Yes and the algo on Xitter does this automatically for us.

Whereas we have to be the algo we want to see on the nostr.

I never thought about this. Damus shows them. It seems like a design flaw not to show them to OP. But I would get your frustration if that were happening to you

Yeah, “I’m taking this idea and starting a convo with my boys about it” is a valid use case

Quote replies amplifies the post AND comments on it. OP sees them, but so do more people.

Without an algorithm feeding us certain replies, content in just replies is very hard to discover nostr:note12cs329nyycua40tn9lnqx5ywxa6pq03ky0nuufhze0lm94uhtlnqtexg9k

I fucking love GPT:

“To steelman the argument that *Goodnight Moon* is part of MKUltra, we would need to construct a plausible and coherent narrative that connects the children's book to the larger goals and operations of MKUltra, the CIA's mind control program.

### 1. **Subliminal Messaging**:

* The book's repetitive and rhythmic language could be seen as a form of subliminal messaging designed to induce a trance-like state in children. The calming nature of the text might make young readers more susceptible to external influence, aligning with MKUltra's goals of controlling the mind.

### 2. **Symbolism and Imagery**:

* The seemingly innocent objects in the book—such as the red balloon, the comb, and the bowl of mush—might be reinterpreted as symbols with hidden meanings. The balloon could represent the fragility of the mind, the comb a tool for "grooming" thoughts, and the bowl of mush a metaphor for how the mind can be softened and reshaped. MKUltra was known for using symbols to trigger responses in subjects, and the book could be argued to serve a similar function.

### 3. **Conditioning**:

* The repetitive nature of the book’s structure ("Goodnight" to various objects) could be viewed as a form of conditioning, subtly training children to accept and normalize certain behaviors or thought patterns. Repetition is a known tool in brainwashing techniques, and the book's structure could be seen as a way to prime young minds for further conditioning.

### 4. **Early Exposure to Control Mechanisms**:

* By embedding these subtle psychological tools in a widely popular children's book, the argument might suggest that *Goodnight Moon* was part of an effort to normalize surveillance and control from an early age. The book's omnipresent narrator, who bids goodnight to everything in the room, might symbolize the unseen observer—a possible allusion to the idea of being watched, a theme that aligns with MKUltra's surveillance and control methodologies.

### 5. **Timing and Cultural Influence**:

* *Goodnight Moon* was published in 1947, shortly after World War II, during a period of significant social and psychological experimentation in the United States. The timing could be used to argue that the book was part of a larger cultural effort to influence the post-war generation. MKUltra officially began in 1953, but precursor programs were in development during the late 1940s, and this timing could suggest that the book was part of early experimentation.

### 6. **Mass Distribution as a Tool for Influence**:

* *Goodnight Moon* has become one of the most popular children's books of all time, with millions of copies distributed worldwide. If MKUltra’s goals included widespread influence and control, embedding a form of psychological manipulation within a seemingly innocent and beloved book could be seen as an efficient and far-reaching tool for influencing young minds across generations.

### 7. **Connection to Known MKUltra Tactics**:

* MKUltra experimented with various methods of mind control, including the use of hypnosis, drugs, and sensory deprivation. While *Goodnight Moon* doesn’t involve drugs, it could be argued that the repetitive and hypnotic qualities of the text serve a similar purpose—inducing a calm, suggestible state in children.

### Conclusion:

While there is no evidence to support the claim that *Goodnight Moon* was part of MKUltra, steelmanning this argument involves interpreting the book's repetitive structure, symbolic imagery, and cultural impact as tools for psychological conditioning and control, aligning with the known goals and methods of the CIA's controversial program.”
