Seems like word salad to me. I don't like how people throw around words like 'decentralized' and 'self-controlled' as if they automatically mean better economic incentives.
Oh and supposedly they will stop behavioral engineering, hooking, addictions and what not.
Be more specific. How exactly would those changes occur? Are you talking about nostr specifically? Something broader?
Wtf “Our data was never for sale” means exactly? Corporations won’t be able to collect data in your “self-controlled” version of the internet? What does it mean? How would it work?
Yes. I appreciate and support the concept of owning your private key (which is one thing that nostr does, alongside being a permissionless decentralized pubsub network).
But there is a huge leap from that to solving all sociological problems that come with the internet, as he talks about behavioral engineering, manipulation of algorithms and digital addictions.
Also - owning your private key and owning "your data" are two very different things. You don't own any data once you've published it. So I don't know what this means: >>Our data was never for sale, and reclaiming it will become one of the most important political events of the 21st century<<.
It seems like grandiose, propagandistic language. The reality is more complex and nuanced.
