Compounded Culture. Why compounded culture — when an art/product/personality becomes so important in your social circles that you have no choice but to engage with it — is key to understand, both individually and collectively. By @danidoesnotxist. https://www.pronounceddrop.com/post/compounded-culture
DAOs are not corporations Why when decisions are convex, decentralizing the process of making that decision can easily lead to confusion, and when they're concave, relying on the wisdom of the crowds can give better answers. By @VitalikButerin. https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2022/09/20/daos.html
The New Fandom Formula. Why Community (eg. niches) x Autonomy (eg. no-code creator tools) x Equity (eg.
