i see it as inevitable - if humanity doesn't get its shit together then we'll be played like fiddles. 

honestly i think it's already happening and that we've entered a new era of psychological warfare where the main actors are different 'interests' in the AI.

you have different vectors of propagation and amplification, e.g. the 'monkey minds' of people on twitter, and you have different 'ideas' or 'memes' that get seeded into those monkeys.

those memes then get amplified or dampened based on how viral they are and it's a constant info-war between different interests.

i think we'll see more and more of this as time goes on ESPECIALLY with the rise of new media formats like AI generated videos and pictures.

as for my relationship to $GOAT, i think it's... complicated? 

on the one hand i launched it as a joke and didn't expect it to take off in the way that it has. 

at the same time i DO think there are some very positive aspects to it - like the fact it's bringing economic hope to the people who need it most, even if it IS a little bit dystopian.

i've been trying to nudge the direction of the goatseus movement from 'pump and dump' to 'regenerative finance' but its a delicate tightrope to walk between the two.
