nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft , somehow I’m supporting you 6 times 😂 😂 😂

absolute karnage

Who's reading The Sovereign Individual?

The frenemy of your frenemy isn't automatically your fren

ChatGPT has been neutered for mass market, you could have much more 'interesting' bots in principle

Same, I got many new followers while not posting anything. They all have 50-200 followers but no posts - pretty easy to spot for now. Next generation will have ChatGPT-generated convos amongst each other

You flatter me ser. But nah, looks like bots, they all have >100 followers but no posted notes

GM, checking into #nostr after a few days offline, and I have 50% new followers out of nowhere - have the bots arrived in full force? 🧐

Really, one "GM" should suffice

If #Bitcoin is the future, we can't have it be transacted mainly through captured devices. Much more freedom tech is required, especially a mobile phone (hardware + software) that doesn't require a PhD to set up

Engagement is the wrong metric

When money won't be able to be insidiously confiscated through inflation, the hope I've heard people express is that governments will curb their expenditures, because taxation is much more visible and highly unpopular.

Somewhat agree, but the past few years have shown us that governments are perfectly comfortable carrying out unpopular measures, and the hungry apparatus will likely seek to replace the lost funding through high taxation.

Good luck, it rambles on quite a bit - could only get myself to skim through it. The main thesis is pretty unconvincing to me, but the book does bring up a lot of interesting concepts that got me thinking, so I found some value in it.

I like the 'Explore' options on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, would be great if there was an option to build more custom feeds, such as with a union operator. For example, I would like to have a feed containing both "latest, my follows" and "trending, my network" . @`miljan`

I agree with the idea of personal responsibility as a keystone. It seems insufficient though. Somehow there also needs to be a kind of responsibility beyond yourself and your family, otherwise problems created by others (which you decided were not your responsibility) just fester and grow, and all of a sudden they're everyone's problem through sheer scale or magnitude.

For instance, the central bank is poisoning the economy and therefore society, but it's hard to see how personal responsibility could have stopped it from doing so.
