Who else love the fact that "meta" was mentioned 84 times but made sense every single time it was mentioned.

maybe it could make more sense replacing 'meta' to 'narrative'.

No. That defeats the whole purpose of this post.

This article is an example of the mental exploration possible when one can devote mental energy to things other than mere survival or carry on with day job. The more people can be free of work, the more brain power will be made available to advancement of thinking , or meta-thinking, that can help us advance as individuals and as societies.

Cobie: Respect. Nicely written, to the point.

My thoughts:

- "meta" and "alpha" are close relatives aren't they?

- the game evolves around rotating into and out of the current meta, it seems.

- "players want to play": is it just me, or is already short attention span further shrinking? Shorter cycles....

My questions:

- you have a view on playing the airdrops meta?

- where would the latest $SOS drop fit in? I'm still struggling to make sense of it....

- I'm logging my gaming since 10.2020 - blessing and curse when you can look back to all those decisions....

- CT psyops FUD and FOMO games - when is CT exposure toxic?

Sorry, when my thoughts are rumblings - sorting my thinking by writing......

Anyway: great article - gave me plenty of "a-haaaa" - and "META" !! :-) >> keep sane & going. Up yours !

I come from games, I read the JOE meta after playing the PNG meta on Avalanche and I always saw it as a game of DEX's. Good post. I think one of the next big meta's will be gamefi coins and nfts but knowing the industry directly I know you've got to wait for that one big game. There will be a WoW, I just don't know where to look.

great post...very important to not engage in FOMO and be happy to miss a trend rather than be exit liquidity. If you do your research and have conviction you can catch the next game.
