My favorite time farcaster was dead was before it ever really had a life when it was just me and a bunch of bots(most of the top farcaster accounts are still bots that I run). Spring/summer 2024 after frames launched but before clanker when farcaster died again was really fun too tho. The current period of farcaster is dead is pretty distinct in that the tech needed to materialize the vision of an open social network is getting crazy good so there’s simply nothing to do but just build it and that is the current phase. I wonder what comes after the “go hard building the vision with hyper advanced ai technology” phase? If this were a book what would happen after that phase??? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE ABOUT TO HAPPEN AFTER ME AND THE HOMIES GO UNREASONABLY HARD BUILDING THE FUTURE WHILE LEVERAGING THE CURRENT REVOLUTION IN MACHINE INTELLIGENCE??????? gm

YOUR AREA IS CURRENTLY UNDER LAUNCH ADVISORY. Meteorologists are currently tracking the launch of the Base Tones Hearing Test. Base Tones is the NFT collection for every tone humans can hear. With the new hearing test, you can learn with the highest frequency you can hear is, and collect it on Base. Who knows, maybe you end up tracking this number onchain for the rest of your life, slowly watching your hearing range whittled down by the bold and merciless arrow of time. Also, you don't have to collect to test your hearing! Try it and share. I want to know how well casters can hear. https://basetones.fun/?view=hearing-test
I've realized sort of recently that most people do not have something they are passionate about to the point that their life will be empty without pursuing it For a long time, I thought everyone was sucking it up and just settling for the "normie life", but I am starting to think that most people are just kind of fine with following one of the typical paths set out for them. I think the realization started when I asked a friend, who is not boring at all and I respect a lot, what he would spend his time on if he didn't have to work and his answer was: "I have no idea" I'm a bit jealous of these people. It must be nice to be relatively adaptable to the way modern society works. People understand you easily and you're just on this ride with them enjoying it. I also find it comforting though that there is something special about whatever is happening in my restless spirit. It means I am probably just weird, not weak and selfish.
