There is an old tree outside where I live, and I have seen them standing ontop of it as well. Interesting to know that there is some common behavior shared between them!
I've been awake for two hours, and I haven't yet started any work.. I feel so unproductive. But now I will change that!
Due to joining this new community I'm being subjected to new things that I hadn't put much thought and time into before (like crypto and lightning).. I feel like there is some kind of expectation or common-mindedness developed, probably rightfuly so, however I can't help but feel myself adapting and changing as a result (setting up a wallet and zapping), and I don't know where it leads. Maybe I just overthink things, or worry too much. Maybe all of it doesn't really matter as much as I'd like to think that it does. Like why am I even writing this? It is starting to not make any sense to me the more I think about it and the more I write things like this- I need to find a way to use this thing better or I shouldn't use it at all. 😮
Nostr is causing me to conform to new systems through peer pressure and the desire to fit in. I'm aware of the process, but what do I do?
Also if only Zaps are promoted, that is like saying that you must buy a person's attention or gain attention through monetary means. That is a bit odd to me.
Yeah, but isn't that dehumanizing when you frame it that way? I feel it is kind of the wrong way to view these things if we're talking about a person's psychological needs.
I doubt attention seekers are looking for likes, lol. Attention seekers seek attention, whatever form that is.
I usually try to make an effort to respond to everyone. Sometimes I don't see people's replies though due to bugs or issues with the nostr clients (I think?). But yeah, makes things more human when you get more than just a like, but then it gets to a point where I don't know when to stop responding, and I get self-conscious.. like I am currently feeling as this reply gets longer and longer.. I begin wondering if I'm just talking to hear myself talking.. 😶
Thanks for the help! #[4]
I'm still trying to figure out where my corner of this place is and what relevant posts I should be making.
I just lost my following list.. why does it happen?
How come I can't see who I am following? 🤔
Yeah- that information will be interesting to see.. I'm sure those studies will come in time, once the a.i. stuff is widely used.
Well, it's not all that different from feeding society with information, and having a consensus developed. It's just a new way of delivering that information and handling it in a world where there is information overload. There will still be people who choose to disagree with it, because that's part of human nature and the pursuit of understanding. A.i. isn't going to magically mind-control us, fortunately. We will still have to learn to think for ourselves, and question reality- perhaps even moreso now.
