post on both places and it just i think there's so many cases of that where it's like your energy just isn't there it's like you just don't want to and you get a lot of good energy from posting on farcaster so i agree with you it's like if you see this and you believe in that future it's like why we've had this conversation time and time again but like why do people mint things why do you put things on chain and it's yeah it's a way to support people and and i think it's
it's worthy it's a worthy cause yeah keep building keep building naomi we're with you
this from yes to crypto this is just funny by the way shout out to yes to crypto for diving into launching a token via the rounds frame so good he's been experimenting and figuring things out and sharing that publicly and i appreciate that learning that he's allowing me to do from doing the deal but this was hilarious uh-oh they found me interface his notifications interface 6969 is now following you ring there's a person at your front door it just is so funny like oh
i didn't even pick up on the on the wallet address being 6969
there's a person at your front door that's why it's in 69ism it was funny that's hilarious okay one last topic take deep breath start with this remember polls it's from polymarket
yeah
remember polls i'm like really it's like 48 hours ago that's so that's so last week like i can't even so very funny polymarket insurance badger
really enjoying their victory lap
yeah i i don't blame them this is wait
did tldr just post a pole dancer yes
thanks but not the kind you think
am i looking at it
it's like very acrobatic yeah not a not a yeah not the usual not the usual kind rest somebody typed in rest in poles too which is funny this from corbin reposting paul graham from twitter their biggest mistake was antagonizing the entire crypto community and this was entirely unnecessary there wasn't some other constituency they were trying to win points with by doing it and we talked about this the other day as well a little bit when we were talking about the results where crypto was the largest industry donor by far this action and it was not all like one party or another if you look at everything that was supported it was are you are you pro crypto or anti crypto if you're anti crypto we're not gonna be supporting you so it was really about that one issue and they lobbied very very well and it was a huge mistake that was totally you know unnecessary because there was a million ways to fix it yeah
yes it was completely unforced error because if you come out as anti crypto you're not driving 1 single person to the ball for you
no nobody cares nobody cares
no one they don't care
it was just unnecessary bullying that is
caused yeah you will get people very much against you so i don't understand that
and it was funny because even like you know mark cuban was out there doing the work like you did he was talking like he was inside talking to that campaign trying to get them to just like make a couple statements to say that you won't kill them anymore like fire gary gensler now that'll go a long way
oh my goodness yeah
you know things like that oh well but yeah i think that i
thought it was interesting
i thought it was interesting coming from paul graham that he was the one making that comment was surprising so yeah what were you gonna say sorry i cut you off
oh i'm just excited we don't have to pay taxes on degen tips anymore
apparently not
i don't know no more tax on tips no i'm psyched
nice i see what you did there i thought you meant the at one point you said there's gonna be no tax on crypto which no
there's no tax on tips
i know i know
i'm very happy about that
that's really funny okay alright lots of things being a and if you hurry up and have a
most of my wages come in tips so
if you if you go have a 4th child really quick you might even you might i won't even this is how i eat my papaya from now on with seeds adam hurwitz killed me so we have a new just in case you needed a new fruit meta here it is and it's adrian's background today so are you eating papayas with the seeds
i have not yet but if we're eating orange peels and kiwi skin i feel like we should start eating papaya seeds
okay by the way i broke up the i broke up the election discussion with a papaya i have these in the
wrong order we've got some more election stuff
i am going backwards just a few things this is from love and i loved it the election results have only emboldened my mission to teach every single woman in the world how to secure financial autonomy through shefi our current systems may try to strip away women's other rights but you can still have financial autonomy with crypto no one can take your crypto from you i repeat no one if you are a woman there is not a better time to become self sovereign take control where you can so there's a lot of angst
post election and if you haven't been on other platforms i recommend go checking them out for like a minute and then you'll see the difference with the way barcasters reacting there's a lot more angst on our own timeline than there has been before there's a lot more political discussion than there ever has before but comparatively there's still this
seems like more respectful discussion overall good faith
good faith for the most part
for the most part there's a few trolley type of things happening but for the most part quite good so i so that you know that type of message is really for those who are feeling very overwhelmed by the election this week so and yeah shefi does an amazing job don't go for too long to the other platforms yeah i said just quickly and then come back okay but also you don't even have to do that so i've done that for you i can tell you it's definitely a mess out there it really doesn't matter which one pick your pick your platform it's a shit show it doesn't matter which one it doesn't matter which side
