Adar posted:Strangecoin is more complex than money, but it gains that complexity by reflecting features of the community structure of the network, and that's a particular kind of complexity to which we're particularly disposed to thinking about. That is why everyone who matters spends their time navelgazing about who follows them on Twitter. You should write a paper on stuff.

Yiggy posted:Oh, he actually has started writing a short story on his Attention Economy if you check back to the goldmined thread. Hes about three chapters in. It'll give you a flare for the sort of world-building he's capable of as a writer of fantasy. Not really my sort of genre these days, so admittedly I'm not a great judge of its excellence. I haven't read it, but art would be a better place for his ideas. He's in love with language, the only thing that attracts him to science is probably its status.

ProfessorProf posted:In case it wasn't clear, for the record, I actually do want to hear RealityApologist's response on this point. I don't have any sense of what a mundane day-to-day transaction looks like from the actor's perspective in this economy/thought experiment/whatever Strangecoin is, but I'd like to. Go to the postmodernism generator instead, and hit F5 a couple of times. Honestly I don't understand why you're interested in feedback after reading the last couple of pages.

RealityApologist posted:I don't know if the suggestion constitutes blasphemy, but I was thinking perhaps of starting a subreddit, with threads constituting major themes (the strangecoin model itself, the technical issues with implementation, the visualization with auras or whatever, digital philosophy, network theory/unification of science, attention economy/popularity contests aren't a good way to govern/digital politics, etc), so that more detailed discussions might develop these lines independently without just getting confused in this thread. But I dunno. I could use some constructive suggestions. Why don't you look for online courses that relate to your subject (edx and Coursera come to mind), and start the debate there? You'll get feedback from profs and assistants, or at least you could try to get it. Which imho should be preferable to opening a second debate in another funny forum.

CheesyDog posted:Seriously guys, if you haven't look up Whuffies. It's clearly what he's trying to describe, only he's slapped on (valueless coin) and a bunch if half-understood theories so his idea can be an original one. Haha what the gently caress. So the idea's not even his? Was that mentioned at any point? That just makes me sad now.
