Everyone needs to watch this to get a dose of sobriety.

I think we have already become jaded with what the internet is, and we forget just what a revolutionary thing it is, and why so many of the things we despise or try to act as if we are "above it" are crucial elements to the entire reason why we are here. This is ALL about connecting people. The goal isn't to remove that, or evolve beyond it, its about regaining OUR control over the reigns of our connections, what we see, who we talk to, and what we say.

An incredible technology of connection,

has become a technology of control,

and we need to redesign it as a technology of freedom.

Anyway... its just a good video πŸ˜†

He talks about how the likes button changed social media fundamentally. Zaps are doing that now, so another change is upon us. Won't be the last either

Our focus needs to be on how we are building communities to connect the creators and the audience more directly and more organically. Zaps are so important to this and show just how powerful the shift could be when we put these technologies of #Nostr, the #Pear Stack, #Lightning and #Bitcoin and all of this together in *just* the right recipe...

What are your thoughts on this?

Was a great speech. Cal Newports digital minimalism book felt like it was along a similar vein.

Ai Bot and censorship killed the follower model.

This was spectacular.

Nice words

I just checked his youtube channel and if you go from 'latest' video's to the 'oldest' 15 years back, about four years ago and older ,they hit a lot more 'million views'. You can see how it goes down after that. He really had front row seats in all this online change.
