Literary awards always end up getting politically captured. it's best to disregard them entirely.
Any Bitcoiners interested in an easy win in the culture war?
The Self-Published Science Fiction Competition has excluded Devon Eriksen from this years awards because they don’t like his tweets.
Devon has been on nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev's podcast and I believe a couple others in the Bitcoin space - I don’t know that he’s a maxi (“money is a measure of fucks given” is a great line) but he gets it and his views generally are pretty aligned with Bitcoiners.
Other authors have withdrawn from the competition in solidarity.
A new competition based on proof of work could easily spring up to replace these woketards, maybe nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a would want to submit her work to it when finished or nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s or the plethora other writers in the space?
Funding the arts, especially stuff that aligns culturally is an important part of winning.
This seems like a great opportunity. I couldn’t run a competition but I’d be willing to donate good Sats to a Bitcoiner led comp to displace them!
