Other Life

Vers la Lune is an NFT degen who hosts the podcast Version 4, which published the first interview with Miya the BPD God in 2020. As Crypto Twitter influencers try to cancel the Milady NFTs for association with Miya, this podcast provides a totally different narrative in the context of Vers' first-hand knowledge of the Miya/Milady nexus and his larger perspective on NFT valuation.Vers la Lune✦ Vers on Twitter✦ The Version 4 podcast with Charlotte Fang representing MiyaOther Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world OtherLife.co✦ Get a free Urbit planet at imperceptible.computer✦ We're building a new country at imperceptible.countryIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent intellectual work, join the next cohort of IndieThinkers.org

At the Other Life x Urbit meetup in Austin, a group of 8 people rocked up wearing black trenchcoats. Endproject is an art and music collective based in Houston. I didn't know a thing about any of them until this podcast, and we quickly went deep into their defection from institutions, faith, the logic of culture, Deleuzian immanence, Urbit, and how authentic counterculture always wins.✦ Endproject website✦ Endproject's group on Urbit: ~rocdel-napsec/endproject✦ Vincent on Twitter✦ Vincent on Urbit: ~tacnul-docrux✦ Maria on Instagram✦ Maria on Urbit: ~doltud-topsyp✦ Justin on Twitter✦ Justin on Urbit: ~dirtec-hassunOther Life✦ Subscribe to the coolest newsletter in the world OtherLife.co✦ Get a free Urbit planet at imperceptible.computer✦ We're building a new country at imperceptible.countryIndieThinkers.org✦ If you're working on independent intellectual work, join the next cohort of IndieThinkers.org
