“But in a marketplace, “people don’t reliably ‘buy’ truths. People buy the ideas they like. And people don’t reliably like truths better than falsehoods”.
Very true. The art of debate to arrive at shared understanding of truth is being lost endless feeds of confirmative bias dopamine inducing groupthink echoes.
If you disagree I will ignore or seek to destroy you (is what we are led towards).
Sublime article but a little long in the tooth, I had to skim read a lot.

I feel your frustration, X still has a grip on me and feeds my doomscrolling addiction, I will reach the same place as you soon but I am not ready yet.
I feel X gives me an insight into the “real” world that nostr is too small to provide. I want to watch the hunger games of normies rant and argue, nostr is too civilised.
I hate the algorithm is a dark box, what does it prioritise, “unregretted user seconds” is the claim, but all the shadow banning and engagement baiting is tiring.
I am not ready yet, but I am on the path.
