Can anyone provide a link for one to learn more about Nostr's Moderated Communities?

A new way of understanding that makes more sense to me: “The notion that selection for function drives evolution applies equally to stars, atoms, minerals, and many other conceptually equivalent situations where many configurations are subjected to selective pressure."

I too am gaining followers. I don't think it is relays, but I don't have explanation.
There may be some connection between SBF, Elizabeth Holmes, the Stanford / Silicon Valley dysfunctional mindset and the gravity of alleged crimes? Careful what you believe, you might act on it.

I am accumulating a number of new followers lately who has not yet posted anything or replied to anything. Is there anyway to tell if these followers are bots of some sort?

What options remain when one doesn’t agree with the policy agenda of those authorized to execute an agenda? The option I choose is gossip.

Those that want to advance a narrative need control of the instruments to convey a narrative. Thank you nostr.

People are awakening to the false belief that has been instilled by persistent instruction that there exists some powerful authority able to administer true justice. Indignation creates a political will and power that exceeds anything to do with truth. I don’t believe it has ever been different or ever will be different. What we share as injustice creates injustice as as it creates the persistent narrative of true justice.

Maybe not. It seems like there are many reasonable things to beleive about what is happening.
Do you believe someone should be authorized and empowered to tell you what to believe? The ruling class does.
Do you believe someone should be authorized and empowered to tell you what to believe? The ruling class does.
If you think someone should be authorized to identify and formally re-education cult members, then you can not be my friend. If you act to authorize such, you will become my enemy.

If there is a place where we 'need to go', I too am sure we will get there together. But I don't think it will be deliberately.
I have been taught that if a desired behavior is provided by intelligence, it is not a process of evolution. When a population continues to thrive in a novel ’niche’, that is a unintended consequence not a design intent. They say “The design pipeline starts with a randomly configured simulated robot and optimizes its structure . . . .’ They should have said the design pipeline starts with the declaration of desired behavior to be fulfilled by the design? That is not how evolution proceeds.
Do you believe evolution occurs to fulfill a desired behavior intelligently and purposefully? The scenarios in this report begin with intent and intelligence. I think there may be something to learn here. I do believe it tells us more about human technology targeting desired behavior than populations selected by survival. The danger of people using technology is in deciding which behavior is desirable.
What say you?

Things change seems to also be an applicable moral to this story.
People embrace antiracism, antisexism, antitransphobia, global warming, war on nazis, the establish institutions of global finance etc, etc. in order to earn ruling class points. They forget to ask themselves ‘what will be the point system of the next ruling class’?

Some reporting makes more sense to me than other, but I don’t know whether it has anything to do with whether people believe it. I am finding it interesting that alternate media is becoming more widely read and trusted by growing populations.
These things don’t happen randomly, but we should not assume that they happen intelligently or with intent.

What ChatGPT returned about parallels between culture and biofilms when considering their impact on human beings and societies:
Adherence and Persistence: Just as microorganisms in a biofilm adhere to surfaces and persist, cultures can become deeply ingrained in the lives of individuals and communities. People often adopt the values, beliefs, and practices of their culture and pass them down through generations, creating a strong sense of continuity and identity.
1. Protective Matrix: Similar to the extracellular polymeric substances that protect microorganisms in a biofilm, culture provides a protective framework for individuals within a society. It offers a set of norms, rules, and shared understandings that guide behavior and interactions, providing a sense of security and order.
2. Diversity within Unity: Biofilms can contain diverse microorganisms that work together within the same matrix. Similarly, cultures often encompass diverse groups of people with varying backgrounds, yet they can coexist and contribute to the overall fabric of a society. This diversity can lead to cultural richness and innovation.
3. Resistance to Change: Both biofilms and cultures can exhibit resistance to external forces that seek to disrupt them. Cultures can resist external influences and change, which can be both an advantage for preserving tradition and a challenge when adaptation is needed.
4. Adaptation and Evolution: While biofilms adapt to changing environmental conditions, cultures also evolve over time. They can absorb elements from other cultures and adapt to new circumstances, demonstrating flexibility and resilience.
Does anyone have other things they can share about the parallels between biofilm and culture?

NBC, losing the narrative, reports how the silly people in Slovakia believe the wrong things seemingly without understanding that what people believe causes change, not their intelligence nor intent.
