I find the architecture arguments dumb. The reason why they were making amazing buildings was because that was the tip of their technological advancement. Buildings became a boring engineering problem to edge engineers.
Our human very tip of advancement is on chip silicone, it's marvelous just like a cathedral was back then https://youtu.be/5Ge2RcvDlgw?feature=shared
Cute.
But that approach has downsides.
“Pure engineering” lacks soul and art.
It’s important there is a non-economic and non-engineering approach for the things we can touch, see and taste.
A powerful and profound burden to bear
“Architecture is frozen music” - Goethe
Architecture and music are both are inspired by what’s inside.
If you wonder why both are so bad today, look inside & look around.

BEAUTIFUL book.
Damn. I want one
Tucked away in southern Chile, near the Northern Ice Field, lies an explorers dream: The Baker River. This beast of a waterway beckons adventurers worldwide to test themselves on some of the planet's most formidable terrain and whitewater the planet has to offer.
The Baker is fed by some of the world's largest freshwater reserves. A quick tour on Google Earth reveals its impressive scope and the glacial landscape that surrounds it. Note the glacial field on the left of the image below.
The river's journey begins calmly, flowing out of Lago General Carrera - Chile's largest lake, known for its deep blue hues. This upper section offers world-class trout fishing and scenic, low-key whitewater rafting.
But don't be fooled by this gentle start. Soon, the river transforms dramatically at Salto del Baker, a massive waterfall. Just below the falls, the glacial waters of Rio Neff join the Baker, creating a swirling mix of blue and grey. This murky cocktail signals the start of the intimidating Class V Baker River canyon.
Navigating the Baker's canyons is a soul-stirring experience. It’s a true test of a whitewater kayaker's skills and resolve. The stakes? As high as they come.

The river's powerful currents demand respect. One rule reigns supreme: stay connected to your kayak, your 100-gallon life preserver. Solid crew and nailing your lines? Non-negotiable for survival.

After the heart-pounding canyon section, the Baker mellows, save for one more rapid. Then it's a smooth journey to the ocean, passing through a landscape dotted with local shepherds and lumberjacks and glacier topped peaks.
A few years back I was filming a documentary and got the chance to follow some lumberjacks who build rafts from their cut wood, floating them downriver for two days to market at the closest port town. They even build fires on these rafts, sipping mate as they navigate to the coast.
The Baker's journey ends at Tortel, a charming town where these wooden rafts are dismantled and carried uphill to the local sawmill. It's a testament to the resourcefulness of the locals.
Tortel isn't just the end of the river - it's the gateway to Patagonia's glacier-topped fjords. The town is built into the rocky coast line with much of the local streets being boardwalks over the ocean, made from the wood these lumber jacks faithfully deliver.
The locals in Tortel are awesome down to earth people and are always excited to invite you on there small Lancha boats for some exploration around the local Fjiords.
If you're heading to southern Chile, make the Baker River watershed a must-see on your list. It's not just a river - it's a journey through one of nature's most awe-inspiring landscapes.

For sure.
If I wasn’t building Satlantis, I think I’d be building that. But we can only get to so much 🤷🏻♂️
None are good right now. The amount of times I’ve lost a draft is infuriating. They also don’t format properly. It’s not worth the effort.
When someone takes it seriously and builds something really good, I’ll try again.
Fields like event id, sig, pubkey, p & e tags would be 50% smaller in binary vs utf-8 hex. Follow lists are currently quite large and their size would be basically cut in half.
But if we implemented NIP-114, we could save even 90% or more in bandwidth and some processing as well, depending on how many relays you connect to. Hoping to find some time for it again. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1027
New “building in public” blog: Social 2.0
What is Social 2.0?
If Social 1.0 was about billion+ user platforms that transformed into algorithmically driven dopamine monsters, Social 2.0 is an opportunity to build something new and more intentional.
It’s a second chance to build a social layer for the web.
The Social 2.0 era will be marked by the rise of many different niche and micro social networks, each with a core focus or specialty domain.
It will also likely be developed atop a global, open, identity protocol - the leading candidate which I believe is NOSTR - where users own their content, data, followers and identity.
Full intro piece below.
Subscribe on Substack for now.
I will bring it over to Nostr of course, when nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft gets Highlighter working properly 😉
