SMI to the NFT by (me!) ~tops
we are non-stop, sexy and i..
our minds
on any given day, running errands, hanging out, watching tv, playing in the yard
his dialogue will inevitably include ways things can be improved. he sees it.. everywhere we go. how if you put a sign here, or moved this from there to over here, or made that more visible, or removed that..
-and, he is like, always write! i mean, so often, things are being done in a less efficient, less productive, less safe, less customer friendly way than they could be.
he sees it. but does not take action. it's just conversation... he just shares out loud what he is thinking.
and i learn a ton...

i tend to only say, a portion of what i'm thinking out loud..
"look at that tree! wouldn't that make a great neighborhood Christmas tree!" but the rest of the associated/inspired thoughts are internal, and i'm walking quietly but thinking..
that one tree could light up this entire neighborhood... wouldn't it be awesome if someone collected a portion of money from each neighbor, to pay professionals to come out with their trucks and ladders and deck-orate the halls out of this tree...
and i can see it. how beautiful it would look. but im not going to take action...

filed under inventory of our thought life. amen.

speaking of -my son and daughter got us thinking about cryptocurrency... web 3... NFT's... bitcoin.. very minor research... bored ape yacht club.. and then something about
digital wallets.. and on BAYC... bathrooms? members only... place to draw, scrawl or write expletives... (?) "we're pretty sure it's going to be full of dicks" /pix of toilet..
/not my cup of -pee. laughing face emoji here.
and so,
zero interest. -moving on...
paragraph here, paragraph there regarding NFT's.. got the basic idea.. value/authentication of an original piece of digital art -which we know can be copied, and visually the same as the original, but there is really and truly only one, first, original..
and some crazy money is being exchanged... /for original tweets?
but, upon further reading, i realize.. it is all the same pattern/formula for art in the physical world. you still have an artist.. a gallery owner... a process for making it into the gallery.. critics... value of art as arbitrary.. celebrity still factoring/dictating.. 12 people taking a % of the art the artist made; collector/investors with exclusively monetary goals, and true art appreciators.. true artists and then just savvy creatives.. and the same highly subjective criteria for even determining what qualifies as 'art'
and as with youtube, as with rockstars, as with models, as with actors, as with influencers, as with professional athletes in any sphere
a few wildly successfulls are blown up, showcased, featured, hyper-publicized (B)million-dollar mascots; who serve to recruit the ma$$es of hopeful$.
all the same; shift platform from physical to digital. -i am most impressed as i read though, for the technology that allows programmers/ coders to authenticate an original vs. copy.. or technology that prevents copies from being made without permission..
and we do want to learn more about cryptocurrency. we are both convinced our future grandchildren will be earning/saving/spending via this way -that cash, as we know it, and our current banking system are slowly subsiding..
.... non-fungible tokens... blockchain technology... big digital bucks for original art....
converting original physical art
into NFT's.... -digital wallets....
***
what is the digital equivalent of an archaeologist? if we jump forward.. the study of human history through the excavation of (web) sites; analysis of non-fungiblefacts.. and other email remains...
***
cusp of the new more digital.. less physical world
amen.