show with like little gems inside
little gems
you can find them you just have to do the work
yeah you just have to look yep yep yep yep so i don't even know how much i wanna i'm looking at the other links we have and i'm like i don't even know if i wanna dive into it
what do you think
i could go either way
okay there's been some cast from what
do people want do people do you guys wanna go into
from superanon that have been interesting right because people feeling a little more emboldened so i think i'll point it out and then i'll just let other folks go take a look if they if they want
because more fruit content yeah yeah
more fruit content might be might be the way might be the way i might just go back to
i think we can touch upon this superannan because i think
maybe we'll just go back to this i don't know might be worth it
but i am gonna go to this really quick this was on super anon okay casting anon because truthfully i'm afraid to cast this not anon women of farcaster so it's like all of us okay what existing rights is the newly elected president taking away from you 1 2 why is it assumed people who vote for trump are condoned sa sexual assault is it okay to be a single issue voter on non policy related like sa which majority of us condone i think but not condone but not okay for people to be single issue voters on crypto 3 if you immediately call someone racist sexist homophobic dumb etcetera for their vote without asking why how do you expect them to react do ad hominem attacks create space for mutual understanding required to move society forward by the way i haven't seen any of that outright no there is
i have i may
have missed
it i may have missed it yeah and by the way i couldn't agree more with point number 3 and the entire like we had an election and more people voted for trump more people voted for trump more people voted republican than did or than 4 years ago everything went more that way right like so
i you were my answers there was a lot of them
you've had very long oh did you
yeah i
did i i i weighed in it as well so it's like
yeah
yeah i mean i think always and i casted a a little poem a few days ago similarly which is like just you you gotta really ask people questions like i i think coming out accusing someone of being racist is not a way to get them to open up
yeah that never usually doesn't work and i think there's also a lot of nuance a lot of nuance in the voting clearly the other side didn't do what they needed to do to attract enough voters period so you can't like just point fingers at folks who may have voted for trump for many reasons many many reasons so to answer like the first question and i am taking this as good faith these questions were asked in good faith other folks had other opinions
i think they were asked in good faith by the way before we actually answer the first question which i know we have lots of thoughts on just even the premise which is i'm using super none because i don't wanna post them like i so one i actually think it worked because yes there were some some attacks but they got a lot of good faith responses back
yep yep
because it's not a personal thing it's like let's just talk about the the content but on the flip side too so i think anonymity is good but on the flip side too in a cozy corner right when you're with a high trust group of people who care about truth and who can't get offended by words and wanna actually debate topics you shouldn't need that like you should really be able to not need to to to post something anonymously right
that would be ideal like i would love a world where that was unnecessary
because don't even need a world right just a cozy corner yeah like just like our world you need places my world
yeah i don't
care about the rest of the world
my dear i don't care about the
rest of
the world so but yeah that's true because and also if you come from a place of i am taking this in good faith and also if you write it in a way that isn't attacking and offensive and and and i felt like this was fine in that way you know some people took it a little that there was they felt like there might have been some snark in there and there might have been some bad faith you know approach but i i just you know i didn't take it that way i assume good intent so yeah so let's just answer the questions real quick
should we answer the question
let's answer the questions and i did in a much longer form which you can go go look at but so what existing rights is a newly elected president taking away from you this is the one question that i felt like do you really not know come on but also honestly i think there are a lot of people who don't know
people do not know
they do not know
people do not know
yep
and everybody is in their own bubble of social media
yeah big time
and there is a bubble that exists like yep there's a bubble that exists that all you see are this is exactly the rights that are being taken away
yeah
and it is logical and it is clear and it is factual and it is obvious and then there's another bubble
yep
that has just as much evidence that will show you that there are no rights that are being taken away and it is logical and it is factual and it's evidence based and they live in different worlds and they come to completely different conclusions and they're both
and they're built very sure that they're right
right and to be honest no one actually knows
no
like it's just the there there are 2 possible alternate like there are 2 possible futures
and the future is probably somewhere in the middle of those 2
maybe maybe i mean somewhere but the future's unknown unknown yeah
it's very unknown and there's a lot of factors that are gonna play out over the next couple months we don't know what those are
yeah but what's not unknown is the past and there have been rights taken away
