I'm intrigued by the Singapore analogy. And believe we have a long way to go with art and culture in web3/farcaster/ns So I got Gemni to do a little research on the history of art and culture in Singapore. The turning point was a report called 'Global City for the Arts' - "It argued that Singapore had achieved material success but lacked soul, proposing that culture was essential for civic maturity and international prestige." (see link in reply) History rhymes. Web3 built the economic engine, but we’ve barely started on the culture. Time to build the soul?

I think we haven’t reached the mature state yet where this kicks in and becomes the focus to take it to the next level (not to say it can’t happen simultaneously in pockets)
yes prob not the focus, but a lot of value in supporting those pockets imo • diversity & anti-monoculture • preventing creative brain drain • attracting weird, divergent talent • building organic lore (you can't engineer soul top-down) • emotional stickiness thanks Chris, appreciate you pushing my thinking around this
