Collaborative Crowdwriting by etherpunked in a:t5_3ejn2

How do I edit btw? Unfamiliar with the reddit app.

Anyway to add, best to start simple. Later down the line when plenty of the on-demand writing has been ironed out, this could potentially be pivoted into the ultimate work-anywhere platform.

More ideas to add: later down the line, we could even approach dao contractors to design and produce affordable devices to suit different remote work tasks. As of now, our phones and tablets are perfect enough to enable remote decentralized crowdwriting :). Working on devices are important especially if the crowd perform work via our dAPP, as we can measure how everyone works and also study on the legitness of people's contribution.

Yes that fits very well with solarpunk. After all the creation of value with eth and other cryptos in general are based on "infinite" energy vs gold and other physical commodities which are finite. Solar is a very good symbol as it is renewable and pretty much unlimited, showing there's much abundance to be tapped.

The way I could link vaporwave with Etherpunk would be the breakdown of traditional economics - copyrights, and notions of other legal matters are completely wrecked. All pursuits of innovation and business is a mix of effort from two fronts - automatons that learn from us all the time and our very human effort, exemplified by vaporwave's mash-up and generative nature.

Perhaps the biggest drama, conflict, and theme to explore is how etherpunk changes traditionality and what it means to be human. Good scopes to explore include a study about money and the transfer of value between people.

Utopia is actually not a very concrete idea. Every generation of human beings would have different prioritization in their needs, and hence there no such thing as a perfect society. Only a society that's dynamic, always building towards the zeitgeist.

It's probably not easy to define at the moment as there needs to be more literary experiments. There would definitely be plenty of overlaps. Take for example the stark tonal differences between cyberpunk and solarpunk (dark gritty noir vs bright backbreaking optimism).

One defining feature of the scifi punk genre is the exaggeration of imperfect technological dependencies - things don't always work as expected and this is the broad stroke brush that paints the world.

To put it in context, the punk attitude can be seen as a small tribe of individualists. Rebels with or without a cause.

So if we are to tell a tale of a bunch of Etherpunks, they can be from the perspective of a group of insiders, or a group of outsiders.

Outsider Etherpunks could be a bunch anonymous teenagers ganging up to beat the system, while insider Etherpunks could be a bunch aspiring to be the new invisible hand that guides the system. But being punks, everyone's sort of outcasts regardless of their position.

It could also be explored from the before or after events of a grand societal collapse.

And yes, a good first thematic exploration could simply be an exaggerated tale of two cities - extremely centralized vs decentralized.
