Ignorance and certainty are two sides of the same coin. Dwelling in the discomfort of doubt is their opposite.

All my followers are on Twitter. All my longstanding relationships, my reach, where people see my work. But like an immigrant from a tyrannical country, sometimes you need to leave your possessions behind to be free. Not everyone leaves though.

Sounds bad but actually good — YouTube simply stating plainly it’s a globalist video network to be avoided if you are looking for truthful medical info.

On vacation, deleted Twitter from my phone. NOSTR only for five days now. Feels like I took a shower.

When I get back in 10 days might limit myself to 1 day/week on Twitter for distribution purposes/sending people to NOSTR and Substack.

If I were a real man, I’d just delete my Twitter account outright like I did with the scourge that is Facebook/Instagram/What’sApp in 2018, but not there yet.

Soon maybe. My mind-frame is already better.

Incentives drive outcomes. Musk’s Twitter is even worse than its woke predecessor. I didn’t want that to be the case, but it is.

Don’t feel obligated if you haven’t promised anything, i.e., don’t feel obligated solely because the sender might feel a certain way if you don’t respond. That’s his cross to bear, not yours.

Anyone know if I can find some mustard in this town?

Went to catch my train to Strasbourg but it was “retard” — by 5 minutes.

One difference between Twitter and NOSTR is Twitter has so many more bad ideas to which you can react with a creative post.

NOSTR has mostly ideas with which I agree. Accordingly, there’s a much stronger incentive to post on Twitter — to combat misguided speech with what I take to be truth.

So Twitter gives you a sense of satisfaction that NOSTR does not in some way. But maybe that’s a manipulation of sorts that keeps you hooked.

I don’t know — just some observations from my NOSTR-only week.

Wonder if anyone will eventually earn a living on NOSTR solely via zaps. No ads, no proprietary software, no logins, no KYC, just an often anonymous artist and his thousands of small, often anonymous patrons.

It’s perverse but these restrictions are probably necessary to push BTC adoption — one thing to explain it to someone, quite another for them to wonder where you got all that purchasing power outside the system.

One thing I need to find on NOSTR is a reliable news feed. Zerohedge stopped posting, it seems. I used Twitter as my morning newspaper, and there’s no Greenwald/Taibbi/Zerohedge — would love to hear recommendations.

Or maybe I should just consume less news as the important stuff will find its way to me.

I just follow anyone who posts anything interesting here. I have no idea who most of them are. It’s very different than Twitter.
