I AM THE ORIGINAL REVOLTA. Original band Sweet Noise. Current project MTvoid with Justin Chancellor of Tool. I make NOISE and experimental art - NOISE INC. Sovereign Human Being. On NOSTR since 835520 #relaythat Pronouns : npub/nsec Check my noise experimental project : https://wavlake.com/noise-inc- My visual notes: https://glaca.npub.pro

It is important I think to know who the investors in this cyber/digital era are. Feels so weird indeed to use all the software and hardware and not really know where they originated from. Wish I paid attention at math lessons..and now when I'm fascinated by it, I realize that I used to hate it.

Claude Shannon, who single-handedly founded the field of Information Theory, invented the concept of a Bit, and was the first to think about Boolean algebra in the context of electrical circuits. He laid the foundation for the Digital Revolution.

RESPECT 🫡.

I should have put this in a different way may be. On Nostr zaps and likes blend to a degree but on IG 20000 likes is like "whatever".

People on the front lines of these protests have a fucking better sense of fashion than all those celebs. Just look at those two pics...it's fake vs real.

Dig into this thread.

Currency of the Web.

Likes vs Views vs Zaps.

The Zap ⚡️ symbol is genius. Even the smallest zaps always make me smile. It's not about sats really but about the energy that someone puts into digesting my contribution to platform like #nostr

It is a freaking game changer.

Last time I played a gig and we made an artist photo afterwards. The amount of likes under the Instagram post was huge! It made me think about what those likes really represent and it is obviously a low effort click. When compared to a bunch of plebs zapping your note this thousands likes seem so meaningless for me.

Yeah. It's a tough climb up to the top. I'm with you.

BE TECH LITERATE.

IT'S NOT AN OPTION.

IT'S A MUST.

ARROGANCE AND CLOSED MIND ARE THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON STATE, WITH NO WAY OUT.

NOT PREPARING FOR THE CYBER AGE IS LIKE KNOWING THAT A MONSTROUS TORNADO IS COMING AND DOING NOTHING.

GO STEP BY STEP, DON'T RUSH IT. WHEN SHIT HITS THE FAN IT'LL BE TOO LATE TO LEARN AND PROBABLY YOU'LL BE LEFT TOO FAR BEHIND.

THIS.

Most of us see that CBDCs are prone to even greater abuse of power. But how do we explain this to normies (once we know devices aren’t within earshot — good luck)?

I usually ask if there is someone in the family or a friend who is a loose cannon or can’t seem to stop getting into trouble. Imagine your access to money you earned being inaccessible because of something they say or do that is not within your control. Just because you are related or have a message from them or your metadata is linked. Now pile on AI digging up the past.

That’s a possible direction this is going. It can further divide humanity at an unimaginable rate — if we allow it. Or we can opt into our own decentralized network as much as possible.

Cryptographers and computer scientists have been warning of this for decades. Privacy is a fundamental human right and CBDCs will allow the exploit of data as a mechanism of control. History rhymes and those with power and control tend to abuse it, causing suffering at scale and stagnating human potential.

We know this but Normies are just getting through work days and enjoying their programming boxes / shopping sprees / nights out on the town. Most of them will likely have to learn through the experience of suffering, which is the most brutal but effective teacher. It is the game of this place. We cannot fix things for others but we can be a beacon when they are ready. In the meantime, we get to experience our inner and outer world of choice.

Buckle up. Because things are moving so quickly in the age of technology that this experiment will play out harder and faster. The weird will escalate until enough wakeup.

To flourish, humans need freedom to create, not monetary enslavement. Stay wild, be courageous, and build the tools. We have already won just by being here now.

I give different examples derived from programmability of CBDC

1. Imagine your money/tokens/having expiry date. End of month and account is blank. No saving allowed.

2. You might be subjected to spending money within certain parameter of your house. Let's say 50 km. That is total control of movement.

This in most cases make the heads turn and question is how.

The idea that electronic cash can be programmed centrally with total easy is kinda easy for everyone to grasp which doesn't mean that normies take any steps to prepare themselves.

Few do.
