The game that funded @GrantHilbert's farm was set in Europe, so he built an American version. He founded the software company @squadbuilt in 2020 and hired eight artists and developers to spend three years on American Farming, a simulator centered on "American farmsteads, American towns, U.S. based brands" and other hallmarks of Midwest agriculture. "Not to toot our own horn, but these guys know what a Midwest farm looks like," Grant said. A free-to-play sequel, American Farming 2, launches Monday, August 24. @barntalkshow recently interviewed Grant and his brother Spencer during #FarmfluencersAtTheFair at the @IowaStateFair. thebusinessdownload.com/how-…

If you already live a comfortable life, then choosing to make more money but live a worse daily life is a bad trade.
And yet, we talk ourselves into it all the time. We take promotions that pay more, but swallow our free time. We already have a successful business, but we break ourselves trying to make it even more successful.
Too much focus on wealth, not enough focus on lifestyle.

To balance out my pessimism about the sociological and mental health effects of a few technologies, here is a powerful set of graphs about positive global health and quality of life trends, many from other technologies
“The world is full of problems, which people are often very aware of. But most people have no idea about the many improvements we have listed below, and therefore they lose hope for the future and think the world is doomed.” See full list here: gapminder.org/facts/improvem…

People always ask me if they should join a DAO. My answer remains ... probably.
Even when @ConstitutionDAO failed in its bid to buy the Constitution, I still turned my $250 DAO contribution into $2,500

Web3 solves the byzantine calendly problem by using proof-of-availability consensus mechanisms.

3 ideas to start your year:
1) You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
2) Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
3) Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins.
