- Power must be used, but it must be tempered by soul-searching and the recognition of our human capacity for error. That is the maxim that should inform our approach to every challenge, from reforming state government to engaging in foreign affairs.
- I wrote this for a music competition entry I did this week troughmy blog, decided to share it here 💯🌱
There's also a note at the end that I will LOVE you to share with whoever you think it can support my independent music journey 😉 ❤️
It's been tough days because there are constructions all around the area, and if you work with sounds, the level of tolerance must be huge to work and endure the random noise of drills, hammers, and trucks. The difficult part about this is that during the day there have been few moments of silence, and I wanted to record during the day but couldn't leave the house since I've been in various transitions with work as well as with eating, and being at home has been both the best and most stressful thing due to my surroundings. But there are moments like this, of construction, and I want to think that it's also happening inside me with all the physical and routine changes I'm making with the passing days. Luckily, I had a moment of silence between the hours of the day, and I was able to record the song I'm going to talk about today.
Web3 has meant an exponential growth in my journey. Since I started doing digital concerts on Discord about 7 years ago, the concept of "Digital Street Music" has been forming in my consciousness as the pursuit of equivalent exchange with other individuals in terms that allow an exploration of the here and now in artistic spaces, as well as a playful dynamic between music and conversation whose axes also go to philosophy and web3.
I'm a musician, I live for music, and I'm constantly generating resources through it not only because I'm stubborn with a dream and the will to achieve it through unconventional means, but also because that constant translates into evolution for all dimensions I inhabit.
Currently, I am a digital and local being. I have focused on the creative process of calibrating technique with the organic, roots with the wireless, and that is the purpose that music and art serve in this type of technology. I call this "Cyborg Amish Seeking Balance," presenting a duality that resides in me and in you, our connected side to natural times and another that seeks the automation of processes.
This invokes a question: What is the middle ground between the automatic and the natural? And I have that question because working in a technical and digital world from a format like music, you appreciate the synthetic dimensions that humans have shown possible in visible reality, and I see a problem, I distinguish the absence of roots in the values of projects that only for that reason end up being short-sighted. Modern technology requires the debate of technological obsolescence, either because we understand that finite resources on Earth are running out, out of respect for the inhabitants who for thousands of years did not extract resources from these areas, or simply because we acquire the awareness that this earthly plane will be the home of our descendants. Are we going to hand it over to our grandchildren in the long term out of love or fear?
This leads me to a variety of topics, such as diversity, and I can applaud the struggles for diversity in the world, but before wanting to move forward, we would need to talk thoroughly and with the same normalization of the diversity of our indigenous peoples, as well as the awareness of how our relationship with them as a modern society has been and how we can bring it to a point of metamodernism if you want to call it that, or Game B, which is about playing life taking our well-being and that of the earth as infrastructure for the strategies of the here and now.
I also have a flirtation with astrology that comes from a deep childhood curiosity to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and these tools have served as a channel to channel creative energy into a template that allows it to be an alchemical process, embracing the dark and light parts of our colors to paint the universe. And that doesn't mean that sometimes we don't feel like the colors we have are not enough to explain the world or ourselves, or funnier, that they are not "beautiful," a judgment of self-criticism capable of cutting our moment of muse.
The song I bring to you this week is a mix of astrology, drama, and philosophy made into a song, a door to the imaginary that seeks to show the light and the dark, and so we find ourselves in the wisdom that we all laugh, we all cry, and together they generate the energy required to reach the appreciation of the unusual phenomenon that is the fact of being here.
I think it's the most fun song for those who don't speak Spanish, given the playful and universal quality of elements like the breeze and laughter, allowing energy to flow beyond consciousness. I consciously seek to make songs a space to observe high and low peaks of emotion that allow for accompaniment and containment in moments of high and low peaks for me. I hope you enjoy it.
Without further ado, Karma
Karma - José Cabrera
Lyrics
Sometimes I cling so much to the moments
that when they end they cause me pain
And that's my Karma, from dreaming so much.
That time changes everything
That time is transformation
That time is a distance... that changes perception
Your cold, take it away, or don't give me anything.
The eternal dawn watches us in a corner
You danced without distraction the song of death,
our inherent code also became a song.
So much talent your late eyes have,
I die of laughter with all your mental games.
