Hello. I go by The Archiver. I’ve been lurking on Nostr since the beginning, and finally decided it’s time to actually post.

I’m mainly going to be sharing things I’ve written—micro-essays, thought fragments, and maybe the occasional short story. My work explores modernity, social dynamics, and the actualization of the individual, among other things. I welcome critique and counter-arguments, and I won’t hesitate to offer my own.

I’m not here to be another Dopamine or Cortisol dealer. I write because I want to improve the situation for humanity (and the rest of life) on this planet. This is what I can do to further that. Human beings have tremendous power and potential. It’s time we learned to wield our power with wisdom and clarity, to create a world that serves us, not the other way around. I hope that my work can be part of that process.

Posts may be infrequent. I won’t publish anything until it’s ready to be seen.

A question for you, should you choose to answer: What do you think is the greatest problem that humanity faces right now?

welcome to nostr! 💜 (or posting to nostr)

i think the greatest problem humanity faces is centralization

Hello and thank you 😄. I'm glad to be here and glad I've already met someone. As to your answer, I think it's interesting how one's perspective towards centralization as a principle generally betrays their underlying emotional state. If one is driven to live their life primarily by fear, they tend to want to look toward centralized, organized structures for a sense of security. But for others, like myself and perhaps you as well judging by your answer, we feel that those structures strangle and eventually destroy the chaotic essence of life, so we see them as problems instead.

i am unable to zap you, is there an issue on your end? ⚡

I made a few adjustments. I think it should be good now. If you try again, let me know what happens.

i tried waiting a few minutes and restarting amethyst, but i'm getting an error still

"Could not fetch invoice from https://getalby.com/lnurlp/bluesupport292501/callback: Bad Request - The server can't or won't process the request."

Looks like something got seriously screwed up somewhere along the line. Long story short, I didn't copy my seed phrase down correctly, there was a mismatch between my profile's npub and the one set in Alby somehow, so I had to make a whole new profile. Try zapping this one? I appreciate the help.

same issue, but it's entirely possible it could be my side

are you using WoS in some way? i can't zap people using that

also try posting with #checkmyaddy and #testzap to see if someone can zap you, but just not me
