Every new application of Nostr should build upward pressure.

10 years of online marketing confirmed to me that social media usefulness (as in blood sweat and tears real economic activity generation, which is the apex guage of energy usage right?!)) is well overhyped and the bad side ( division, addiction and control) is swept under the carpet. So I am here for the Nostr apps that will generate and enable real activity, while appreciating the nuggets of goodness and usefulness in social media.

Don't get me wrong, Nostr is a good social platform because there isn't much idle/ influencer chit chat that doesn't progress "society".

So in my case Nostr activity is going to explode - from my lone exploration and contribution in Amethyst say, to bringing normies who are going to use a stack of Nostr apps that are going to help them build their businesses. And by definition, because their business isn't online content creation, they will appear to be lightweight amethyst users, but in reality they will be empowered by Nostr (apps). Which is pretty cool, I think and why Nostr can succeed..

From what I can tell, art is the art of depicting what's in your head. Ideally you have to get it out for your own peace of mind. Artisans come into their own because somebody says draw this or compose that and somehow they can reflect what's going on in a 3rd party's head or interpret their perception. The best ones bring their own view to the table too.

I don't know if my daughter realised yesterday that when she listened to me playing guitar and she was beaming from ear to ear and told me she was feeling the groove, she was actually listening to my happiness at being with her.

Only if you know it comes from a safe source. A friend of mine advised me, for the sake of my peace of mind, not to think of all supermarket food as poison, which is how I feel these days as I walk past 95% of the aisles just seeing crap after crap. She then sent me a link to a food content checker which identifies toxic elements in processed products. When a snack is disrupting my endocrines, I don't really know what it means but I lose my appetite for some reason. #growstr #myoliveoil

No idea what you just wrote but it sounds useful 👍

Funny how mankind is on an eternal search for more convenient safe and manageable environment when we thrive best under tension.

What happened to the idea that all the heavy lifting for AI is put into compression in the southern hemisphere and they send the tiny packets to the North for simple unpacking.

Or Happy Day of the Dead, which I find a more practical and credible description :)

I have a sobrino-nieta, which is nice.

What if Nostrs flaky relay content delivery was just an excuse to keep certain content out the way.

I jest but when reading extended threads it is hard to get through to the end. Just getting into pubky discussion and whooosh, posts go missing.

Halloween has been cancelled here in Spain, for flooding.

That is schweet.

There is a list somewhere of mega artists doing V4V. Aren't ColdPlay known for a free album?

Random thoughts:

It's easy for wealthy to implement it now and again.

It's up to us little people to lead though. It used to be called community spirit.

A mentor of mine lived by the maxim, "Work the same for a penny as a pound"

I used to watch Star Trek. Everyone likes to mention the prescience of their "mobile phones" but more interesting is that money wasn't a thing. Perfect abundance.

In the Himalayas pressure cookers are commonplace. They are super fuel-efficient. Perfect rice in no time.

I misread assessment for embarrassment. My eyes need testing.

Kings of rhythm

A good haul. The trouble is there is no way of knowing if you can repeat that success. The only reliable rule is grow good soil and plant stuff in it. If that stuff has a good reason to grow, it will. If not... hopefully you have enough variety planted as backup.

Got it. Maybe they just want you to get up and paint a portrait of them. Before breakfast!

Have a good day on the brushes.

I'm not sure if I've got it wrong but whenever I hear the words invest in Bitcoin, or Bitcoin is an investment, my hackles rise. To me that is like saying, buying staple food is speculation. Isn't that just what you need to do as a functioning human being? Nothing more, nothing less.

You must be coming down with a fever? Or a mad dog lives next door?

GM at 6 something a.m? That is still the middle of the night, :)
