Just finished watching The Social Dilemma, and it makes me more excited than ever about nostr. There are lots of ways nostr might actually make the problem worse, but if we can do a good job of putting the user at the center of digital systems, and designing those systems humanely, we might be able to provide a huge missing piece of the puzzle. Most of the solutions at the end of the movie depended on collective action, on outlawing advertising-based business models, enforcing policy to protect kids, etc. Some of that may be necessary, but I'm excited to be part of the very small group of technologists who are trying to do something about these problems, on our own terms, and in a way that preserves freedom and individual agency for society as a whole.

horror movie?
I listened to Citadel Dispatch with Jack, and I found what Jack was saying about the user experience so pertinent. I really want to use Nostr, but the experience seems slow and uninintuitive. I mostly use FreeFrom and Coracle on an android device.

In Spiral Dynamics, the levels oscillate from collective to individual. Many in the West have reached Green, which look for collective solutions. The next level is Yellow, which oscillates back to individual solutions, and is finally able to integrate the solutions from the other levels. I’m hoping there are enough in our society reaching the Autonomous level that we can integrate and move past the Communitarian Level.
Very interesting, spural dynamics is a new term for me. I looked it up and am interested to learn more
