Hello, I'm Demi from https://colonist.io team.

I love this. It feels like what Bananagram did to scrabble.

Scrabble -> Waiting turns

Bananagram -> Everyone plays at the same time

The difference in fun is 10x.

We will use your app to see how it plays out. We might just end up implementing it :)

Cesar from the https://woogles.io team - bananagrams is definitely not nearly as fun as Scrabble :)

[stevage → cdelsolar]

They're just different. I never play Scrabble with friends because it's too serious and competitive. Banana grams is light and fun and unpredictable.

On: What are the top mental models to increase common sense?

[demiculus]

You believe what you believe. But I've made bad decisions which could have been prevented by common sense. I see people displaying non-common-sense behaviors. I observe similar things in myself but when I stop and think about it a little bit more I tend to decrease those behaviors. The 2 tools above have been useful.

Not to mention I've been digging into mental models for many years: https://mmpractices.com/

Ahahaha thanks, I haven't stared working on that mental model. I'll fix it when I do :)

On: Why Half-Assed Modern Art Is All about the Memes

[demiculus]

> To construct a successful meme in the art scene, you need at least a little bit disillusionment, to understand the economics behind it. Similarly, the greatest successes in the NFT space will not come from talent, but from a solid understanding of memes

Ah man, I was expecting NFTs would catch on with porn not memes

On: Lollapalooza Effect in Crypto

[demiculus]

Hey all,

This is a part of a presentation I did for a private group. I've explained briefly what Lollapalooza Effect is and how these projects are using different human biases like Greed, Survivorship Bias, Authority Bias, Anchoring Effect, Dunning-Kruger Effect, Confirmation Bias..

If you guys find this video useful, I will create more content explaining the psychological effects this environment creates on the user and what the user can do to not be trapped.

Enjoy
