# 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.
