RE: What’s all this about psychedelia and memes on the blockchain? Your bits.
That is interesting though a bit challenging to understand (at least for me). You are on a whole other level of understanding this issue. What are you doing your PhD in?
There is some really interesting stuff in this article, especially about "memetic bits" that infect the brain. However, you might have to "dumb down" what you're saying a bit, so that I can understand it hahaha. I dont think I'm as smart as you
I’ll try my best to break it down—one thing I’m trying is to write shorter posts (if you scroll through my feed, you’ll see this is a shorter one...). I’m glad that the imagery of memetic bits did work for you, however!
Yeah I did notice the length of some of them which adds to the challenge. I mean that as helpful feedback though, not to take anything away from your work. I think what you write about is great and super interesting. Your academic writing style really comes - it all comes down to the audience you are writing to - the average steemit user or highly intellectual folk? I'll definitely continue to tune in :)
The question of audience is my no. 1 ruminating thought at the moment. It’s so hard to gage who I’m writing for right now, both bc I’m transitioning from academic life as I finish my degree and bc we are still in beta on steemit. I’m just pleased that people—not bots—are starting to slowly engage my content. No matter the methods of writing/research and rigor of sourcing, an intelligent non-expert (on whatever I’m writing about) is my ideal reader. It’ll take me some time! Really appreciate your engagement.
yeah its tough. Finding your target audience is like marketing yourself (which I know nothing about). Its all trial and error for me lol. Intermixing long and short, academic and non-academic posts is another way.
But anyway. Keep it up! I think the posts are great. You have a very interesting perspective.
