hey folks. been really enjoying chatting with some of you here on reddit and on slack. Slack (and here too) has really been exploding in numbers over the past few days. Watching the Western community come together and engage our ambassadors from the East reminds me of a book I read when I was younger called Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software

"An individual ant, like an individual neuron, is just about as dumb as can be. Connect enough of them together properly, though, and you get spontaneous intelligence. Web pundit Steven Johnson explains what we know about this phenomenon with a rare lucidity in Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software. Starting with the weird behavior of the semi-colonial organisms we call slime molds, Johnson details the development of increasingly complex and familiar behavior among simple components: cells, insects, and software developers all find their place in greater schemes.

Most game players, alas, live on something close to day-trader time, at least when they're in the middle of a game--thinking more about their next move than their next meal, and usually blissfully oblivious to the ten- or twenty-year trajectory of software development. No one wants to play with a toy that's going to be fun after a few decades of tinkering--the toys have to be engaging now, or kids will find other toys.

Johnson has a knack for explaining complicated and counterintuitive ideas cleverly without stealing the scene. Though we're far from fully understanding how complex behavior manifests from simple units and rules, our awareness that such emergence is possible is guiding research across disciplines. Readers unfamiliar with the sciences of complexity will find Emergence an excellent starting point, while those who were chaotic before it was cool will appreciate its updates and wider scope."



With aligned economic incentives we're building the next generation of blockchain tech together, and we all get to witness it in realtime. What a unique moment in history, a first. Sell if it's painful, we'll support you when you buy back lower (or higher lol). Hopefully we can still stay focused on the long-term payoff but the immediate goals. Whether it's Neo or not (that depends largely on us and what our emergent collective behavior is), I'm pretty confident that self-assembling organizations utilizing the blockchain is how we solve a lot of the world's pressing issues. This is how we win.
