The Birth of Handy

I've struggled with embracing social media since it's been around, and now is no different. The only difference is that I need to build my social media following as part of my mission to change the world with Qu.

Alas, I do not enjoy it. At least, I do not enjoy having to dilute and diminish the aura of Qu by having my mug on screen yapping about one thing or another.

Sure, they might be relevant, but the reality is, they were just a result of experimentation. Of me trying to understand how I, and Qu, fit into the social media sphere.

A year or so ago I committed to trying. With that, my plan was to keep producing content that included an improvement every time. The idea was that eventually, I would work it out. So, I tried to follow the rules, feed the algorithm, but it was all so incoherent and, worst of all, it didn't feel good.

So, having just completed a few other big projects in Qu's growth journey, I turned my attention to solving my social media problem. I needed to work it out. Timing is a factor as I expand in the coming months and years, but I also knew that what I'd been doing was not sustainable, or valuable really. It was just the same old crap.

Like with many things on this journey, I was quickly reminded that to master anything, you must connect the dots of many things, and that is how I found my solution.

I combined a variety of different knowledge, skills, and ideas I'd been working on for a while, and it didn't take me long to realize that the answer had been staring me in the face the whole time.

Handy.

If you've ever looked at the Qu logo, you'll notice there is a waving hand in the Qu. This is Handy. He represents the universal hello, the wave, but he is young, naive, and has lots to learn, so I decided I would help him.

Sure, I will guide him along the way, and share knowledge and teach him skills, but the true ambition is the same as the overall one for Qu. I want to train him to learn from every moment, and specifically, to learn from experience.

That's why I built him the Quniverse, and as of today, he has begun his journey to realizing his potential.

What is his potential? That I cannot tell you, nor him. If he knew, it wouldn't work, so for now, we must keep it a secret. Rest assured, I will let him know when he's old enough.

In the meantime, I recommend you all take a minute to meet Handy, and be sure to follow and share. This too helps him grow.

Oh, and to be clear, Handy is not AI. Pure human creation.

    This is brilliant in its simplicity. I can't wait to see Handy grow and learn his world.