correct so that's and that's all we can point to that we can point to very clearly and we can draw those lines and say this is what happened and here was the result so for that point the last time that the president was in office he did appoint 3 justices to the supreme court and that did lead to the overturn of roe and that was part of a very strategic plan not even his plan per se like it it was one that he you know came in the middle of if you will this has been something that's been going on for 30 plus years like this is not new i was marching in washington in 1989 i mean this is nothing new and it's been a on the roadmap and this specific like goal of mitch mcconnell and folks like that for decades so this was the final result of that but the other underlying part of this and i didn't get into this in my cast because it's just would take too long but i'll say it here is that i was incredibly angry when things were overturned not at the republicans they told you exactly what they were gonna do for decades i was incredibly angry at the democrats and and this and i had had many discussions with friends about this that i was not voting for president biden no matter what etcetera because of that in particular because there were opportunities back in the 90s to codify these rights for women but what happens in politics and this happens on both sides and in like in all different ways and we see it with immigration right now and we see it with abortion for years is they don't fix problems on purpose because they want to be able to run on the issue this is a very well known thing in political circles that if you solve the problem you cannot run on the problem and that becomes something that gets perpetuated over time so we have that happening on both sides where things don't get done so it's there's a lot of blame to go around but this is what women are reacting to because a lot of these abortion bans just came into effect fairly recently like like florida for example has a 6 week ban now that just went into effect in july texas went into effect not long before that and you start to see some of the stories that are coming out as what are the results of that because it goes beyond like whether or not somebody wants to have an abortion it impacts things like when a woman has a miscarriage and i think this is where a lot of things get don't there isn't full understanding if you're not a woman who has had kids has been through that process has been through everything that goes with that you may not be fully aware of everything that is goes into that like you just may know and understand all the things there are so many women who have miscarriages like there's a high percentage of women who have miscarriages when they're trying to get pregnant and there are certain things that need to happen that after that back to ensure their health and some of those things are no longer being permitted or they're being delayed because you've got lawyers checking to see if a doctor can treat their patient who is clearly in distress and things like that are where where women are reacting and feeling very uncomfortable and if i was a woman in my 20s 30s right now i would not be a happy camper like i am in a very privileged position of i am done so therefore like you know i could very easily just have voted with my bags and said you're on your own kids but you know this to me is also very important because i have been through some things and i think that's why you saw older women reacting to that particular issue more so because they know because they've been through it and they understand what the impact is and i think the biggest concern i have right now for women in this country is the going to be the lack of ob gyns over the next couple decades because they can't get the training they don't want to take the risk to go into the profession they'll pick a different profession instead because there's now gonna just be higher levels of potential liability where they can actually go to jail for doing their job and helping their patient and that's not a good place to be so that's all the impact so if it and but also i can completely understand if that if you have certain views on you know abortion that you're on that other side and and maybe you're not even aware of some of those implications because we haven't seen them all play out yet we're gonna them play out over the next decade and it's just gonna take a while for it to all sort of i think come to life and and hopefully that will lead to some reasonable adjustments of the law so that we don't have as greater impact on all of this but there you go so that's some of the reaction that you're saying might be a little emotional because they're feeling it personally and if you're not feeling it personally you can understand why that reaction looks weird totally
and that's like the fact that like we have the con the conversation happens about abortion right but that's not really what's at stake it's not like most people don't have abortions like the majority of people don't don't need it don't have it whatever that's
it's actually been going down for the past decades like yeah the amount the number that is necessary needed happens is way lower than it's ever been because of just better technology better contraception everything
i was gonna say aren't aren't also young people having less sex because they're just staying home and like
they're they're just like yeah
yeah because they're like and alcohol's got they're not getting drunk and going out they're just staying home and meeting on the i mean that's a separate
anyway but also that's great we're not we're not saying that's a bad thing it's just a little weird if you're a gen xer it seems weird but good for you
