All around us, we see civilizational \ndecay. The people are not vital: physically, culturally, spiritually. We\n live in an era of obesity, remakes, and pollution. We are losing the \ndivine mandate, and in an era of absolute weapons, what\u2019s at stake is \neverything. But perhaps there\u2019s some glory in death by a light brighter \nthan a thousand suns. A worse fate may await humanity: atrophied bodies \nsubmerged in gel, fed synthetic bug paste, minds occupied by the petty \namusements of a corporate metaverse. There, nothing is at stake; there \nare no frontiers to explore; no growth is possible. Nothing to live for,\n and nothing to die for.</p><p>[\u2026]</p><p>\nTasks are a means by which Members and Thresholders can demonstrate \ntheir alignment with Praxis values. Tasks may be intellectual, artistic,\n and others just fun. Each Task has a corresponding PRAX reward, granted\n after the demonstration is approved by a member of our team. To \ndemonstrate your completion of a Task, you must share evidence in the #demonstration channel. Demonstrations are your chance to prove your dedication.\n\n<br/></p></blockquote><p>Escape the bug-world of pod-monotony by completing small tasks set by your masters in order to receive electronic tokens.<br/></p></blockquote>\n\n\n<p>::scoff:: the issue is just the internet is still calibrated for the expectation of regnancy but it doesn&rsquo;t gatekeep itself anymore and we accidentally a bias against doing it ourselves</p>"}
