Mark Herr from the Center For Self-Governance (centerforselfgovernance.com) joins Irida TV to discuss how we can begin to remove ourselves from the time-sucking black hole of partisan politics. Systematic politics is an entirely different mindset that allows you to be much more successfully change the system. It requires the counterintuitive move of suppressing the survival instinct–because we are controlled via that survival instinct. The modification of our system of government isn’t coming from whoever is sitting the White House, it’s coming from two boring organizations creating policy for every aspect of the government: The Public Administrative Clearing House and the Social Science Research Council.

Stay tuned to learn how to become VASTLY more effective in fighting back against our oppressors!

We were hosted again by our friend John Coleman at the Apocatastasis Institute to discuss the future of Western civilization. We discuss the general theory of the evolution of civilizations as per Carroll Quigley, and where within the lifecycle we see Western civilization headed at this point. We delve into the changes coming to today’s capitalist system due to trends such as Web3, cryptocurrency, peer-to-peer, and decentralization.

This is part 4 of a 4 part series on Western Civilization together with Apocatastasis Institute.

BRAND NEW - Cryptocurrency pioneer and AI investor David A. Johnston joins us to discuss how decentralized open source AI, powered by cryptocurrency, is bound make centralized corporate AI solutions obsolete. David is the author of the 2013 whitepaper "The General Theory of Decentralized Applications, Dapps" which defined for the first the Dapps model for building public blockchains & tokenized open source applications. This monumental paper laid the groundwork for smart contracts, meta protocols like the world's largest stablecoin Tether's Omni layer, and programmable cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. In 2014 he coined Johnston's Law: "Everything that can be decentralized, will be decentralized."

BRAND NEW - Brent Urbanik of EducateMiami.org joins us to discuss his work to create a new teachers union in Miami-Dade County, Florida to challenge and replace the existing teachers union. Brent details what he believes is causing the current union to focus on goals other than teachers and students, and what his challenging union would do to address current issues and prevent future corruption.

Some time ago I started hacking on a nostr client for comments, an alternative to [nocomment](https://github.com/fiatjaf/nocomment), just for the fun learning experience. As a [stacker.news](https://stacker.news) fan, I drew a lot of the inspiration from its design.

At about the same time, I noticed [Habla.news](https://habla.news) was lacking comments on long-form notes. I was kindly invited to join the design calls, and my tiny widget ended up getting merged!

Comments you make on Habla since July are using [ZapThreads](https://github.com/fr4nzap/zapthreads).

![]()

*See it live at https://habla.news/dergigi/1680612926599*

## The component

ZapThreads is available as a web component and can be embedded pretty much anywhere. It works on any client-side framework (via NPM) or website (via a script tag).

You can pass it a bech32-encoded `naddr`, `note` or `nevent` and it will use that as the root for all replies. We call this the *anchor* event.

Habla for example passes the `naddr` of the current long-form note:

```html

;

```

But you can also give it a URL and it will work, as nostr supports references to URLs via the `r` tag.

Here the comments from https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html (which, of course, are rendered by nocomment on that site):

Likes and zaps for the anchor are displayed by default. Replies are threaded and can be collapsed or expanded. Basic Markdown and nostr references such as profiles, naddrs, tags, etc are all properly rendered.

The host page where the component is embedded can optionally pass an `npub` attribute to suggest this profile is currently logged in via NIP-07. Otherwise, logging in is possible from within any reply area, as well as replying anonymously.

Reloading a page gets you instant rendering since the component is designed for offline-first. This means that only new data is requested, with the benefit of great UX and minimal demand on relays.

It's lightweight on clients as well, it weighs under 40kb minified/gzipped including base CSS styles and SVG assets. (For comparison, nocomment is over 240kb).

So what's up with ZapThreads with... no zaps? That's coming soon, read on!

### Purple pilling the web

It's early days. Most activity is happening on nostr-native applications. Since the power of the protocol is identity and data portability, why not embed it in different corners of the Internet? The incentive for web publishers to integrate with nostr increases as the network grows. And we help the network effect by surfacing it in unlikely places where we have the chance to onboard new nostriches.

For this reason, ZapThreads offers full control on styling and feature switches. Defaults are reasonable but to make this appealing to any kind of website, easily fine-tuning the component is of utmost importance. This is all work in progress, like the next big feature: multiple language support. I want to make this insanely versatile.

And if we shine purple light on every corner of the Internet, we clearly will take the orange one with it. In addition to integrating with the social layer, publishers can now permissionlessly monetize their content. Zaps will be enabled on anchors and comments, and zap splits will allow sharing sats between authors, hosts, relays, or anyone else.

Tools to automate migration from popular commenting systems such as Disqus, Facebook comments, Wordpress, etc are also on the list. A world-class onboarding UX to go with it, and much more.

My interest clearly goes beyond just threaded comments. I want to create lots of small, lightweight, versatile, easy to integrate web components to permeate the web with notes but also the "other stuff" transmitted over relays.

And the cherry on the cake would be, making Disqus obsolete.

BRAND NEW - We discuss implications of the Argentine presidential election results where victory was handed to "Argentina's Trump" Javier Milei whom many refer to as a far right market radical who doesn't care about the poor. We delve into the root causes of Argentina's economic struggles and how they should be addressed in the long run.

BRAND NEW EPISODE - Understanding formal logic and fallacies is only half the story when it comes to understanding intellectual self-defense. Dylan was invited onto the Apocatastasis Institute to discuss my interpretation on how to handle intellectual self-defense.

If you want to defend yourself intellectually, you need to be prepared to take on a crowd at any given time. Identifying a logical fallacy is just the first step in intellectual self-defense: you also need to know what to do after you’ve identified the fallacy.

BRAND NEW - We discuss the mainstream narratives of banking and economics and examine glaring flaws in it, referencing an analysis by Prof. Richard Werner.

BRAND NEW - What is the West and why is it so valuable? We all know that the education system in the West is teaching children to hate their own civilization and their own culture. How do we reinject and excite children to want to learn of their own culture, the opportunity that is presented to them because of it, and how to make sure that it continues? Dylan Moore of Irida TV discusses this in depth with Lynn Trinh and Ann Streit, founders of The Classical Scholars.

The Classical Scholars was formed to give direct education to children of Western Civilization and culture. Classes are currently held as summer camps and will be offered in private schools in the future.

BRAND NEW - Dylan Moore of Irida TV interviews Semi Bird who is running for Governor in Washington State for 2024 on the Republican ticket.

Dylan and Semi discuss hot issues in Washington State, the details of the path to victory, and the nuance of how to actually run the State from the governor's seat once you're in charge. An in depth interview that really gives Semi the opportunity to express himself and his solutions that you don't want to miss!

BRAND NEW! Dylan of Irida TV responds to an ad by the Trump Campaign which criticizes Ron DeSantis for his national sales tax plan when he was in Congress. Dylan goes over the good, the bad, and the ugly of replacing income taxes with a national sales tax, and proposes a better solution from an MMT perspective.

"Holmes and Balwani used advertisements and solicitations to encourage and induce doctors and patients to use Theranos’s blood testing laboratory services, even though, according to the government, the defendants knew Theranos was not capable of consistently producing accurate and reliable results for certain blood tests."

Just imagine how bad things would be if someone got away with that sort of scam and frightened the entire public for profit and power. So thankful our very intelligent and caring bureaucrats would never let it come to that.