all i my the point i wanted to make was like when we're talking about abortion it's you're already at this extreme edges of these guardrails like of yeah and thank you naomi naomi oh yeah the the kids are just smarter and
yeah and and they
had sex ed
yeah they had sex ed yeah we didn't
they oh i did everything we added that was worth in my wasn't alive but but anyway so extreme edges right so you have like 2 people who are like far far apart and it's like we're gonna come fight so like you're fighting about abortion there's so much behind it that people just don't know and so i understand as a if you are a like republican man like yeah and you're like that you don't understand the like the psychological and emotional importance to women yeah totally about choice and autonomy i understand and on
the other side of that like we can't there's you there's only so much anger you can hold towards somebody who just doesn't know
yeah you know i mean it's not totally and my anger like it's just to help yeah yeah and my anger isn't like oh let me force this through it's like it's a failure on whoever's part to not educate then
yeah totally and it it it just is what it is we're in a very weird time where information does not always filter so you can't blame somebody who maybe just does not know the full ramifications of what's going on now please take aside like anyone who's actually acting like a total asshole out there like that does not apply to them like no understanding needed those are different the second question on here was why is it assumed we're still
on this cast
i'm just gonna go i'm just gonna go through them really quick why is this soon my my comment back was i don't think it is assumed but again if you have that lived experience where you have been a victim of sexual assault or harassment you might react differently to certain things
but this just this is social media right like someone out there is casting to if you voted for trump i you are yeah you condone sexual assault yeah someone casted that someone tweeted that and therefore someone sees that voted for trump doesn't think they do and thinks all women feel that way about them i mean like this is the problem like it's but yeah
don't assume yeah don't assume that everybody feels that way but also there might be some who do but again it's the same kind of thing like yeah and then the last thing was related to like and you think you know if you we already talked about number 3
yeah
assume good intent especially within this space right now i feel like a lot of people voted as a crypto single issue voter for a lot of the for a lot of folks that we know and aren't really looking at the other issues and it's because it's just not as important to them which is perfectly fine you know if you haven't lived that experience like of course why would it be so maybe we can all just can we all just try and get along i don't know i don't know if that's possible but
i think we can
we can try we can try i think
check out my i casted a compassion meditation last night
everybody oh did
go check it out mhmm
oh nice perfect i think that would be useful right now yeah but also like don't it's not yet the end of the world
you know it might be coming but not quite yet so maybe we just try to yeah take the take the temperature down a little bit try to find the fun stick with the memes hang out the memes channel more can you guys go up the memes go up the build
yeah actually make our job ease yeah just please more memes i guess i can do more
memes too funnier memes and go build stuff yeah go build stuff so we have stuff to talk about yeah
yeah go build make farcaster great again and i was talking to my friend who is who was very much very very very happy about the election and was telling me how much they love all of the liberal meltdowns you've been seeing this like getting joy and i all i said to him and by the way if you are loving this it just means that you have felt unrepresented and that you don't belong right so probably
yeah you know
it's like so i just had to i said look and he thought he was trying to like gotcha like like like i you know i don't care and it's not that i don't care it's just you can't control the things you can't control and there's exactly and i just said if you need to feel good i was like i just choose to believe in a world where we can make more and more people right like kind of grow the pie abundance mindset positive side
and i
said if you need to if seeing other people be really unhappy like if that makes you feel better that's on you yeah and i it's there's this is like the gloating it's like the i i don't know what to say and the and the whatever so here's my compassion meditation can i read it to you
yes please do
and then okay so
this is my put it in the show notes but i didn't have it ready to go
the first thing you say to yourself is you close your eyes you cannot you can all do this if you want
you can close your eyes
take a deep breath and say to yourself may i be safe may i be happy may i be healthy may i live with ease then you take a few more deep breaths and you say may you be safe may you be happy may you be healthy may you live with e ease thinking about someone think about oh i forgot how you think about a loved one when you do that think about a loved one and say that then take a few more breaths and think about some random person you don't know and say the same thing like have that person in your head and say may you be safe may you be happy may you be healthy may you live with ease and then think about someone you detest it can be on the timeline it can be someone you just got in a fight with it can be someone who criticized you it can be someone who like thinks you should be dead and you say the same thing for that person may you be safe may you be happy may you be healthy may you live with ease
i love that
