Often the innovation that was the printing press gets rolled out as an inflection point in history

Why? Power to the people. Of course. But what if those machines got corrupted?

It struck me today that Nostr has the potential to be something just as important

With a populace now largely literate, & internet access improving, digital censorship-resistance is a massive proposition

No doubt it’s a critical piece of the puzzle in the sound money (Bitcoin) enabled digital renaissance

Once upon a time you had to be a priest to have permission to read the word of god. Printing press took that away from them.

Bitcoin and Nostr are a continuation of this trend, removing tools of control and allowing people to have a level of self determination.

“Self-determination”

Great phrase. Ie you can figure things out for yourself

Which makes me then think: fostering skills for information analysis then decision making is key
