“The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity.
To see past the ordinary and mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible.”

From Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being

New podcast series by journalist Joanne McNeil— Main Accounts: The Story of MySpace. The time before big social is interesting because there was more peer-to-peer experimentation.

I wager Amazon gets a cushy warning, while smaller apps would just get delisted.

Who here in the Nostrverse is also looking at AR that leverages decentralized/relay contexts? The informal mode of decentralized seems better suited to more organic use of AR.

So many AR projects from big tech replicate the high modernism of centralized top-down urban planning. They are doomed.

Long tail bread crumb posting for any seeing this now, or later.
