Looks like he’s contemplating if he wants sweet pie or chicken rings.

Very cool experience being able to interact with those creatures like that.

We can learn so much about reality and ourselves interacting with other beings.

They can even learn to engage with our ritualized behaviors, like fist bumps, waving hello, shaking hands etc. and in proper context. Highly intelligent.

Very much on my mind lately, how to quantify, assign and verify reputation and trust. My intuition is that it would be based on some form of voluntary hierarchy. nostr:npub1yxp7j36cfqws7yj0hkfu2mx25308u4zua6ud22zglxp98ayhh96s8c399s talks about the possibility of having a “celebrity”judge being selected by two parties in advance of a trade or transaction who could settle a dispute for a fee by signing with private key.

nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 and other known figures are essentially already trusted and verified in the Nostr community. Those who are newer, not as active or unverified in meat space have a lot of work to do to get there. It seems like having some sort of system where a known identity can “vouch” for an as yet unknown identity at some point could help to expand the community and create a more trustworthy marketplace.

For example, if nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 as a “hierarch” in Nostr was able to “vouch” that nostr:npub12q87f7a9tlph7g659cecwfjzqprkec3ygdzh70667v5mr9m9z86qa8pdgs is a real person and not a bot or scammer and this was public, weighted and accessible then nostr:npub12q87f7a9tlph7g659cecwfjzqprkec3ygdzh70667v5mr9m9z86qa8pdgs would be able to participate more fully in the Nostr ecosystem as trusted member. Obviously this would have to be done very carefully and reputations would be at stake. I imagine a number of techniques could be employed to accomplish this and some well known “Hierarchs” would emerge that would specialize in this. Essentially what Murray Rothbard talks about in his book about how a libertarian legal system would function absent a central authority. Anyone have any thoughts?

Listening to audiobook of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a “Broken Money” it is excellent, Informative and brilliant nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev Does an great job with narration. I’m going to have to get a digital copy or physical copy to highlight and study the content in more detail. It inspires so many thoughts and opens up new concepts.
