Web of trust is a consensus problem. Equal in significance to the Byzantine generals problem. But this consensus problem concerns language. So I call it the problem of how to reach linguistic consensus.

This is the problem: how do we get a decentralized community to build our digital tools of communication without reliance on centralized authorities, like w3c committees and repo managers?

If we can solve the problem of linguistic consensus over the spoken word, we should be able to do it in the digital world too.

Solution: the tapestry protocol. The concept graph + the grapevine. An approximation of how we solve the problem in normal life, ported over into the digital realm.

Scaling Dunbar’s number up from 150 to 8 billion.

So close, almost touching.

AI to the rescue

Push-ups are nice and all, but the real cheat code is to do 100 squats per day. nostr:note13595xhlxadtkpqjqa4p5j3quesq8m4n7m7sj222nhe9unzaqfwvq7cl9wa

Go in hard. Go in fast and then get the fuck out.

We need an index of the sellers and their items. There are some native stores popping up. But I think that in the meantime, we need some crawlers, and api integrations to get more content/item volume there.

Then we can rebuild Amazon in a decentralized way; any seller just taps into the same protocol; shippers do the same; frontend discovery clients then would be the easy piece.

We’re unlocking some very powerful primitives.

The design space of what’s possible because of nostr is going to go vertical very soon.

Sauna. Cold bath/plunge. OMAD. More Salt. No sunscreen and lots of sun exposure. No sunglasses. More walking. More barefoot. Mostly meat. No gluten. No TV. Sleep early. Less booze.

The best part of any movie based on a true story is the part at the very end

when they show pictures of the actual people the movie was about.

Ah. Got me. Sensitive topics are usually the ones worth discussing.
