"It is just going to make the world a little bit more efficient."💡 In this clip, @Padierfind from @nmkr_io discusses the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and its impact on society. He envisions a future where tokenized assets could streamline transactions and enhance liquidity, moving us towards a more efficient economic landscape.

I see alot of references to NYT article about Influencers, where the observation is: you don't need actual talent, you just need to believe you have talent. I think its interesting that the most talented artists I know are often times enough the ones with the most self doubt. Maybe that's what drives the greatness in the art. You can put the energy into belief or you can put it into making the work, and they are not the same. Michelangelo's diaries and writings are filled with his angst, self doubt, and complaints about himself and his works. You look at the enduring works from over a hundred years ago that continue to have relevance and engagement today, and remarkably, many were not the influencers of their time. Neither Hilma Af Klimt nor Van Gogh would be considered as influencers, in fact one didn't' believe in his art, and the other believed only in a spiritual experience, in private. The world has always had influencers, most of what they do is part of the ephemera of their time, ephemera as in passing. Post Modern Deskilling first eliminated skill, talent, then process, and now any semblance to what might be considered as creative work, bc belief is all that is needed. As the wheels spins, and the next thing kicks in, look for talent to be re-centered again, even though it may not be in my lifetime. As I was taught eons ago by my favorite art history teacher, in the end talent survives, and talent wins. What we now have is a simulation, almost in every field. And as Baudrillard said, reality dies through the process of its meticulous duplication. AI now makes art, as a simulation, and all that is needed is a believing influencer, as the simulation of an artist. At some point the #DeadInternet will no longer be a meme, but an actuality, and most traffic on the net will be bots consuming AI generated content. And that is how things die. What will come next? I have no idea, but there is always a next, bc most things are not enduring, but rather ephemeral. Very few things actually endure.
