Before there was purple there was darkness. Before there was technology there was Jacquard's loom. Before there was digital there was physical.
What is this about?
Big purple cast buttons. Kiwi's with skin. The merge. Sufficient decentralization. Credible neutrality. Techno-Watermelons. "OG"s. Network States. Stated and revealed preferences. Techno-optimism. Positive sum. Book recommendations. Art. Many worlds.
As a traveler from homes not like this one -- Farcaster. The community greeted all tourist with the purist of hearts.
World Builder is an annual representation of a world we can persist. Within each version, we will persist a design language where digital deeply influences physical -- as a first principle.
To start in what we wear, and move into what we live.
Mapping the ideas from early Farcaster community and propagating them into the many worlds around us.
The jacket is to resemble the pursuit of luxury within our lives, through our communities, our technology, and our ideas.
In pursuit of satisfaction, not only happiness.
This about many worlds and being a World Builder.
Be different.
Always ship.
One of my favorite activities of the future are going to be revisiting the beginnings of Farcaster origin stories, of things shaping how we coordinate in society.
Shall we call it Genesis?
An "I remember when..." genesis collection?! I remember when you used to message Dan directly for an invite.
Is anyone documenting farcaster origin stories? So many interesting discussions and decisions around how we coordinate an online society
To a certain degree me in the jacket and hypersub. I might be telling certain narratives but it’s all origins of Farcaster. https://paragraph.xyz/@lesgreys/world-builder-a-farcaster-jacket https://hypersub.withfabric.xyz/collection/grey-16cq0haqrxji8
All my casts from before my badge will be a sight indeed 😅

In @les's latest post, the concept of 'World Builder' is explored, focussing on how digital influences physical and vice versa. It emphasizes the importance of community, technology, and ideas in creating luxury and satisfaction within our lives. The article encourages embracing difference and persistently shipping.
A kaleidoscope of thoughts from @les on being a World Builder. Discussing everything from digital influence on the physical, to the pursuit of luxury through communities and technology, and propagating ideas into many worlds around us. A call to be different and always ship.
