Oh waitโ€ฆmaybe I misunderstand the quote lol

Or maybe not?

Thing is, I am pro democracy but against the way it is implemented, from the top all the way down to the average voter.

As Gandhi on being asked what he thought of Western civilization (ie democracy) he once replied: โ€œIt would be a good idea.โ€

I donโ€™t agree with the quote.

The average voter expects everything to be done and given to them, thus are experts at moaning, moaning, and more moaning.

How do you get to write the B for bitcoin?

This may be asking too much, but can you find and play the stuff thatโ€™s on the Nostr Fountain podcast app on Overcast?

I stumbled across Nostr 9 months ago and would describe myself as interested user. It has been facinating to listen to the original protocol & app builders and Nostr advocates and the experience has encouraged me, together with other reasons, to engage in social media for the first time and for this I acknowledge a debt to developers and entrepreneurs who have made this possible.

However, one aspect of the conversations I've followed has always struck a disonant chord, and it's the phrase 'we are winning'. Winning against who? Is this a zero sum game? And aside from the male orientation of the term, will the idea of winning as a motivating force carry any meaning in the long term, where deeper sources of energy will need to be found. Sources which include a feminine aspect.

I can accept the phrase as a motivating rallying cry in the first stage of attempting to build a new protocol, but now that has been achieved should 'surviving' be the next focus and is it possible to envisage a future of surviving without winning?

Is it worth remembering that revolutions tend to mimic the very things they overthrew before becoming even worse. So is Nostr about revolution or about building a protocol to survive a hundred years? The later takes a very different road to the former, not seeking glory or fame, not seeking to overthrow, but building from the ground up and slowly making a difference in a way which will allow users will experience something more than simply replicating their experience on other apps.

Stay humble and build slowly.

Interesting and thoughtful note.

How about surviving and sharing as opposed to surviving and winning?

Also, condemn not what no longer serves you, be grateful for it and move on.

Just my 2 Sats ๐Ÿ‘

I believe this was known by many long before someone decided to write it down ๐Ÿ‘

Yes, his secure frame is visible in the photo and you kind of being protected under his wing. Very humble and sweet.

Thanks for sharing such personal insight and for admitting your insecurity, I wish I had had the same courage with my insecurities when I was younger.

Love
