It is long, but well worth watching and reaearching further.

Not good enough, data is still public to be observed by AI. I will link a great interview with Amir Taaki where he discusses different privacy protocols

Lightning is not private at all. Look into the Watchtowers and who owns them. Offchain solutiom for what should be done onchain makes no sense. Its fast, but too much like old system.

I like the idea of btc, but better projects have been developed with better use cases, and the potential for anyone to make a currency better than anything that exists now is really the most liberating aspect of all this.

That's what i'm kind of hinting at with BTC, especially as old finance gets more into it. If information is the currency of the technocracy, then preserving privacy is paramount for freedom. BTC leaks too much data.

Sick, just found your video on open source software and linux and realized you were on Nostr, awesome!

If you want to learn about the Ether, study Ken Wheeler aka Theoria Apophasis on YouTube

Things to pair with Nostr and BTC:

Decentralized energy

Decentralized food production

Decentralized comms/internet

Decentralized water

Decentralized waste management

For energy and comms/internet, it is ideal to understand how the ether really works. No cult of bumpjng particle bs. Study Ken Wheeler, Eric Dollard and Nikola Tesla

For food, support your local farmers/foragers/hunters and/or become one yourself

For water, understand it is everywhere. How to collect and purify? Many methods, research how, even down to your local environment

For waste management, look into humanure

Prescription life, within the bias of it's creator

The internet didn't change. The people did. We voted with our attention. Personal curation was given up for convenience of having things curated for us. The joy of finding cool content disappeared because it's just found for us.

It's as if people forgot that life is a journey, not a destination. The things you do along the way are what matters and not where you go.

We forgot his lesson with the internet and opted in for feed-it-to-my-glazed-over-brain system, bypassing all of the joys of discovery.

Entertainment hits diminishing returns the more you consume. You can't watch Netflix for days, your brain will burn out. The same way as you can't scroll Twitter for days, you'll start feeling like shit. Same for YouTube and anything else really. Central services that optimize on preference and engagement feed off of humans until they burn out, squeezing them dry in the processes for as much data as possible, to further squeeze others.

AI is not going to fix any of this. If anything, it'll likely get worse. Seeing hyper-personalized content is not going to make anyone any happier. It'll further alienate people from the real connections that make them truly happy - real life connections and activities with people. Personalized feeds that know exactly what you seek will only make it more difficult for people to connect.

Of course, the Zucks of the world will say "we're here to help!" "Here, plug yourself into the metaverse, it's as if it's real!" And... people will take the bait. In some ways it will bring people closer who are far apart. It may forge new virtual relationships that feel real, but will never be real unless people actually meet.

Just my late night rant that I'll probably regret tomorrow, wondering how I could have said such stupid things.