The densest argument now is the breeze
of your values so tender and so natural
I sing and connect the dots in time with rhymes
And you don't know where my nonsense is going
which I manifest often in midday
that give color of my essence to your realities
And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night,
as if screaming for a color, a clearer tone
that light is also color and musical notes or zodiac signs.
Art is a driver.
Your cold, take it away, or don't give me anything.
The eternal dawn watches us in a corner
You danced without distraction the song of death,
our inherent code also became a song.
So much talent your late eyes have,
I die of laughter with all your mental games.
The densest argument now is the breeze
of your values so tender and so natural
I sing and connect the times in time with rhymes
And you don't know where my nonsense is going
which I manifest often in midday
that give color of my essence to your realities.

- Nuevo artículo en @lens/t2world
Encontrarán links, que respaldan todo lo escrito en este Post Mortem, en el artículo.
1- La ronda se abrió el 29 de marzo en la plataforma Prop House. 32 propuestas fueron inscritas.
2- Antes de la ronda, se compartió un contrato social que fue votada por esta comunidad (Ayer me enteré que no son una Organización Autónoma Descentralizada, sino que están en camino a serlo. Aunque si entran a su Discord, encontrarán que hay contradicciones en los mensajes).
3- Este "contrato social" limitaba la cantidad de votos máximos por holder del token AMIGO a 5 por Prop. La votación (que tuvo un quorum del 116.67%) concluyó 2 semanas antes del cierre de votaciones de la ronda. En este periodo se pudo implementar una solución onchain.
4- Presenté una Prop para "nounificar" el evento ICPCC en Santiago de Chile. En la propuesta mencioné el respaldo de tres personas que conozco y que son parte de Nouns Amigos.
5- Durante toda la ronda este "acuerdo social" no se respetó. Aquí un ejemplo del 7 de abril, en una propuesta que salió ganadora.
6- La cuenta de X Ethereum Guatemala compartió un post animando a que los participantes compartan sus propuestas, con el fin de entregar votos (evidentemente la persona detrás de esta cuenta es holder del token AMIGO).
7- La propuesta de ICPCC recibió más de 45 likes y cuenta con un alcance mayor a 2 mil vistas, superando por creces a las demás. Esos votos no llegaron, y es algo que se puede revisar en blockchain.
8- A menos de 10 minutos del cierre de las votaciones, el usuario necfas (founder de Nouns Amigos) rompió el contrato social, dándole 10 votos a distintas propuestas.
9- En el Discord de esta comunidad, necfas planteó que estaba "en operación", que no había podido votar, que lo hizo rápido y que se le olvidó el contrato social. Yo dejé en claro que entre "un descuido" y una "trampa" hay una línea muy delgada.
10- A pesar de intentar buscar soluciones a esto, la comunidad de Nouns Amigos decidió seguir con la votación onchain. Esto perjudicó la propuesta de ICPCC de Santiago de Chile (que quedó afuera por 1 voto) y otras. Una tabla con todos los detalles también la encontrarán en Discord.
11- En ningún momento algún miembro de la comunidad sugirió hacer una votación on chain para buscar una solución.
12- Varios dieron su opinión, desde que lo que está escrito en blockchain es "ley" hasta que ya se estaba evidenciando una centralización en una comunidad cuyo discurso es abogar por la descentralización. (Paréntesis: no porque uno escriba una mentira en blockchain pasa a ser verdad automáticamente).
13- Las prop ganadoras recibirán como recompensa 0.5 ETH. Es decir, 1.750 dólares al 11 de abril de 2024.
14- El evento ICPCC Santiago, cuyo contexto es la celebración del tercer aniversario de Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) y que tiene un alcance a nivel mundial se realizará de todas formas, ya que no depende de los fondos de Nouns.
15- Se planteó que para la siguiente votación, se intentará buscar una solución a este problema.
PD: esto lo escribo con la única intención de dejar un registro (en blockchain) de lo ocurrido. Estoy abierto a recibir cualquier comentario.

- I use to watch like maybe three or four movies, five days out of the week. I was a movie buff, but I really didn't know what it was like behind the scenes, or the whole political process of it.
- been getting some quality engagement on this LIP. excited to see what people think of it so far.
- You know what's funny? I don't ever feel the need to escape. I have a strong marriage. I like my life. You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
