I have thought often about the point you’re making. How much of “personality” (emergent complex behaviour) is shaped by a system built on theft where some people win at the expense of others versus what that behaviour would look like in a system based on truth?

It’s the win/lose paradigm which mandates that in order for a few to win, many must lose. Nostr is demonstrating the win/win paradigm through the current zapping trend. If I think that Nostr will benefit me, I reward others so that they’re encouraged to participate in helping to build the protocol. Then they do the same. Zap, zap, zap. Everybody wins.

I often think about whether greed is the resulting behavior of a system built on theft, and would greed thrive in the new system.
