GM Farcaster ep270 Friday, July 25, 2025 with @toadyhawk @betrmint From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s Friday episode of GM Farcaster was a chaotic collectible fever dream powered by spiked coffee and spiritual bidding wars. From technical glitches and mystery notifications to mole auctions nearing $500 and Pugson being rechristened “P-biddy,” the hosts explored the art, absurdity, and emotional rollercoaster of Farcaster’s new collectibles economy—concluding that the real treasure might be the memes (and simps) we found along the way.

Hyperlegible 002: Utsav Mamoria
Utsav Mamoria recently wrote How to Live an Intellectually Rich Life (https://utsavmamoria.substack.com/p/h...) on his Substack, Tumse Na Ho Paayega. It blew up, breaking out of containment in India and spanning the globe to the tune of 1,100 likes at the time of recording. For good reason: Utsav combines philosophy, mathematics, biographies, personal experience, and hand-drawn sketches to create a map – quite literally – for living an intellectually rich life. He takes us on a journey through Moradoom, Igamor, and Evermore, before arriving at Luminspere, the Mountains of Knowledge. His one sentence takeaway: Consistency trumps everything. I loved reading the essay, and was pleasantly surprised to enjoy our conversation even more. You can find Utsav on X at @utsavmamoria (https://x.com/utsavmamoria) and subscribe to Tumse Na Ho Paayega here: https://utsavmamoria.substack.com/ I asked Utsav for some recommendations.
