Could community-owned Farcaster channels + cryptoeconomic rails (including the new Moxie Protocol) spark a long-overdue creative renaissance by making it easier for creatives to make a living?
What's important for long-term sustenance of writing as an art form? What's not so important? This outline and inquiry is part of the Slowcore Nerd Notes series.
What are some elements that might help unlock or facilitate "slowcore" value for writing as an art form, and help open paths toward a sustainable living for writers?
Slowcore is an affirmation of a commitment to cultivating patience, holding space for emergence, protecting our time and attention from extractive forces, and respecting the indwelling intelligence of the creative process.
A 'north star' for slowcore aficionados is deep refinement, reclaiming, and sovereignty of human attention.
Slowcore was first used by Danica Swanson to express distaste for hustle culture, and later adopted as the name of a Farcaster channel for Black Stone Sanctuary, a Pagan polytheist monastery-bootstrapping project by Danica Swanson and Trish Deneen.
(Note: there is also a musical genre called slowcore, so to avoid confusion, we don't use the term in musical contexts).
The “mint first edition” box is left unchecked as a way of retaining the option to upload future editions in this collection as pre-mints for first minters to select.
