👋🏻 I’m Justin and I draw pictures that turn complex ideas into powerfully simple visual metaphors. I’ve recently come to understand that I’m autistic and I attribute many of my strengths—an ability to hold dualities, the insatiable pursuit of knowledge, a deep connection to nature, sensitivity (in so many ways), and foresight—to this neurodivergence.

Welcome to Nostr Justin 🤙

i dig it!

Welcome to Nostr! Check out my memes if you want 😁

Welcome to Nostr!

Feel free to follow me if you like any of these subjects: I'm a soundscape musician, write about Philosophy, Bitcoin, Nostr, Gaming, Anime, and regularly post homemade memes.

Welcome!

Few things you should know:

1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients

2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people

3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly

4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt t

5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev for most people

have fun!

Welcome Justin!

Welcome. Have you heard about aphantasia?

Yes and I find it fascinating!

I wonder if autistic folks’ tendencies toward poor interoception might give the impression of a higher level of aphantasia, even if the capacity for clear visuals would otherwise be there… like having a 4k television with spotty reception.

This article presents some evidence for it being at least partly related to signal vs noise between the pre-frontal cortex and visual cortex. Fascinating indeed. https://aphantasia.com/article/science/shocking-insights/

Welcome Justin! 🤙

Looking forward to seeing nice visual metaphors. I think there is a nice place for that here. Followed!
