Zapping prematurely just in case

Premature ezapulation

Gotta start publishing on habla.news!

I am aware of the irony, and in my defense I did previously and will do again for this one.

Will have to adjust my workflow to go nostr first. It will come. In time. It will come.

The content is too good to not be in a note (or other stuff) :)

Rectified!

I sense some Lagarde 😂

Hello Gigi, I am currently writing a book explaining new technologies for individuals looking to attain more freedom and independence.

I'm currently writing the section about Nostr, could I bother you with a quote about what Nostr means for this people and why they should pay attention to it?

Thanks!

Good idea, who is building this? Maybe get a bounty going?

Nice, zapped

are you fucking serious I have ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶t̶v̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ things to do

Gigi do you know who that person is? I will lose my mind if you say yes.

I read then found it ironic that you posted your writing in your walled garden. I suppose this works too as we can zap this note, but lacks the interoperability for the whole piece you wrote.

His website is not a walled garden

It is free to copy share and use in any way

that article name will beunderappreciated

Few 😅

On another note: purple-colored reading glasses. That's what I had in mind when generating this.

A system that allows for value to flow back toward those that created it

That’s 🔑 gigi

Another #[1] "must read" #Bitcoin #Nostr 🤯

"Imagine a visual overlay of all public highlights, automatically shining a light on what the swarm of readers found most useful, insightful, funny, etc.

Further, imagine the possibility of sharing these highlights ... with one click, automatically tagging the highlighter(s) as well as the author, of course, so that eventual sat-flows can be split and forwarded automatically."

Man, I love this idea. I have been a Pocket user for years, and often use the text-to-audio feature because the ‘reading’ quality has been good enough, and it is truly useful for catching up with reading while driving, doing chores, walking the dog, whatever.

Now with NOSTR, we can have swarmed & zapped highlights, discussions, curations, and Lord knows what else—all within a complex dance of flowing & flowering sats. It will be glorious and spectacular!

Imagine this, but also for MUSIC! @Wavlake, you paying attention?

Precisely. Thank you for reading 🙏🧡

Thanks for amplifying what I’ve been dreaming about for years. Oh yeah, thanks for the sats too!

I had to test it! 🤣 .00000334 at you buddy.

Loved this piece. Whilst the concept is understood, the technical "how to" is currently out of my depth.

As a long form reader (and writer to some degree) myself, I look forward to returning to the era where we learn to engage our minds fully in a book or piece of writing. This is how knowledge is best absorbed and understood. Thank you 😇

Thank you for reading! Do you currently use a reading app or some sort of tool, and if yes which one?

You are welcome Gigi.

No, I don't use an app or reading tool.

I simply follow the links that interest me on whatever platform they are shared.

Your piece was wonderfully synchronistic. I was mentally asking for a #nostr solution to this over the last few days.

If we activated one, and the plebs could easily understand how it worked and how to use it, I sincerely believe many more gifted thinkers/writers/ readers would share their ideas here. I would be first in the queue...

This is excellent. Really excited for this long-form space to develop. You laid out some great and actionable ideas and perspectives.

🙏🧡

🤙Thanks for amplifying what I’ve been dreaming about. 🔮🫂💜🔐 The Moment is perfect in this Time 🙏enjoyed reading it ⏳️ Time is precious don't waste it🕯💡⚡️

The whole time I was reading this, I was also thinking why wasn't this written on Nostr?

Another thought inspiring peice man.

Exciting times.

🤙

Can write stuff !

With nature > against nature 🎯

A question regarding your claim: “While today’s information jungle increasingly presents itself in the form of (short) videos and (long-form) audio, I believe that we will see a renaissance of the written word, especially if we manage to move away from an economy built around attention, towards an economy built upon value and insight.”

The economy built around value and insight could also be pushed via video and audio. When AI easily transforms all audio, video sound and text in your mother tongue why would text be the preferred medium for consumption? If we look at mass consumption of information we have always had text, video and sound. Most people on our planet mass consume video with sound these days. And sound when they need to do something repetitive that needs their video focus. Reading takes effort, you need to learn how to read before you can consume. In the future I would expect more and more people to consume video and/or sound, not text. Just see the transition from picture to video of most large platforms. Why would you expect it to shift towards the medium which costs most energy for the consumer? Reading simply costs more energy and the masses prefer to watch the news vs reading it… There might be a renaissance for the few, most likely not the many.
