RE: Hello Steemians, I'm Neil! Early crypto enthusiast and activist for decentralization

Can confirm; Downloaded a Zynga Game and lost a few hours of my life. It was willingly done though.

I think that what you are describing, a form of gaming/entertainment that educates and provides some level of inherent takeaway is excellent. One of the things that caught my mind as I found myself driving to work each day is that the music played on the radio is ridiculously geared towards partying and other mundane 'compulsory' repetitions. I contrasted this with a CD that I played for my three year old - They Might Be Giants, "Here Comes Science." It's a brilliant catchy album that essentially makes learning facts pretty fun...the music is awesome and I think we need way more of that in todays world - I think it would be okay to listen to hip hop rappers rhyming the periodic table or dropping equations.

So I can totally support the idea of making a gaming system that reinforces and makes learning addictive. I think that is awesome and I am looking forward to seeing what you have in store!

I haven't heard of Follow My Vote. I am familiar with BitNation and have been keeping up with them as I think that it is a natural progression of Blockchain tech. Will definitely check out FMV. Thanks for posting...

Also, Props to The Safe Network!

"I think it would be okay to listen to hip hop rappers rhyming the periodic table or dropping equations."
I agree!

Glad to have your support on this. I'd die a happy man if learning could be made fun and free.

In my day to day life, it is something that I thought would be relegated to my family. I'm pretty excited to see that this might be something that can expand beyond that. Excitedly looking forward...

This is what I was talking about...this kind of media is a part of what we should be pushing for...

And the follow up to that song was brilliant...because it shows that the Scientific Method is valid.

To say that I am excited and waiting to see how I can contribute is an understatement...:)
