THE TECHNO-OPTIMIST MANIFESTO part 1
“You live in a deranged age — more deranged than usual, because despite great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.”
— Walker Percy
“Our species is 300,000 years old. For the first 290,000 years, we were foragers, subsisting in a way that’s still observable among the Bushmen of the Kalahari and the Sentinelese of the Andaman Islands. Even after Homo Sapiens embraced agriculture, progress was painfully slow. A person born in Sumer in 4,000BC would find the resources, work, and technology available in England at the time of the Norman Conquest or in the Aztec Empire at the time of Columbus quite familiar. Then, beginning in the 18th Century, many people’s standard of living skyrocketed. What brought about this dramatic improvement, and why?”
— Marian Tupy
“There’s a way to do it better. Find it.”
— Thomas Edison
Lies
We are being lied to.
We are told that technology takes our jobs, reduces our wages, increases inequality, threatens our health, ruins the environment, degrades our society, corrupts our children, impairs our humanity, threatens our future, and is ever on the verge of ruining everything.
We are told to be angry, bitter, and resentful about technology.
We are told to be pessimistic.
The myth of Prometheus – in various updated forms like Frankenstein, Oppenheimer, and Terminator – haunts our nightmares.
We are told to denounce our birthright – our intelligence, our control over nature, our ability to build a better world.
We are told to be miserable about the future.

It is with profound sadness to report Froggy Woods has been dealt, but I’m happy to see it in the hands of my friend and fellow SD member @jl2fa. Picked up this incredible frog/water king in exchange.

Count me among the people who think this is a bad idea.
There are no “experts” to adjudicate this issue, and many disparate actors will never agree. Committees and bureaucracy won’t solve anything.
As with many technologies, there are dangers, but we should keep marching forward with progress because the good outweighs the bad. The marketplace of ideas leads to better outcomes than central planning.
Don’t ever let fear stop progress, and be wary of anyone trying to capture control in some central authority.

Today I'm launching Squiggle Syndicate #0.
It's a trustless NFT investment pool, or "ship," on the @saildotfun protocol. We'll pool our resources and acquire undervalued Chromie Squiggles by @ArtOnBlockchain and @artblocks_io
I'm helping test Sail which is built by fellow builders @OKDunc and @jl2fa
Join us on the maiden voyage: sail.fun/ship/0x554f47f…
We have 7 days until we set sail.
I've committed 2 ETH as captain of the ship.
By pooling our resources, we aim to acquire a diverse portfolio of Crypto Squiggles that enables us to capitalize on this anticipated appreciation and generate attractive returns for our investors.
Can’t afford a Squiggle but want to participate in the upside?
DISCLAIMER: PLEASE ENSURE YOU GO THROUGH THE DOCUMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW SAIL.FUN WORKS. THE NFT MARKET IS HIGHLY VOLATILE, PLEASE INVEST WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO RISK.

Hey everyone,
I'm about 36 hours away from setting sail on my ship as part of my captaincy at @saildotfun.
So far, I've raised 1.7e, and have 5 sailors on board.
I'm looking for more to join me to contribute to the raise - and hopefully win together.
