Storytelling remains king. Yes.
But you need to remember that 90% of people are not main characters. They’re extras in someone else’s movies.
They don’t tell their own stories. They play a part in others.
Therefore, there is no “saving them”
What technology does is give them extra powers to be useless with.
It elevates them & accelerates everything.
Those of us who are main characters AND can intentionally USE technology (as opposed to it using us) have an advantage (as we always have) but there’s no denying that the quantum of noise is higher than it’s ever been and this makes the tide harder to resist
Nah. Tech transforms us. It accelerates everything and clashes with biological tendencies & modalities (which evolve and adapt over much longer time frames).
Consumerism is of course a huge issue too, and we know why. Fiat money bla bla bla.
But tech has a bigger impact.
People think money printing for example fucked everything up in 1971. Sure. It had an impact.
But you know what had a bigger negative impact on society? The pill. Less than a decade beforehand.
Same in 2010 with the proliferation of the smartphone. And later social media.
Not saying we need to go Amish. But these things have a way bigger impact than simple consumerism (consumerism is an accelerant)

The best part is that he’s right.
I’ve been telling people bitcoin is a framework for excellence for alllsg half a decade now.
Fascism is excellence (to the extreme). Perhaps a little too far in that direction at times, but nonetheless, it’s exactly what it is.
News flash though - THIS IS A GOOD THING.
The problem with the world is not fascism or excellence - it’s the LACK of each.
Excellence is diametrically opposed to equality (which is at the core of leftism).
Excellence is RIGHT-coded.
The dumb dumb leftist bitcoiners never understood this.
They all thought bitcoin was all warm and fuzzy and designed to save poor people.
lol.
Welcome to reality.
This is what bitcoin is.
A framework for excellence
A step toward a more ancient, feudal-like human operating system that is more natural, more fair, and yes - also more harsh in some ways (you can no longer force equality on the world).
Eat shit Mike Brock.

No actually they didn’t amplify anything. They made it 10x harder to manage because none of those events are actually published by the host. They are published by OPA’s key, so they are completely separate & distinct events, which the owners of said event don’t know about, and the potential attendees who may register are just flowing in limbo on a registration list nobody is going to check
And even if the events are “claimed” by the host, (a) the Nostr calendar event itself is not assigned to the event host, and (b) even if that was one day solved, it creates another problem which is the host then needs to manage two separate registration lists.
We did this 9mths ago, and deprecated it because of these very reasons.
If we’re gonna do it, we do it right.
Precisely what we’re doing

Just collect a small amount of sats from the attendees, either per event, or as a community fee

Lots has changed now that we have a sole focus on events.
Doesn’t feel like a bottom
Strong lesson in here.
Day 0 is easy - but as with anything easy, it’s cheap, fleeting and forgettable.
Day 2 is hard - and with most hard things, it carries more weight & value. It’s stickier.
Thankyou my friend
I promise to gets even better as you go
Venice has over 150 canals, and for centuries, gondolas were the main form of transportation.
Today, they’re iconic symbols of the city 🇮🇹

Is Nostr World still happening in 2025?
If yes, is the top candidate still Buenos Aires?
If no, what are the plans? 2026? Or no more?
