an originating culture forms itself and eventually if it is effective, transforms the world around it by institutionalizing its beliefs and values. the result is a civilization that represents a kind of externalization of those beliefs and values, a formalized system of life that ultimately perpetuates itself, regardless of the original culture's strength or health. thus civilization is the inevitable destiny of culture.

would like to #asknostr does anyone know how I can get the coinkite Bitcoin calendar imported into my own? I'm using proton now, and would love to have all those dates in there.
i feel like #nostr is the promise of what social media was supposed to be in the early days before it was captured and adopted by every large corporate entity on earth.
