another month // another roast // another #zapsnag
most of my monthly coffee roast goes to coffee club members (if you're not in the club and want to be, reach out), but i’ve got 4 bags of this month’s roast available for #zapsnag.
1 lb. bag, whole bean
35000 sats each
shipping to the continental US included
SOUND COFFEE is a mixture of caturra and bourbon varietals grown in the huehuetenango region of guatemala by arcenio villatoro and imported by my friend Candace, who specializes in sourcing excellent coffees from small producers. I roast for sweetness and balance, which yields a cup that (I think) is approachable and comforting, particularly on cold mornings where winter is holding on for dear life.
First zap, first serve.

As I reflect: The effect the creative process has on the artist is another piece that we miss when we outsource creation to machines.

2026-02-15 17:40:53 UTC

As a creator, art is what I make as a transmutation of energy that flows through me, particularly with an intention toward building beauty in the world.
As a consumer, art is what reflects beauty back to me.
At least that's what's coming to me now.
What do you think?

2026-02-15 17:00:23 UTC

- reply

Can AI do art is a question I have been pondering lately. I keep coming back to this point: If we're producing for human pleasure, human pleasure will continue to be the judge of value. Machines can be used to replicate and produce quality at scale, but I'm unconvinced they will be able to dictate what is pleasurable to a human.
Human taste is notorious for seeking out novelty, so it's difficult to standardize over time. Maybe there will be/already has been a fork of humanity: those who exist as an energy source to feed the AI, and those who continue to dig deeper into what it means to be a human being exploring the wonders of the multiverse in a rapidly decaying meatsuit.
I imagine the former will be satisfied by AI engineered wine. It's for the latter that I roast coffee.

I find it very useful to research and plan specific projects on my homestead where I know the outcome I want. Instead of reading 5 books, reading hours of forum posts, or watching 12 YouTube videos, I can quickly hone in on a plan, then supplement with extra resources where the ai hallucinates. Also is helpful in troubleshooting and repair.

I've experienced lending that facilitated economic activity. I've also experienced lending that was simply a way to extract and control. I grew up in the breadbasket of the US, where many farmers take on perpetual debt to survive, with no foreseeable path to exit. Value flows out of the community and never returns. Slavery reborn.
A village where lender and borrower are both integrated into a shared larger system is a very different dynamic. This brings me back to the necessity of building back villages.

2026-02-10 14:26:43 UTC

I think about this from time to time. If the producers maintain sovereignty, they maintain leverage. Many farmers nowadays have given sovereignty to the nonproducers by taking on debt. I do believe this is changing, though.
