Thought of this yesterday and can’t get it out of my head. Maybe it’s been talked about before. But are notes the only thing that are truly permanent?
Say I write a book. Physical books can always be lost. The ebook can always be removed from the store. If I’m using social media - the company can just remove my whole account. And if not, who knows if we are still using the same social media platforms 200 years from now( we won’t be ). But notes cannot be deleted. 200 years from now you can still look up my npub and see everything I’ve ever posted. I can’t even delete it myself nor can anyone else.
Am I correct in thinking this? If so then that is revolutionary and mind-blowing.

“An idea has an aim. It wants something. It posits a value structure. An idea believes that what it is aiming for is better than what it has now. It reduces the world to those things that aid or impede its realization, and it reduces everything else to irrelevance. An idea defines figure against ground.
An idea is a personality, not a fact. When it manifests itself within a person, it has a strong proclivity to make of that person its avatar: to impel that person to act it out.”
-Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life
Thought of bitcoin when I read this. I think we are all possessed by an idea that has changed our whole lives. Can’t speak for y’all but i am a completely different person after discovering bitcoin.
