Week 07 I started to focus on the logic and rules in the NFT world. I did research about the the development of NFT.
Mentally
The key to make it valuable is to use "Repetitive Subject" and "Random Variate". Andy Warhol, "You know the president drinks Coca-Cola, Elizabeth Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and you think about it, you can drink Coca-Cola too. Coke is coke, and no amount of money can buy you a better coke than that bum on the corner has. All cokes are the same. Elizabeth Taylor knows it, presidents know it, hobos know it, you know it." "If everyone in this era, rich and poor, is
drinking Coke, eating McDonald's, using iphones and tapping Tiktok, just like the cans standing side by side in the painting, then what makes you different and let you enjoy the spotlight, even for 15 minutes?" Even though we're legally equal, there's a variable in me that's scarcer than yours, and I create an artificial inequality. Although human artistic creation originally contains the factor of "repetition", most of them are "theme repetition". For example, medieval artists, many of whom painted Jesus and the Virgin. But Andy Warhol's repetition is a very straightforward "image repetition." This is the kind of repetition that only a machine can produce.
