Various Threads of the Pluriversal Warp & Weft

--- ###### tags: `Backlog` --- # Various Threads of the Pluriversal Warp & Weft Drafted October 20, 2022 ### Manifesto - Research existing manifestos: - solarpunk - lunarpunk - cypherpunk - 20th century avant garde - How to compile the references? - wiki on github - Prepare to ship a signable document - Verses/Kernel ### Deep Dive Articles - Decide technical knowledge graphing tool - Logseq - Obsidian - Others: primary goal is to allow entrance to the content in a decentralized/rhizomatic way (not chronological/linear) - Outline core elements - Initially responding to KO's public talks on solarpunk - Expanding to capture and graph the main points from the Greenpill podcast (via a bounty system?) - Art historical arch (20th cen avant garde) - Cypherpunk arch, building from PeterPan's blogposts - Towards a theory of sub-cultural rebellion, including: - economic subversion: ponzi's in the service of ontological anarchism - cultural subversion: punk dislocated from it's musical connotation - political subversion: decen ideology moving the needle of trad power systems ### Apprenticeship - Redraft the *Existential Units of Concentration* workshop for the regen crypto community - gameified ponzi of subjective enlightenment - forking Jospeh Campbell's *Hero's Journey* to transform degens into regens - forking the path of the Buddha, Christ, Muhhamad, etc. - Research pre-industrial apprenticeship - disseminating skills from master/father to apprentice/son in workshop environment - 1:1/P2P trust networks of direct influence, ala a *Buddy System* - Research reputation, contribution, attribution protocols - reverse engineer to adapt to our own purposes - build towards a trust network of intentional inclusion - incorporate skills as secondary tracking - must be done in a way that preserves individual privacy, or instant fail! - Draft an overview: *Incompetence is a design problem* - Could become groundwork for vision & values of the Pluriverse Design Studio ### Regen Treasury - Comparative analysis of DAO treasury management strategies - Enlist a team to devise a Bloodletting strategy - Outline dev needs - Craft a proposal - conduct initial consultation to scope - Outline legal needs - form an LLC, 501c3, legal church or religious org ### Regen NFTs - Sketch mechanics for each of the 3 NFTs - Research [chain letter ponzi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_letter) - Maybe a competitive analysis with other ponzis? ### Pluriverse LARPing - Research: - [alternate reality games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game) - RPGs, MMORPGs, etc. - rationalist game theory - Create a visual design system: - mood board - provisional landing page - component library - Initiate discovery research: - compiled reports of all above topics - affinity mapping > personas - user flows > sitemap - wireframes - testable prototype (Figma) --- ## Todo ### Manifesto - Extract quotes from solarpunk and lunarpunk manifestos - Add to the Miro board - Create polls to gather sentiment ### Article Outline - Drag outline into Miro - Spatialize as a hierarchical concept map ### Lorecrafters Circle - Combine Discord clubs into a single formal converation about media - Research critique formations to provide structure - CTA: vetting mechanism, content curation, trust network, quality assurance for pluriverse lore, progressive permissionlessness for progressively decentralizing decision making ### Regen Treasury - Outline initiative with CabinDAO - Begin research into specific strategies: comparative analysis - Related Caretakers circle is highly related to the Lorecrafters Circle for trust and accountability ### Greenpill NFT - Diagram into Miro - Outsource to RaidGuild to build, incentivized with equity ### Moloch Coordination Game - Will attend Public Nouns meetings to gather sentiment - Start to craft a proposal to orient the game as a public good - Pursue grant matching from multiple orgs ### Regen Economic Schemes for the Pluriverse - Sketch the taxonomy of ideas - Send to Kevin first, then eventually the rest of the community - Explicate the value of the current loss leader content - Dependent on the economics of the above initiatives --- ## Economic Considerations Update - TW needs salary to steward. - Supermodular directly: research endowment - form a VC coalition that dedicates 1% of their marketing budget to elaborating regen lore - Pluriverse builders need funds. - VC fundraise - regen models baked-in to products - public goods grants - Products as economic generators. (not the loss leaders) - Examples: Regen treasury strategy, Greenpill NFT, Moloch coordination game - fill and sustain the treasury to pay for loss leader content - Pluriverse community as a product. - members pay to play - traditional fund raising: grant, Yeeter, + Supermodular - serves as an incubator/sandbox for pure lore/theory, removing marketing emphasis on loss leader content - Pursue public goods funding. - via grants: Gitcoin, Public Nouns, etc. - will likely require a disproportionate amount of energy to raise funds, distracting from the work.
