LT3 #101 — Wisdom

Host: Super (@SHGFees), with cohost Sho (@AgogoKaren) · Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 · Duration: 1:00:24 · ~5 speakers

TL;DR

• Super opened with a long Drake set (the "if you think I'm gonna quit before I die, dream on" energy), then rolled into a genuinely reflective conversation on what wisdom actually is.
• Announcement: LT3 has a collab product with the Fugs coming, with details expected in the next couple of days and a multi-week marketing rollout showing off Zoe's art and animation. [12:09]
• Two more collabs are loosely in the pipeline — a Quarkies skateboard deck and LT3 crossing one billion GIF uses — both TBD on timing. [14:15]
• The room converged on a shared distinction, courtesy of Cadarn and Chicken Wizard: knowledge is knowing things; wisdom is what you do with them.
• Candle resurfaced from LT3's earliest days and offered "proof of growth" — Super used to be all about the next mint and flip, and is now imparting knowledge instead. [36:38]
• Super closed with a candid reflection on healthily detaching from floor-price anxiety, and the sense that two years in Web3 feels like living a whole extra lifetime.

Highlights

[9:12] Super set the tone for the day — he got a rush of motivation driving through the city listening to the Drake track, and framed LT3's two-year run as just the beginning: "another however long in me, however long it takes."

[12:09] The Fugs collab reveal. Super explained this is a chance to put LT3's best skill — product marketing and content — on full display, with a ~50-second animation he called one of Zoe's best. Details expected within days, rollouts across the coming weeks.

[14:15] Super laid out the fuller pipeline: three confirmed rollouts plus two iffy ones — the one-billion GIF-uses milestone and a Quarkies skateboard-deck collab (LT3 being first in line). He noted the deck is already semi-public in Quarkies' own spaces, so no big secret.

[23:59] Cadarn reframed the whole topic, gently correcting the room: skateboarding trivia and a spouse's medical profession are knowledge, not wisdom. His definition — wisdom is the "preservating knowledge" that lets you see danger and step out of its way, and the proper application of what you know.

[28:40] Chicken Wizard built on it: you can hold all the knowledge in the world and it's useless without action. Parents can impart knowledge but not wisdom — kids have to take the steps themselves. He also drew a line between individual and collective wisdom (part of why religions gain traction).

[36:38] Candle came up from LT3's earliest days and delivered the warmest beat of the night — he barely remembers wisdom, he said, but he can offer proof of growth: the Super who used to obsess over the next mint and flip is now the one imparting knowledge. Cadarn seconded it as living proof of the topic. [37:58]

[40:27] Sho dropped the line that got copied into the chat on request: "knowledge tells you what is true, wisdom helps you know what to do with it."

[41:38] Prompted by Candle's memory, Super gave the most personal stretch — recalling how a friend dumping 100 mints once hurt his soul, and how he's since healthily detached from the sales-bot dopamine. Floor going up is worth celebrating; floor going down, he keeps doing exactly what he's doing.

[50:39] Candle's aging bit: two years in Web3 is "like 90 years in reality" — and if it were AI, "950 years." Super leaned all the way in, calling himself a "Web3 old man," and Sho protested being made to feel ancient.

Who said what

• Super (@SHGFees) — Host. Opened with Drake, announced the Fugs collab and rollout plans, then spent much of the hour reflecting on his own growth from flip-focused trader to someone detached from floor-price swings.
• Sho (@AgogoKaren) — Cohost ("grandma" in the room). Added that wisdom includes taking correction and constructive criticism, contributed the night's most-quoted nugget, and offered warm closing praise.
• Cadarn (@RendCadarn) — The room's designated wisdom source. Repeatedly reframed knowledge vs. wisdom, cited Proverbs, and stressed that value comes from the company you keep.
• Chicken Wizard (@ChickenWizardX) — Extended the theme to action over information, individual vs. collective wisdom, and listening over talking.
• Candle (@sirscreen_eth) — Returning from LT3's earliest spaces; gave the "proof of growth" observation and the running Web3-aging bit.
• Speaker 7 — Chimed in early framing the topic ("wisdom lies with the [elder]") and later on shared experience and supporting rather than competing.

Worth a full listen

• [36:38]–[41:38] — Candle's return and "proof of growth," Cadarn's follow-up, and Sho's nugget land back to back; the affection and the theme click together in a way a summary flattens.
• [41:38]–[45:34] — Super's unbroken reflection on the sales-bot dopamine and learning to detach from the floor is the emotional core of the episode and best heard in his own voice.
• [49:35]–[52:13] — The "90 years in Web3 / 950 if it's AI" run into the caterpillar-and-butterfly meme is the room at its funniest and most quietly sincere.
