S 4 - Intent 3 : “Spread Awareness of the Optimistic Vision”
Proposed Mission: Create and Maintain the ‘Optimism Vision Reservoir’
In nature, a reservoir is a place where water is collected and stored to be used when it’s needed. Drawing a parallel to this concept, the “Optimism Vision Reservoir” is intended to be a collection point for the diverse interpretations, expressions, and reflections of Optimism’s vision.
The objective of this mission is to develop and manage a curated Notion-based collection of diverse resources, aimed at deepening understanding and fostering engagement with Optimism’s vision and values.
This initiative will gather scattered yet valuable content, consolidating it into a robust tool for those wishing to explore and disseminate Optimism’s vision.

Please explain how this Mission will help accomplish the above Intent:
In regard to Optimism’s vision, we have The Optimistic Vision 3 . This is our “manifesto” so to speak :innocent:. but beyond these five paragraphs, different members of the Collective have already expressed themselves to detail this vision, to express their interpretation and what this means deeply or very concretely for them.
They did it in interviews, articles, conferences, podcasts, blogs, videos. At present, these different resources are scattered across various platforms.
The mission of the ‘Optimism Vision Reservoir’ is to gently gather these dispersed pearls, forming a hub of resources. This reservoir will be a useful tool for better sharing the essence of Optimism’s vision, potentially inspiring content creators, ambassadors, and community members along the way.
In practical terms, the mission entails creating a Notion site to consolidate and make these resources accessible. This involves
meticulously selecting resources, providing their contextual background, linking to the original document, and preparing summaries and text transcriptions for audio-visual content.
Beyond the core of Optimism’s vision (whose resources are currently not vast), the project also seeks to introduce content on broader concepts like ‘Public Goods’, ‘Impact curation’, ‘regenerative finance’,…
From these resources, a lexicon will also be created around the central terms and concepts of the Optimism vision.
This ‘Reservoir’ is intended to serve not just as a knowledge repository but also, ideally, as a platform that encourages deeper understanding, and content creation centered on Optimism’s values and vision.
This resource is naturally expected to evolve over the long term (let’s be honest, the resources are not plentiful at this time). It will be particularly crafted to integrate future additions, including the hopefully forthcoming content produced during Season 4 (Intent 3 missions.)
What makes your Alliance well-suited to execute this Mission?
In my day-to-day work as a health educator, I find enjoyment in analyzing, summarizing, and curating resources and documents, which aligns well with this mission’s objectives.
I’ve always had a keen interest in environmental and climate issues. In 2021 , I became fascinated by the regenerative finance movement on Ethereum, largely inspired by the work of Kevin Owocki. Through this journey, I discovered Optimism and was captivated by its ambitious vision and the values it promotes.
Although I’m more on the introverted side, I take great pleasure in writing. Over the past few months, I’ve dedicated my time to learn about Optimism and absorb as much content as possible. I’ve collected some resources and content, but have yet to find the good channel to share them - this mission provide that opportunity.
While I’m new to contributing to the Optimism collective, I’ve designed the mission to be realistic, reflecting my current experience level, and I believe the grant amount requested is reasonable to start this project.
Please list a critical milestone:

An excerpt from an interview with Kelvin Fichter on OP Radio 11, where he shares a profound discourse on the vision of Optimism.
Kelvin Fichter : “Build a Digital Country”
Optimism is not a technology company. Optimism is a social structure that happens to build technology because it supports the social structure.
What Optimism truly is trying to do is create a digital country.
We want to build a self-sustaining economic system composed of thousands of people, if not many more, online, working together, building things together, generating revenue, generating a GDP, using those resources, sharing those resources to improve the base infrastructure of that economic system and make it possible for people to build bigger, better things that generate more revenue that they can then pump back into the system.
*We’re not talking about making credit card fees $0.10 cheaper. We’re talking about fully creating an alternative economic model and imbuing a value set into that economic model that values certain things that aren’t being valued in the system that a lot of us currently exist in. *
**Challenging the Status Quo
*We’re allowed to do this. We’re allowed to create our own system and say, you know what? Actually, I don’t think that our governmental systems are valuing all of the right things that need to be valued. **
*I’m not saying that these systems aren’t functional. I’m not saying that they don’t work. But I am saying that I truly believe that there are many, many, many things that aren’t being valued. I mean, look how much teachers get paid in the United States. It’s a joke. The people who are raising your children and teaching your children to be fully fledged adults get paid nothing. It’s a joke, right? That’s ridiculous. *
*And so why is it that we have this system that sort of reinforces that value set? *
Why have we reached a point where many of us believe that change is no longer possible?
People sort of mix up hopefulness with naivete. They think, if you even dare to improve anything, you’re just being naive. And that is such a sad way of living… And Optimism is just this rejection of that entire mindset.

this is just a part of if. So Each entry will include a cleaned-up transcription, introduction, link to the original content, and an introduction-disclaimer, …

It looks like this proposal has the necessary approvals to move to a vote, but we would also like to indicate our support for this proposal. As @Gonna.eth also mentioned, we like the grant size vs impact ratio for this proposal. 404 DAO is an Optimism delegate with enough voting power to approve this mission proposal.

This feels like might be the only content-based marketing initiative this cycle that is asking an amount commensurate with the value offered. Looking forward to this one if it passes.

As a team, we approached this proposal with caution due to it being a one-person alliance. However, we support this proposal because the requested grant amount is quite reasonable.
In addition to sharing the existing but unpublished content, we believe it would be great to create new content related to Optimistic Vision.

Hi and thank you for your message. It’s really a work in progress, still in the early stages. But I can already give you a link to the beta version ( :sweat_smile:) of the Reservoir (please don’t “over” share it for now) : Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases.
You’ll notice that it’s still quite dry & empty at the moment… but I’m going to upload resources more regularly from now on. (The ‘Glossary’ and ‘about me’ sections still need to be written. I’m going to link this to a proper domain name)
On a side note, keep in mind that I can’t devote all my time to it (about 8 hours/week as indicated in my mission statement), so it will take a little more patience to have a fully filled reservoir.

Wanted to let you know that I’ve been quite sick this week with a stomach infection. Unfortunately, this has made it impossible for me to make the progress I had hoped for on the Reservoir project this week. I’m really hoping that I’ll start feeling better in the coming days so I can get back to work in earnest.
Thank you for your understanding.
