My fellow retards,
Straight lines don’t exist in nature. A way is undefined until it has been tread.
A third grade student sits at the same desk every day, hears the tone at the same time and mindlessly recites his pledge…one day he notices a classmate silently seated during the daily loyalty/unity ritual. How does he react? Does he ignore them? Seek to understand them? Petition the local authority to intervene? Take it on himself to punish them for their disorder…?
What has the child been trained for?
The government-run education system in America has been designed for ease of administration; in product and in process. In practice it is an abject disaster. The root of the problem is that government-educated students do not how learn to think. The solution as conceived by the people who never learned how to think—more degrees, more debt, more broken incentives to enslave the minds they are entrusted with. A perverse cycle of…endumbening? dumb-ception? Alas.
Any system with a big budget and little oversight attracts individuals who seek to create an in-group and control the budget for their own benefit. Without careful system design to refute them, those in-groupers will build ever increasing layers of bureaucracy to insulate their control and steer the system to serve their own interests. Unchecked annual budgets are low-hanging fruit to a whole ecosystem of dead weight skaters and grifters who exchange social currency for access.
Children learn early on to navigate this system of illegitimate structure and perverse incentives. Credentialism and obedience reign over individualism and results. Does the public even recognize this has happened?
The human mind is made to wander and roam. The impression of your form on reality is made unique by the texture of layered meanderings, the refinement process of all of the little things that define this way as your own…
Anyone can work very hard, focus very hard, shake all the right hands, wave at all the right people—really put forth the effort.
Western educators have thoroughly trained their charges to believe that effort itself is worthy of reward.
Children raised like that grow up to say things like “we had to do something” when confronted with the fact that panicked policy reactions to COVID cost untold billions in lost productivity, clearly prevented effective interventions from entering widespread use, and has undeniably caused a non-zero number of people to be in worse health than they would otherwise have been.
Studies show children raised in this manner are 3x as likely to be unable to hoist an adult goat to their shoulder, and 4x as likely to not own land and still make a downpayment on a Tesla Cybercuck. Phon/ongod has proof and will release it once it has been appropriately anonymized, probably in late 2023…
Via wandering, the phon/ongod arrives at the destination, without plan, without intention, without even realizing how it has happened…The present lull before the testnet launch and ensuing wave of development gives the DAO an opportunity to examine itself and its processes. Will it optimize for obedience and cohesion, or for independence and imagination? Phon/ongod’s goats are pushing for the latter…
Weigh in on the official phonon DAO discord.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
