โ€ข Past: The Moon (Reversed) - Your past is marked by a time of repressed emotion and inner confusion. You may have been afraid to face your true feelings, leading to a sense of being lost. It is important to learn to express your emotions.
โ€ข Present: Two of Pentacles (Reversed) - In the present, you are struggling to manage your time and are feeling disorganized. It's time to re-prioritize and delegate tasks if possible.
โ€ข Future: Three of Wands - The future holds the promise of new opportunities, possibly involving travel or international connections.

Emotional repression parallels fiat's demise, fueled by unaddressed debt and inflation, notably the 1970s stagflation.

I had the honor of working with @BitPopArt at the AOS Convergence hackathon last week. We worked together on a gameified mechanism for establishing physical trust, something that could be replicated with limited resources and technology.

The outcome of that work became Wordsoul:
https://wordsoul.ink
https://zapstore.dev/apps/ink.wordsoul.app

Wordsoul establishes a chain of connection via a physical object, a treasured totem identified via a symbol and phrase. You draw a symbol using lines on a 4x4 grid on the item, sharing a special phrase when exchanging ownership from one totem owner to the next.

You entrust your totem to a friend, and they in turn entrust it to another. This action creates a chain of physical attestation and trust between each person who has received the totem, symbol, and words.

The "totem" can be created from anything, on the spot, assuming you have the ability to draw your symbol and speak your chosen words. When claiming the totem, you can mark logs, letters, pictures, location - each log embedded with an attestation event to verify your claim; see @Nathan Day 's NIP for it here:

Each action imbues the very soul of connection into your totem, building a story of sentimental trust between each owner.

Wordsoul acts as a means to establish simple authenticity between people. We exist in an era in which increasingly detached and complex means are sought to define who is real among us, a simulacrum of intangible bond.

What proof is more meaningful than the symbols, words, and objects that we pass down?

What story will you pass to the world ahead?

Weird. Why does this app cause all 8 of my CPUs to jump to 30/50 percent usage.

"Hey Doritos? You're Doritos." Cool but man, this post reads like a bible passage.
