I was expecting this video to just be a bunch of hilarity and not a lot of education, but once again one of the Paul brothers has surprised me by providing me a simple piece of information that helped me put more puzzle pieces together. I first learned about NFT's listening to Logan Paul try and explain the concept of it to a totally clueless David Spade (of SNL fame back in the day) on the Clubhouse app, and that's what triggered my interest, rather fiercely, and now his brother dropped a nugget. It was such a simple and obvious observation, and yet it triggered a big light bulb for me.
The nugget was simply that NFT art is or tends to be multimedia; sound, animation, storytelling, and it's programmable, malleable (which is a fucking great word for this, actually, absolutely perfect), meaning that it isn't just multimedia upon creation, but that it's very fucking TRAJECTORY IS MULTIMEDIA, and the potential is infinite, or will go as far as people want it to, whatever that trajectory BECOMES.
This makes me think of a DAO on another level. I had been thinking about it like a band; like 5 or so people, each one with a different skillset brought to the table to create an NFT empire, but now I'm seeing it as more of a kind of mini society through which NFT 'products' can be moved and shaped and grown, until they become worlds unto themselves, if you will, then then give birth to new worlds, not unlike a fractal.
