This is the core insight I gained from combing the insights from ‘The Case Against Reality’ by Douglas Hoffman and ‘Spontaneous Order’ by Chase Rachels

IMHO, this as profound as when Martin Luther made the statement that faith was only present between man and his god, and no intervening institution (like the Catholic Church) was required. That insight kicked off the Reformation and gave rise to the individualism that we know today. nostr:note1a93z6tcxw7f0gf039gy4hhz9758jfyuquuqhsqy3rgu4xqypuvwq40z4fg

Really simple - you generate your own private key - the nsec. That is the core of a ‘digital self’ that has been largely missing in the digital platform architecture until it was introduced by bitcoin. It’s now the same for nostr - nobody controls your npub- you do.
