Nostr is proof that even when you remove oversight from human interaction, nothing really changes.

human oversight is even you proof when that from really changes. Nostr remove interaction, nothing
People are people, for the last 4 thousand years, we haven’t really changed. Same emotions and pains, but we got better tech.
There is a lot more ancient lost knowledge than our egos let us acknowledge. Our ancestors were not "primitive" after ancient babylon.
I'm not even convinced bitcoin was the first solution to the byzantine generals problem; it just seems to be the first one in written history.
Ohh dude. Telepathy is awesome… at least we have Nostr.
Yet most people feel the need of a leader and a judge.
I think it has to do with human evolution, Nostr is the most evolved social system on earth. Most of humanity does not match up to Nostrs level of sophistication. I think it is ok to say that, and to be disappointed in everyone who 'does not get it'.
Bitcoin bridges that gap IMO. We had 2 choices before: competition, or shared trust/faith. Bitcoin is a 3rd option.
People don’t feel the “need” of a leader or a judge, most of the time people don’t have the willingness to be responsible and/or have the power and connections to be in those roles those roles.
The use of Nostr, as of today implies the user has certain level of education, interest and patience to set it up. Because it’s clearly harder than making a tick-tock/google/instagram account, where everything works well the majority of the time.
That proof of work, to make a Nostr key pair, with the lack of general content compared to other social networks, are the reason why adoption lacks.
When you said “most of humanity doesn’t MATCH…” I felt that should be considered in the opposite way, what doesn’t yet match is the protocol and clients to the needs and responsibilities that most users have or are willing to take.
I don't think everyone is created equal. Do you?
Depends what you mean by created… generally I see the uniqueness in people.
I mean that in an evolutionary sense, not everyone has the capacity to do more difficult things.
I think is not about the capacity of people, even though that is an important factor.
Take the email protocol as an example, it would have been extremely difficult to see it so massively expanded as it it today, when the protocol was starting to being used in the 80’s.
The technology was adapted, and that created massive adoption, outside geeks and nerds, with high capabilities.
Yeah. But I think adoption is not the most important goal. It is quite nice, in fact, that the influencers and mass is not here.
Anarchy - rules without rulers.
