The thing I realized is that (hidden or visible) hierarchy causes zero-sum competition. That why you see the cutthroat competition in the normal marketplace because everyone is taking away from each other.
In contrast, #nostr is promoting unity without hierarchy. You’ll find other people who do things differently/better than you - that’s ok - you just figure out a different way to contribute to the unity.
No hierarchy.
No reason to zero-sum each other.
Let’s keep it that way.
This is #nostr

In that zero-sum different way things each the you way.

Unity without hierarchy is a wonderful ideal!
I was brought up in this type of environment. I just thought it was obvious to everyone. Apparently not.
So was I. I've struggled all my adult life in what feels like an alien environment. Your point aligns with what nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyecpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqug4hxr explains, which gives me a lot of hope for the future
The primary source of zero sum competition isn’t hierarchy, but a broken media of exchange
… co-opted by a hierarchy…
The good kind (bottom up) of hierarchy emerges when individuals are incentivized to naturally come together in a division of labor that promotes mutually beneficial exchange. This the productive result of sound money circulating as the general media of exchange. The legacy system is the bad kind (top down) and uses force to dictate terms of trade. Pricing distortions ripple through the system until most are consumers and few are producers
Excellent insight. I heard an interesting comment a couple of weeks ago, that global trade is now dominated by an ‘over-consumer’ and an ‘over-producer’. You can guess who they are.
Oh 100%. I feel like Bitcoin and drones are the two most powerful tools we have to even the score and empower the individual
Why drones?
$500 vs $2.1M per engagement.
Sounds like drones have come a long way since the piece of shot I crashed on top of a storage unit 10 years ago. Got any recommendations for making/buying one to practice with (for non-lethal engagements of course)
I bought all the parts from Amazon. If you have a 3d printer to print the frame, it’s under $500 for a fast yet durable ghost drone (under 250 grams- no broadcast module required). It’s super easy, I just asked my ai for a drone with those parameters and it gave me the individual parts to buy. I fed back in the parts from my cart to my ai to be sure the components work together (important for battery ratings especially). I’ll be sure to post a video of my first flight in the next couple weeks
Amazing
That’s bang-on. I have it on good authority that military doctrine is being written as we speak. The days of irregulars running around and boarding flights with IEDs is over.
