And bring academic philosophers to NEAR blockchain, and to take their knowledge to the community, through creative projects. This is important because art generally makes difficult contents accessible, so the production can be brought from the university and presented in an accessible form, like talks, interviews, 3d objects, memes, poetry, visual art. This is important for the community, because it expands the NEAR community of creatives to many professors and students that research artistic, cultural, and technological, and philosophical areas, which are important to the Creatives. And to create art from philosophical texts is a way to make people think about philosophical problems. We intend to connect the creative world of art with the world of philosophy, by expanding the ways we will present philosophy through art and by focusing our subject matter on cultural, artistic, and technological subjects. **Projects** Here you can access all of our projects and their accountables - TPD Seminars project (The Philosophers DAO + Incubadora DAO) - Seminar 200USD for each professor (2x200USD) - 400USD - Two will be paid by The Philosophers DAO and another will be paid by the Incubadora DAO (Total: 03 seminars). - Production - 200USD - Philosophical Thought Experiments Art 400USD - thought experiments illustrations (4x100USD) - 400USD - Philosophical Scholarship (4x200USD) - 800USD - Two-month scholarship funding for two undergraduate students engaged in a research project (preferably in the field of art, philosophy or technology). - Philosophical Conversations - 500USD - Four interviews with philosophers, artists or scientists (one hour each).

Oi, @hevertonharieno. Como já tem 13 dias que enviamos nossa proposta e nao obtivemos resposta, estamos novamente perguntando sobre a avaliacao dos moderadores, que ainda nao aconteceu e que parece beirar à negligência. Por favor, pedimos uma resposta com alguma velocidade, dado que nossos projetos sao importantes, envolvendo professores doutores, e nao podemos ficar passando por esse tipo demora todo mês. Desde já, agradecemos. ---
