All the prior reasons I provided on this blog and in the comments for preferring cred
are still valid, except my thoughts about women not preferring the rebellious name mosh
. Women like rebellion (drama and disruption) because they want to be invaded, so they have the widest availability of genetic input for their limited offspring (sperm is not dear, men can impregnate an unlimited number of women). Women also like cute, lovable things that associate with babies.
Also I’m thinking our name needs to embody the paradigmatic shift rather than just speak to some mundane logic (e.g. credit) of what money was in the agricultural and industrial eras which humanity is necessarily now departing.
What is more expressive of the paradigmatic shift we contemplating: credibility or knowledge?
Thus, my current preference for the token name in order of declining preference are:
knol
mosh
cred
The name mosh
(as abstractly branded so it becomes recognizable) probably appeals more to females than knol
.
I asked my gf if she was going to choose between a party that had mosh
or knol
, which would she choose? She said mosh
and started wiggling her body and smiling.
Feedback?
