I’m always impressed at just how dark the shithole of ragebaiting Xitter is, and just how nice Nostr really is. Goes to show how the algo is designed for hate and that humanity on a whole is actually pretty great.

I honestly wonder how much of the internet has been scrubbed, and for how long has the capacity to consistently scrub it has been? How much dialogue is real vs laundered misdirection? This is a pretty dark existential hole, to which Nostr has a pretty great answer and shows just how important this really is.

I’m just coming to the realization of the absolute and extraordinary danger that mid-40s, jaded cat-ladies who got their therapist license are to the whole of society because they can both 51-50 any patient and they think their world view is both normal and safe. This is the advanced vanguard of today’s culture revolution.

Going off grid for a week to mine for gold, fish, and swim! Always good to teach kids proof-or-work and what it takes to get hard money.

I appreciate all of you. Believe it or not, nostr is a space of compassion and holding, where all of the sins of the contemporary world can be held and honored for just what they are. Anyone can say whatever they want and need to here, in this place of pure expression. There is no sin or taboo… People can simply come as they are, with all of the pain, hardship, compassion and love that they can muster. Nothing can or will be forbidden. Few of us understand how needed and essential to the human soul it is that there is simply a space where they can say what they need to, and not be censored. It is of the most beautiful and honorable conditions of what it means to be human. It is the only way that we will ever have the kinds of conversations that are necessary to create the kind of change that the world needs. Thank you for participating.

Man, my life is wild.

I think a lot about how to build a revolutionary political structure on top of Nostr. Its decentralized, censorship-resistant nature with bitcoin integration makes it a deeply powerful platform when synthesized with a vanguardist political movement—I think we would have a really killer app. The powers-that-be would try to stomp it out, and have historically been successful at that because they can censor, ban, and debunk them—such things would not be possible with this movement. Such a movement would need to be vanguardist in nature, revolutionary in its educational capacity, and focused purely on revolutionary capacity vs politic partyism. This would be a lot of work, effort, and risk; but more and more I am coming to believe that it is the only way forward if we are going to offer posterity anything other than slavery.

Love, in its highest form, is not mastery. It is the reverent surrender to mystery.

If we cannot achieve truly open-source, verifiable hardware from silicone to software—the idea of self-sovereignty is nothing more than an elaborate LARP. We must build this—there is no other way.
