Experimenting With Synergistic Social Incentives
Today, I tried something different, again 😌
As you may have noticed, there has been a lot of recalibration of Recalibrating, as I build out my writing style and share more of my art.
This week was a bit hectic, getting caught up on everything after vacation and before I leave for New York City next week 👀
I did write a post for you this week, but have not had time to convert it to Substack format. Instead, I wrote and published it on Paragraph (the platform I mentioned a few weeks ago).
You can read the full post here: Read Write Earn Own – Paragraph #3
I hope this post helps give you more context on the most exciting times I’ve ever experienced in social media 🤯.
Recalibrating Recap
Welcome to Recalibrating! My name is Callum (@_wanderloots)
Join me each week as I learn to better life in every way possible, reflecting and recalibrating along the way to keep from getting too lost.
Thanks for sharing the journey with me ✨
Last week, I shared my reflections on the nature of travel and the exploration of the unknown. I tied together the concepts of blockchain and flow, reflecting on a better and more sustainable Internet.
This week, I am referencing past writings as I shared my main post this week on Paragraph. It’s your chance to catch up on anything you may have missed over the last few weeks ✨
Context On Farcaster, Warpcast, & Frames
Artificial intelligence, blockchain, web3, attention, and the creator economy all tie together in interesting ways. I wrote several entries that all provide an excellent foundation for the incredible new social media system that is being built on Farcaster (referenced in the paragraph post).
For more context on Farcaster, Warpcast, and how frames (outbound links in social media) are changing the creator economy, I recommend reading:

#31: ⌛️ Long-Term Value Creation ⏳
Data matters more than you think, so why do we give it away for free? We have become accustomed to giving our data away in exchange for access to “free products” like social media or Google Maps. If the product is free, you are …

Next Week
Next week, I am going to be spending a lot of time with artists and technologists in New York City for NFT NYC.
I’m really excited at the opportunity to meet so many cool people (last year was one of the best week’s of my whole year).
Not sure where that leaves me for the next newsletter, but I’m sure I’ll recalibrate along the way ✨
