What's a funny comedy with a little bit of action for our 10-year old son and me to watch?

Something like The Princess Bride...

No animation please.

Capitalism still sucks in many ways.

And communism in its only practiced form so far really fucking sucks.

So what do we do? Which boogeyman do we fight, and how can we reject both in healthy and context specific ways? nostr:note1rdgycvhcfpj7e5rwdnwmzw07gvpllwlc3frpdup5nr2jws03cthqzvxh97

We feared a future like 1984, but without realizing it, we are living in it—not through force, but through convenience. Control is not imposed, but embraced, and the truth is not forbidden, but drowned in noise.

I think a Bitcoin-Nostr dude and a Monero-Nostr dude have more in common,

Than a Bitcoin-Nostr and Bitcoin-Twitter guy.

Because if you're on Nostr, you gotta figure the person is much more likely to also be doing circular economics, Linux, DeGoogled phones, privacy, and has liberty-minded political beliefs.

While as there are so many Bitcoiners on Twitter just gambling on price, with no other awareness of what Bitcoin even originally solved.

You may hate to admit it, but Nostr's bond (and culture) is stronger than fighting over which currency.

This hit me...

"And in my unprofessional opinion neuroplasticity has made us increasingly digitally proficient but at a cost of being digitally dependent, and if being hired on as a London cab driver can change your brain on an MRI scan and if life experiences like PSD can alter the DNA and sperm what irreversible alterations will 30,000 hours of staring into algorithmically fed into a state of hypnosis due to the human mind or to their offspring.

In this short breath of time, we live in a state of existence that quite possibly no one else in world history has. We have both access to instant global connectivity, infinite information, and consumer-level access to artificial intelligence, but we are the last few humans in world history who remember what life was like before it. We are the last living people in history to have experienced life before the digital age."

I did a bunch of reading y'all. I'm team CTV.

Argue with me!

To build a community, we need to know one another.

That’s why I’m starting PEOPLE OF THE PROTOCOL, a short-form interview series focused on getting to know #nostr plebs.

Come talk about who you are, what you believe, what your interests are, and why you're here on #nostr. I will edit it into a short video (or article if you prefer) and post it here for visibility. Interviews will be simple and candid, and there’s no need to overshare or dox yourself.

WHO WANTS TO BE FIRST? Promote yourself, send me a message, or tag an account you think would be a good interview. Let’s do dozens of these over the next month together.

I’M ALMOST OUT, BUT FIRST REPOSTS WILL RECEIVE 500 SATS ⚡️

Lot of genuinely brilliant people.

High density.

Positive and productive.

To add a few more.

The internet is amazing because you can be anyone. All physical aspects are irrelevant. Your entire character can be a creation, with no connection to any real identity.

However, this also makes it difficult to form deep, meaningful connections. You cannot build a powerful community if it is full of fake people who only loosely know and trust one another.

#nostr has the best digital community so far. Our generally shared values of freedom, integrity, and #V4V have led to lasting friendships. The memes and inside jokes help, too.

But I believe we can take it to the next level.

Before I share my idea,

COMMENT: How has the #nostr community has been for you??
