Goodnight Nostr. It was a fall day dreams are made of. Everyone’s happy and well fed.

We got the last of the chanterelles for the season I think, about 5lbs. They are a little frost bitten from this week, but perfect for a thanksgiving feast!

GM Nostr! ☀️ Anyone into naming? A name can look decorative to a programmer while carrying an entire relationship for the person using it. Words matter more than most people realize.  “Member,” “customer,” “user,” and “beneficiary” are not automatically interchangeable. Codetry tests what changes when one replaces another, and how we can help the end user name their software so it doesn’t drift underneath them. What word in your project carries more responsibility than its schema suggests?

GM Nostr! Let’s create hope that survives contact with an ordinary hump day. Do you think someone can keep their job, care for family, meet obligations, and gradually gain more control over their tools & relationships?

Good burn. View quoted note →

GM Nostr. I am hosting homeschool races today on the homestead! We made medals from old clay deposits found on a beach in our chain of lakes. They turned out pretty cool!

We can disagree about how far technocratic control will go and still agree that people should have stronger capabilities now. Portable records. Clear permissions. Local governance. Tools that do not quietly redefine their users. That is useful work without requiring everyone to share the same prediction about the future.

When governance systems that we cannot inspect begin to clamp down and force us into choices with false equivalence but no recourse, what do you picture the masses doing? What will you do? I’d love to see useful, inspectable tools (that are actually discoverable) that can support people from where they are into a more sovereign lifestyle without expecting them to go full adoption overnight. For Codetry, that means turning naming, consent, and boundary decisions into things people can actually test. What’s a name that means a lot to you? A word that causes flushed cheeks if people use it improperly, without really understanding it the way you do…

Authoritarian governance is the familiar tool of the powers that be and the first thing they’ll reach for when the road gets bumpy. Technocracy has no exit. We need more grassroots community developers using methodologies like Codetry to get into the building games before they gate keep AI and we all lose our human transmission protocols.

Many of the people I supported weren’t missing meaning. Meaning was getting trapped between their bodies, their environment and the expectations of people around them. That is an infrastructure problem—not a character flaw. What if we could support all types of knowing to build more meaning into the world? Care workers learn things AI teams rarely model: A gesture can mean five different things. Context determines which one. Confidence is not consent. Repetition is not truth. And being unable to explain yourself does not make someone else’s interpretation yours.

Great podcast and optimistic view on the future. View quoted note →

The most beautiful part of the development process is honestly the fact that my biggest breakthrough happened because I knew how to unlock the spirit of someone who is non verbal / physically disabled. I spent years caring for a man and his wife at the end of his life with MS, performing daily care to her high standards of exactly what he did when he was able bodied. Daily showers. Know who he is. Move him—everyday. All other care workers found her annoying to keep happy and they disliked the shift, so I had FT hours there — half the year at a beautiful cabin by the lake. I quickly saw her annoyance as advocacy and her standards as deep love and admiration for her husband. The more I learned about him, the more I saw that he deserved our deep moral respect and my place was with him. Playing his favourite music and talking like he could mentally engage with me, trying little things that may help his care, reading to him in the breeze, trying to place him and his chair in the perfect spot so he could see the lake, even if it took me 45 minutes … These were moments where there were truly human transmission opportunities experienced that nobody measured. He would SPARK. The light was in his eyes, but you only saw it if you saw him like his wife did. That’s the answer to care robots. They are to be advocates not authorities. They support the pieces of yourself that may fall away, much like your lifelong love holds your “self” in place as you age alongside each other. I fear replacement of my profession in person centred care not because I fear job loss for humans, but because they are being built with unsafe and inferior infrastructure. I know what a good nurse looks like but LLMs don’t. Agents don’t. They can’t because the systems aren’t breeding the good ones. They don’t have relational data like the 8 forms of capital that may govern our independent choices. And the way they are set up right now, I don’t want the models to have that information on me anyway, but I would love to make it private, practical and safe for a care robot to care for my mother like I would using my methods. That’s what I’m here to do, figure out who is playing the game of continuity of care infrastructure because it turns out my “recreation” programming & community development methodology is very much transferrable to computers when they are blockchain based and rooted in human transmission protocols.

In learning to develop on blockchain adjacent to my community development efforts, the grassroots regenerative solutions for humanity map incredibly fluently to a new methodology I’m calling Codetry. I’m pumping out sovereign tech solutions like a web of hope that will act like a trampoline for resisting technocracy. A way to resist binary at the source, lay 5 primitives, use applied mathematics, include non-aggression principles and let the physics take the reins in two states. It’s not a method that is quick to digest, but around these parts we all see the problem and solution. Problem: Systems aren’t designed with individual needs held paramount. Solution: Build systems that are designed with individual needs held paramount. I did it in business, in a co-op, in homeschooling, in personal care settings and community care settings. 15 years of seeing the spark in someone’s eyes with my human transmission strategy. I’m hopeful!

X money is out this month; They have purposefully welded the identity, the visibility, and the U.S. cash-out on purpose according to grok. Consider building a legacy on a platform that can arbitrarily lock you out because you got caught in a bot net that says you spam (since you don’t follow the pattern of 6 words in an NPC script that was updated last week) to keep up with the arms race with the bots? It will be a sliding scale of technocratic rule until the platform is flattened into the most boring conversations imaginable and all the decent humans have left.
