I am on a consciousness reading tear.

Always on the lookout for useful concepts that I can apply.

The simple idea I am working with, that we as conscious entities need a protocol to communicate intention to another without it being hijacked. So far I see #nostr filling that bill.

Same, it's a facilitating topic.

And agreed nostr for sovereign comms.

Provable identity and non imitate-able with secured keys.

*fascinating

You are going to want to hear some of the concepts in this video.

Thanks. I'll have a listen!

This is excellent!! I would not have found it were not for this post, 🙏

I recommend watching about 80 to 90% of that YouTube channel. It's all very fascinating. Especially as it relates to Bitcoin and it's energy needs.

The thesis I am formulating is that now we have protocols that can reliably extend our conscious agency without being hijacked:

1) Proof of Work to transmit subjective value

2) Private Keys to transmit subjective experience.

After decades of iteration, we've landed on two protocols that do the above: bitcoin and nostr.

Not to say this will be the final iteration, but for me, as an engineer (not a scientist), it's good enough to go all in on building solutions, which I am with #nostr #safebox.

I am taking the Satoshi approach: code first, pontificate later..

But language itself is a virus. Also, how can you know your intention outside the intention-altering of language?
