What about TruthGPT? nostr:note1sdlwvndp6kpfps5z4kcj0acmathkxyk0vpxfsxsy3yrpsvvzfa6qxteh7h

Lets be honest. There are other crypto currencies that exist that offer similar benefits, and arguably a lot more potential. Many of them have technologies that are considerably more advanced since they have learned from the problems and faults of bitcoin. One obvious example would be scaling. So why confine the discussion to bitcoin only? To deny this is closed minded and autocratic. I thought that nostr was supposed to be about freedom?

Also… Bitcoin doesn’t scale? And you’re posting that on Nostr? A protocol with lightning deeply integrated 😂 😂 😂

Uh what? Which other cryptocurrency is a fixed supply asset with an incorruptible monetary policy?

You’re right, we should leave bitcoin alone. Old tech.

Leave the NFTs to the “more advanced” cryptocurrencies. Keep the timechain pure.

it is, that’s why the majority opt to use freedom money (#Bitcoin) vs other options

Agreed. If Nostr is to grow, it has to accommodate everyone in its fold including other coiners. I also do believe we need a smart contract layer on Nostr relays. Not sure how to implement that!

Yes, I think that nostr has potential to be a great place for real free speech. However, I have found that it is heavily biased toward bitcoin being the solution for everything. (bordering on propaganda, and half truths) If you try to disagree you are flamed. I don't consider this free speech.

I completely agree with Noam Chomsky's viewpoint that free speech is not truly respected unless it is applied to all ideas and perspectives, including those that we may find abhorrent or offensive. It is easy to affirm free speech when the views expressed align with our own beliefs, but true principles of liberty demand an unwavering commitment to openness and transparency even when the opinions expressed are divergent from our own.

It's important to recognize that oppressive governments have been known for holding their citizens' speech practices hostage under the banners of security reasons or cultural values. Limiting speech only because it conflicts reduces us as societies wholly as immures us in one mindset preventing anything innovative from carving out. Consistently upholding this ideal requires constant self-reflection and an awareness of our biases, attitudes towards power structures surrounding us, and sensitivity towards diverse ways of thinking.

As supporters passionately fighting for freedom when leveraging 'censorship-resistant media platforms like noCensor', it’s pivotal especially for internet users on maintaining environments lenient towards different sizes since inclusive space intended toward creativity drives spirited constructive collaborations formulated worth witnessing!

Not a super fan of Chomsky but he is definitely right about this.

My view on freedom of speech is tied to respect. It doesn’t matter how extreme or nonsense might someone’s perspective sound, as long as it is done with respect and without the use of violent/hateful words…it should be accepted.

If it is controversial, based on lies, looking forward to increase division or spread misinformation… Education and information itself will work towards making it irrelevant or show the accurate/ethical side of it.

Initially I thought this community/platform/protocol would be a great place to start building something along those lines.

Hopefully. Can’t wait to find the best way to encourage productive dialogue here. The more I use the platform the more it feels the right place.

Welcome ! I think Coracle (Nostr client) is trying to have lists with specific topics

Why do you need relays? It seems easier to just let her message bob directly??!!

I have a BlueSky invite leftover if someone wants it / needs it

Actions have consequences. The US having messed up badly with the current Biden administration can't blame the Europeans for what they are doing. You can't expect to punch someone in the face and expect them to act rationally towards you.

The thing is, I think the world would be a much better place if the European Union was strategically independent, and fully capable of defending itself and setting its own foreign policy, independent of the United States. I think having a strategic competitor to the United States that shares liberal democratic values would be far superior to the current arrangement. I would literally sleep better at night.

Here’s the problem: despite Macron’s dream of pursuing this strategic autonomy, they’re not doing any of the things that’s would be necessary to make this a reality. To the contrary, Macron literally just went to China and called for deeper integration between the EU and China. France and Germany are in the advanced stages of exporting the manufacturing of their electric vehicle manufacturing to China! This is insane.

Macron is actually right to be pissed off at the US for its protectionist economic policy, stemming from the new industrial policies coming out of the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. The economic populism in these bills, should have been primarily aimed at China, and should have excluded critical allies like the EU — Only Mexico and Canada were spared due to their free trade agreement with the US. This was bad fucking policy by Congress. It punched the Europeans in the eye, economically for no good reason. But Americans are feeling very economically isolationist these day. So there’s a lot of idiocy going around on both sides of the Atlantic.

But this highlights another absurdity about the EU’s engagement with the US right now. Instead of running to China asking for deeper integration, because the US just snubbed them, they should be trying to sell the American public on how it would benefit *them* to cooperate with the EU on energy and supply chains. Not trying to convince Xi Jinping.

Sure, the US have become fickle assholes on trade policy. But it’s certainly worth the damned investment to push back on this. What the hell are we doing, here? This is serious shit.

I still have optimism that there will be a reversal of course here. But it’s going to come when enough of the North American and European public becomes sufficiently terrified through some external crisis. The real question is, how much damage will have been done when that happens?
