The Daily Sneak 18 September 2018 - with guest curator @paradigmprospect
Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
Today's guest curator is @paradigmprospect.
The ups and downs of life can be challenging, and they can be marvelous. As we move on to new stages of development we find horrendous developments in the realms of society, but we also find promising angles and boundless optimism for circumstances others many can't help but to feel disappointed about.
In the spirit of re-evaluating our own stance to life and its challenges, it is @paradigmprospect's pleasure to share the work of these Steemians today that manage to inspire, embolden and empower those who may have thought they had lost their inner strength to go on in a world that sometimes seems like it has gone insane. Don't forget about the positive side!
The Sneaked Selections
Fresh Wild mushroom lasagne (Vegan) , made with spinach lasagne sheets
Since I am always on the hunt for awesome recipes to try out I am happy to say I finally found a good angle to making a vegan lasagne that looks awesomely promising!
As @gguy773 shares with us in his appetite-generating post, making a tasty lasagne can both be easy and totally relevant to the ingredients nature provides where you live. Like local mushrooms for example ;)
Warping Youth: The Worrying Degendering of Society
While most people may not be familiar with the roots of political correctness and the history of the gender debate, it is plainly visible today that the authorities, education facilities and what people call 'governments' have long started to work in concert in order to imprint certain concepts and worldviews on the youngest members of society.
And as @wordtruth shares with us, this has severe consequences on the mind of a child growing up, discovering who he is and what society expects of him.
Definitely a worrying trend, and I'm afraid the example of Sweden will only be the beginning of a large-scale effort orchestrated by the powers that be to cut people off from their own nature and being, shoved into a world of mind-concepts and baseless metaphysics...
(IJCH) Dancing with the Universe (Philosophy)
Despite all our advances and modern technologies, we find that many of us worry on a daily basis. We overthink, we overanalyze and sometimes the focussing on the negative can paint a bleak picture of the reality we perceive that is much bleaker than... actuality.
But as @jaichai reminds us, overly focussing on the negative may be a somewhat archaic mode of existence that had its merit in times when we were living in nature and threats could appear out of the blue... And maybe it's time to shift our focus back to the positive in order to live a glorious life, whenever we feel we are ready to make that shift happen in congruence with our inner world and on our own terms.
The 24th webisode of my Artventures videos just got released on my YouTube channel!
It's not every day that we get a chance to follow a world-class artist around as he travels the Earth on his mission to spread his transformative work and to connect with fellow artists in a modern (epi)center of creativity.
Fortunately, @chrisdyer is sharing many of his travels through his vlog, and in this most recent episode we get to follow him on his visit to Alex & Allyson Grey's COSM (chapel of sacred mirrors) where we meet a multitude of cutting-edge artists all working to manifest and expand upon this holy space of human expression and the melting of ideas in visual craftsmanship.
A really awesome glimpse into the newfound temple of contemporary psychedelic art inspiring countless people to follow their passions. Thanks Chris!
Conclusion
Amazing commentary and selections from @paradigmprospect. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @paradigmprospect earns 4 SBD.
Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!
Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Does the bot exclude its own comments from the user engagement calculations? Seems like it would be a virtuous loop otherwise...
