It was at least half in 2017 … surely it’s more by now.

Dream 2: (Redacted) (R) Written on July 29, 2023 It stormed down here in city (R) last night & this morning as well. Ironically I woke up very early & witnessed what I #relayed to my partner (R) this morning after coming to grand room & sleeping on a couch awhile. It appeared to me as an #electrical storm in the sky. Lots of #lightning without sounds. Walked out front & saw a bright light coming from the north. Immediate thought was “well if this is it…then this is it. I’m ready to defend #humanity.” As the light came closer in the trees I looked over at the #lightening & felt comforted knowing it wouldn’t #strike me down. Waited far too long for the light to appear. At last a car drove by. That was the lighting I had seen? Very slow & mystical. Which is #weird. It definitely was not a dream. === This reminds me of something that happened many years ago. Now it seems the right time to share with all of you the story of when the tree in front of your fathers and my house was struck down directly in the middle. Your father wasn’t there as he was gone for (R). What children we had were sleeping at (R) house cause I had (R) the next day. That night I had went to sleep alone in the bed. While dreaming I was standing in front of a bunch of humans guarding them against some type of demented animalistic creature. This scared everyone around me enough to retreat. Even in the dream I was scared of “it” but intuitively understood that if no one else would stand against it…I absolutely had to in order to protect others. At that time I can’t remember how many of you (my children) were born but part of it was to protect my own child or children. In the dream we were battling, this “thing” and I. My last thought was its getting closer & I vividly recall feeling it was my time to strike. It lunged forward… Here’s where it gets weird. A loud thundering clap from outside woke me. I opened my eyes & my human body was on the floor next to the window next to our bed. I was on all fours howling like a dog. WTAF? Was my first thought. Upon stopping my shrieking howling, I stood and nervously opened the window curtain. Oddly I chose to peek out. 😂 (Not smart, cause easy target.) That’s when I witnessed the lightening strike that tree down the very middle. It was a loud explosive boom. The tree was on fire for only a few moments. It scared me so much I jumped back in bed & went back to sleep. Fearful but attempted to sleep thinking it was a nightmare. Can’t remember how soon it was…Did I sleep at all? but went over to (R) to check on my babies & slept there before going to (R). Not sure if (R) or your father will remember when the tree split down the middle. ( Dear #Nostr it was later confirmed all remember this ) Again, I thought it was only a nightmare. But considering how many other odd things are currently happening… This might have meant something more than my #mind or #soul could recognize at the time. Either way, it reminded me that when needed my #heart & body will always defend #humanity at all costs. It also is a gentle reminder that it’s okay to retreat when needed. In todays world of #misinformation & #soul sucking society… Humans will need to stick together & be kinder. #Love will be how humanity moves forward. Enough have died in wars. For me, I recognize that we are currently in a war of information spread online. Modern example most can see is: Witnessed by how many young men have chosen to follow disgusting ideology of toxic masculinity. Beyond that, we have multiple adults who have been #brainwashed into #political ideologies by the media as well. It’s not a “young man’s” loneliness that’s the problem. It’s lack of love. Many ages & generations feel unloved & seek it via online media & likes. On Twitter there are many “bots” People get dopamine boosts when they feel another “person” reacts to what they said. Both good and bad. If someone engages they accept they are special. “Having too much dopamine — or too much dopamine concentrated in some parts of the brain and not enough in other parts — is linked to being more competitive, aggressive and having poor impulse control. It can lead to conditions that include ADHD, binge eating, addiction and gambling.” The issue is many of those “people” on #Twitter etc. are not actual people. They are AI generated bots that appear to be people. It’s basically a network system. One human creates alternate personas & reacts as such. I’ve been using AI to show how easy it can be replicated on a massive scale. This has been done to distribute information online in record speeds. #Glitch out when needed 😂🤣🎂 View quoted note →

haha, it’s almost better to assume all bots until proven sign of life

Meeting people where they are is essentially the Golden Rule. Good luck, brother. Every religion teaches a variation of the Golden Rule which tells us two things: 1. It's important 2. Humans suck at it

thanks man🙏

Ima 100 💯 a bot 🤖 thought 💭: thot Thoth zzz 💤

Overcoming the network effects of established social media won’t be fast, if even possible. Despite the spam, AI slop, algorithmic rage bait, and general unpleasantness of Meta and X, people keep using it because people keep using it. 🫠 Cross posting from NOSTR to X & FB, but only engaging on NOSTR, would be a good example to set, for those with large follower counts. If you’re interested in trying to encourage people to switch.

It’s tough, I don’t know how if nostr can onboard new people effectively. I understand you have to put in the work, creeping on big accounts and just replying to everything with hopefully something insightful that catches you a follow, but proof of work. I did equal work on twitter and nostr, starting from scratch, as a plebe nobody. I wrote a fresh book with a killer message pushing the ball forward on the orange pilling front. and the proof of work is undeniable. I’ve done about 10 podcasts, some really big ones and some smaller ones. They were all a product of twitter. Without twitter I would have gotten zero. I’m don’t give a shit about selling books, i just want to get the message out and help people orange pill their loved ones. So im in a tough spot. i love the idea of nostr and its principles, and i wish i could be a nostr only person. and @Jeff Booth can do that, and be an example, but he is already a known figure. His message will get out and cross pollinate all platforms. but if ur a nobody pleb, but trying to get in the fight, like me, i hard thinking nostr only engagement would help the cause. I’ll stick with 50/50, but if im honest, probably 75 twitter 25 nostr is probably better for getting the message out 🤷‍♂️ it’s like, nostr is stewards only, and if we just sit back on our laurels, we are shitty stewards

What do humans not suck at on the macro level?

If there was an all star game for greed, laziness, and defense of the ego, we'd have a real problem of excesses in trying to select a squad of starters from roughly 8 billion very qualified candidates.

You think?
