I increasingly believe that true wealth lies solely in sovereignty.

To what extent are you sovereign? How much control do you genuinely wield within your local, regional, and national governments?

Trust in truth. Truth always gets farther than lies.

#bitcoin #nostr

Right on.

And it's just generally much more efficient for everything in general.

Is there already an uncensorable relay indexer/list? An uncensorable relay of relays?

Phenomenal! thanks!

Hello #nostr,

Anybody interested in joining a group or movement to get people from Reddit to join Nostr?

I'm so tired of all the Reddit mini-dictators... That model is dead, it will never work for the community. We need better tools.

Yes, I agree with that statement. It currently helps me or in other words, I try to think about things in the order described in the post. Free speech, non-agression, voluntaryism. That's the gist of my philosophy.

And thus I of course understand and absolutely sympathise with how some people think ideas are mixed up in the end. For example, some libertarians are libertarians because they are Christian and thus they believe in the individuality of man as a right that comes from God. Natural rights. And that's fine too. Why wouldn't it be? If we reach the same conclusions and act in the same way, is there really a difference, in a libertarian context?

A part of me also thinks it's all mixed up in the end. I mean, what do I really know about anything? In other words, people came to the same conclusions from different places. And that's perfectly fine in my view 😉

I know this is a very sensitive topic that nobody wants to touch. It's for the brave of heart only. But it also doesn't have to be.

In case of confusion, I would say being kind and compassionate to each other always works because that's never a bad thing. 😃 AND of course we should also buy more Bitcoin. Always. 😉

Thanks for the response by the way!

Hey everyone,

Are there any libertarians here? Or what would be your philosophy/political view of the world? Any philosophies, ideas, principles that you think are important?

And for specifity when I mean libertarianism I mean principles like:

- Free Speech

- Non-agression Principle (NAP)

- Voluntary interactions between individuals (Voluntaryism)

- Self-sufficiency, self-sovereignty (Bottom-up & Autonomy)

People like:

John Locke, Auberon Herbert, Rothbard, Mises, Hayek, David D. Friedman, etc, etc...

These ideas are important to me. It's the basis of my philosophy. And then there's also the moral/"spiritual" philosophy that I get from a combination Buddhism, Christianity and other stuff. For example, the 5 Buddhist Precepts are a simple and important moral code for me.

Are ideas important to you? If not, how do you see life and the world? I'm just wondering because see there's a lot of love for #bitcoin and I wonder what each individual's philosophy (philosophy or politics) behind that. How people really think, if there are principles behind behaviours, etc...

I'm at a point where I believe that human beings need to have an organized hierarchy of principles, otherwise we will fall for other people's principles. And we all know the problem is other people's principles might be not be good at all for us and the people around us. This is the reason why this topic interests me.

Thanks!

Exactly. Twitter is now much freer but still the fact that it's closed source and not flexible will make it die in the end.

For example my Twitter feed is full violence and I would like to have more control on what I see.

Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone, a quick question:

What's the easiest way to create lists in Nostr? I'm looking to create user lists and follow feeds using Nostrudel but haven't found success. Any suggestions, any other clients, guides that I could take a look at?

Cheers and thanks 😉

Ah, cool. I'm not from Venezuela but I often read about life there, also know some people from there. It would be cool to have a stronger network with you guys though. I don't think there's for example a Venezuela community on Nostr right?

Best of luck friend :) interesting channel!

The thing is, in Venezuela and other similar places around the world (what's usually called the 3rd world), it's even more dystopian.

In Venezuela, you're working remotely for a "gringo" as a virtual assistant helping him run is Spiderman doll business in the US/EU, trying to make sure that he doesn't understand that your electricity fails every 3h, all while paying the police guy next door $10 per month (from the gringo's money) to stay away from your business/life so that you can feed your 3 unemployed family members. You can't do many physical/real-world things and businesses like farming because the police/criminals will take it from you.

And in my view this is definitely an upgrade from an even more broken past. There's more possibilities, more information, more exchange. The internet and technology is making everything better. We just have to keep calm and carry on.

My point is we can see dystopia and simultaneously we can also see the opportunities everywhere. The most important is that we stick together and carry on :)

Yeah, with Primal you can mute it in Settings.

I'm so incredible excited by all this tech. Reading about this new tech and some posts on Nostr made me realize what the future of social media is, at least for me.

The future of social media for me is completely bottom up, privacy-based, ownership-defined and highly configurable. Every single person in the world will be able to completely fine tune exactly what they want to see from their client and their content will always be available as there will be no top-down censorship anymore. Everything will be bottom-up, client-side.

And that's just beautiful and mindblowing. Because that will change everything. I believe a lot of incredible smart people don't participate in social media because of some of the factors above, i.e not having ownership, the censorship aspect, not being able to find what they want (discoverability, flexibility, filtering), overall feeling like they don't have the incentives to truly participate in the medium, especially in the longer term.

I believe the medium is the message. And the future medium is going to be incredible. There will be something for everyone and we will ALL benefit from it. It's going to be truly inclusive and revolutionary.

I'm an optimist for the future 😉

Thank you great people for your work in this!! #nostr #grownostr #nostrdevs

And thank you very much for your work on Nostr of course 😄

Thank you for the answer by the way. Your working in algorithmic moderation is going to change the world.

Thank you very much for it 👍 😉

Thank you very much for the response 👍

Interesting. I guess what I'm looking for is a true P2P functionality or side to Nostr. That would be the true end to censorship. Because from what I understand it seems like the current system is still censorable. Albeit on a smaller scale. But the possibility is still there I think?

I've been thinking about the idea of having a kind of NIP that implemented a P2P system, something simple, either based on Secure ScuttleButt, Aether, or just something new but simple, where clients (computers, smartphones) host at least a specific part of the content, configurable on the client itself. So probably they would host own posts first and maybe some other configurable content.

And if it was implemented at a NIP level people could use their same clients (Nos.social) and it would just work. Relays with P2P functionality would just operate the same sort of trustless server system to route messages between clients. This would offer a completely uncensorable system as long as clients are connected.

But maybe this already exists and I'm missing something?

Cheers!

I was checking Secure ScuttleButt and I was thinking, technically speaking this P2P model can be implemented in Nostr right?
