Indeed, algorithms are societal mind control.

I feel much less stressed out and angry since shutting down all of my prior social media accounts, other than #nostr.

I donโ€™t miss them at allโ€ฆ not even a little bit.

Although unplugging from them (especially X) felt like breaking off a powerful addiction.

Shout out to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for the insight while I was still stuck in the matrix.

And zapping (even just an itty bit) is so much better than a generic like

We just need more non Bitcoin accounts here and we've made it... Miss my fitness and finance follows

I want to know what's going on in the world, but not in an algorithmic way.

It's a simple life... But one worth fighting for

Algorithms are modern witchcraft spells. Hidden and secretive incantations (code) designed to warp reality.

>> Shout out to @jack for the insight while I was still stuck in the matrix.

Anticipating unknown unknowns

I think what I'll want is a paid service provider that will AI train off nostr notes, updated nightly, live search to current...then provide me a plugin in my app of choice that allows me to UI tune what I want and converts that to proper ai prompt/model giving me a resulting feed type category shortcut just for me. It might be a feed based on content starting from a single note, or account, or let's me bookmark samples, and maybe I can mix in a mood setting like 'positive' or 'alarming' or 'deep dive'. Basically I want to be able create my own algorithms that turn into feeds.

It's amazing how outrage can become our identity, to the point where it hurts to abandon that identity.

Iโ€™m be not been back since I started here and Iโ€™ve never missed it. Iโ€™m going to

miss these early days, one day

It is the only way I know what is going on in the world. Perhaps that is no longer needed. Guaranteed if my savings is more than I need I will sever my connection to the fiat financial world and attempt to work or consume only on native Bitcoin. At that point, if I physical protection, I guess nothing else really matters that I don't get directly exposed to.

All my โ€œstress freeโ€ accounts to follow moved here. Miss you guys! ๐Ÿ‘

Only arguments and doom on X.

Will have to experiment more around here.

Welcome!

I am much more relaxed here too. I feel much more like I am selecting things to think about rather than having them pushed into my head.

Good way of saying it; I feel the same way

that's power

This makes my Frankie ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Smile ๐Ÿ˜Š

Dude, stop saying yes and what are you saying yes to what are you saying yes to me you keep saying yes yes what are you saying it to and what about and what are you trying to get me to agree with you? nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

so you only care about bitcoiner stuff? because you won't find a lot of relevant news or newsmakers here. Example : RFK Jr or Vivek or even Tucker. to name a few. Also not many scientists here or people discussing geopolitics

They will come.

Itโ€™s still (very) early days here on #nostr.

Glad you're here Bro. ๐Ÿ‘Š

Sometimes I miss the "news" from X but I think its also to just not give a shit what's going on in the world for a few weeks and just heal up.

๐Ÿ‘Š

maybe, but in the meantime, are you totally uninformed?

You can say you don't care, but some level of none Bitcoin/Nostr news seems relevant to me.

X is still relevant to me. Hard to replace with Nostr only

It depends what you mean by โ€œtotally uninformed.โ€

I still get the info I want to get, and am unencumbered by much nonsense and hype that others consider to be โ€œnews.โ€

I know it can be a chicken and egg thing

I had the same experience when I left Facebook a few years back. The only entertainment I got there was being wished a happy birthday on the incorrect day.

This is what being an

To find the part of myself

Hidden from everyone

And choose to feel

Emotions that Iโ€™d rather

Keep carefully hidden

For curation of a life

Is love and caring of others

You should be unattractive

Iโ€™m with you though I do kind of miss the macro insights of Felix Jauvin and Quinn Thompson

The trivium can be an anti-virus for mind control. nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l I genuinely wonder how many people have ever received any formal training in logic and cognitive biases. These are the tricks they use to use to control the mind. If the algorithms can learn, so can we.

Assuming nostr is just the platform! Which app do you use? Which algorithm you plugged to say which content comes up?
