Direct realist, individualist, libertarian, dove. Trying to overcome my biases.

You’re probably better off not seeing it. However, one of its premises is that dreaming is experiencing the life of an alternate self in a parallel universe.

I’m an anarchist, but agree with only half of that. If most people were unable to rule themselves passably, there wouldn’t be 8 billion of them on earth, poverty wouldn’t be diminishing, the light wouldn’t turn on when you flip the switch, etc. The problems with ruling other people are lack of knowledge, and poor incentives.

For a while I’ve suspected that psychological shortcomings undermine support for libertarian ideas. 😏 My hypothesis, however, was that the main problem was fear and anger, and that cognitive behavioral therapy would help. #freespeech #psychology #libertarianism

Data-mining the General Social Survey finds that support for free speech (even for disliked groups and ideas) is predicted by cognitive ability, emotional intelligence, and intellectual humility.

Blame her for misinforming the public about drugs, but to my knowledge she was never responsible for putting anyone in prison. We can’t say the same for her husband.

Your posts would be broadcasted to one more relay. (Their filter relay can rebroadcast to a dozen or so popular relays that you’re probably already posting to.)

Nostr’s decentralized design is censorship-resistant.

Nostr allows me to have an anonymous account, but my posts are cryptographically verified.

This is more about Nostr clients, but Nostr users can send Bitcoin to one another through the Lightning Network.

“The new app works just like Tornado Cash, but when users click the option to withdraw funds, they can generate a zero-knowledge proof which publicly shows they are not using a criminal blockchain address, but without revealing who they are.” #ethereum #crypto #mixing #privacy

I’m already following her and #[3]​, but I’m waiting for the Reason Rat.

It depends on the client. Damus doesn’t directly support adding images yet. Users have to upload an image to a site like nostr.build, which will provide a link that can be embedded in a post.

In the US, the Family and Medical Leave Act requires employers with >= 50 employees to provide 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave. Some US employers provide paid leave of varying duration, even more provide generalized paid time off which parents can use.
