The biggest obstacle we have is convincing people to pay for media hosting. People would be coming from free platforms where they may be the product but at least they earn something when one of the videos goes viral or they keep at it till they improve enough and get some subscribers. On nostr, not only is there no algo to promote your content, you also have to pay for media hosting. Double negative.

Even if the other UX was flawless, you’d still have to deal with both of these issues somehow. We can solve the algo part but I’m not sure how you solve the media hosting.

The theory of Conscious Realism, proposed by cognitive scientist Donald D. Hoffman, suggests that consciousness is the fundamental reality of the universe and that what we perceive as the physical world is not a direct reflection of objective reality, but rather a construct of conscious agents.

Core Principles of Conscious Realism:

1. Consciousness as Fundamental:

Consciousness, not physical matter, is the primary substance of reality. Physical objects and the material universe arise from interactions between conscious agents.

2. Conscious Agents:

The universe is made up of "conscious agents," which are entities capable of experiencing, acting, and interacting. These agents form a network, where each agent’s experiences and decisions influence others.

3. Perception as a User Interface:

Our perceptions of the world (e.g., objects, space, time) are like a desktop interface on a computer. They are simplified symbols that help us interact with reality effectively but do not reveal the true nature of reality.

For example, just as a desktop icon doesn’t represent the actual complexity of a file, our perception of an apple is a simplified representation, not the apple's "objective" existence.

4. Fitness, Not Truth:

Evolution shapes organisms to prioritize survival and reproductive success, not an accurate depiction of reality. Our perceptions evolved to guide adaptive behavior rather than to reveal objective truths.

5. Scientific Implications:

Conscious Realism challenges traditional materialist views by suggesting that physical theories and objects (like particles and forces) are emergent properties of the interactions among conscious agents.

Implications of the Theory:

Epistemology: The theory shifts the focus from discovering "objective reality" to understanding the structures and dynamics of consciousness.

Physics and Reality: It suggests that space, time, and matter are not fundamental but arise from the interplay of conscious agents. This aligns with some interpretations of quantum mechanics, where observation seems to play a critical role in determining outcomes.

Philosophy of Mind: Conscious Realism offers a non-reductionist explanation for consciousness, avoiding the "hard problem" by positing that consciousness does not emerge from the physical but underlies it.

In summary, Conscious Realism posits a paradigm shift where consciousness is the foundation of existence, and the physical world is an emergent, functional construct. This theory has sparked discussions in fields such as cognitive science, physics, and philosophy, challenging traditional views of reality and perception.

To the people mad about Trump shitcoining; did you really believe he was just going to stroll in there and sign some executive order to make you rich? Take responsibility for yourself and stop looking to politicians, influencers, celebrities or anyone else to save you.

Accidents happen. Personal responsibility is key. If it were pills, sure. Could be a toaster in a bathtub or a shovel or a Lego as well. Lots of ways to accidentally kill a child.

How hard would it to do like a zap.cooking clone, but for guitar/bass/other instrument chords and tabs?

Getting tabs these days is a KYC/subscription nightmare.

The film Barabbas (1961) included a real solar eclipse during the scene of Jesus Christ's crucifixion.

It was filmed in Italy on February 15, 1961. Director Richard Fleischer delayed the schedule to capture the eclipse and had only one chance to get the shot.

Thank you Mike, for saying that so clearly. IMO all these bitcoiners hyping this "orange guy" haven't been around long enough to remember what happened the last time this "orange guy" moved into the white house.
