"I have been involved with digital manipulation for as long as I can remember; having trained as a film director, cameraman, and video editor. In 2021 I discovered Bitcoin and consequently delved into this new crypto world until I came to Ethereum and learned about NFTs. With the need to produce and publish something independent, I decided to embrace the philosophy and effectiveness of web3 .

The thing that got me back into rhythm games after a while of not playing osu! was some videos on YouTube abo...

Marginal Revolution, a frequent stopping ground in my internet tendency, linked to a David Brooks article on the "most rejected generation." I am a bit further removed from the college application and early career establish-yourself-in-the-world hustle though do remember that grind very well. I remember reading William Deresiewicz's works on how elite highly selective culture trains "excellent sheep" and wrote a piece for my college newspaper on "the temptations of gamespace" which seems to h...
