2 industries which crucially require a lot more focus:

- Media

- AI & Tech

We’ve already seen how they’re buying out social media platforms, and paying influencers millions to shift the narrative their way.

That’s why media is so important. Probably the most important of all in shaping hearts and minds (propaganda and manipulation)

AI and tech is shaping societies (surveillance state, digital prisons).

However these are all just tools.

Tools that can be used by anyone.

You have the power to create your own media empire with things you use (most likely waste time on) every day.

Switch doom scrolling to content creation.

Similarly, AI, software and tech is now more accessible than it’s ever been.

It just requires time, energy and effort to learn and create.

If you’re going to start a side hustle or build a business, but have no idea what to do or where to start, centre it around these 2 industries.

Even if you have started already, whatever your industry is, both of these need to be implemented.

Other than trying to learn how to use AI to create website, N8N for automations…

…I’m now also exploring decentralised social media tech directly:

I’ve now set up on Nostr - this being my first post on here.

Social media was the antidote against traditional media in democratising free speech, and blocking against propaganda manipulation.

They’re now at a stage where they’re way more dangerous than mainstream media - but you’re at the whims of nefarious private organisations and shadow agencies.

The protection against this is a decentralised protocol for social networking and communication like Nostr.

That doesn’t mean forgoing the current social media platforms, as lots of work needs to be done on them.

It does mean building on something where you can’t be banned, restricted or censored because someone decides they don’t like what you say.

I’ve downloaded Primal and Damus on iPhone. Primal appears to have the better user interface thus far.
