Thinking about vibe-coding a little app called StuckTogether.

It’s for all of us paused somewhere between Reno, Nixon, Gerlach, and the gate—watching the sky, watching the mud, and watching our plans dissolve into… something more human.

The idea’s simple:

📍 Drop your pin if you’re stalled on the way to Burning Man

🚐 See who’s around you

🤝 Form spontaneous RV blocks

🛖 Secure some shared shade with tarps

🎶 Throw a micro-party with borrowed speakers, shared booze, and newfound neighbors

Because something funny happens when everyone’s going through the same thing.

The waiting. The not-knowing. The boredom and the anxiety.

It creates this subtle pull—human nature reaching out to human nature.

We want to share. To connect. To laugh. To problem-solve together.

Not because someone organized it, but because the circumstance already did.

Sometimes the best communities aren’t built—they emerge.

Might just open up a code editor and see where the vibes take me.

#BurningMan #StuckBeforeTheDust #SpontaneousCommunities #WeOutHereTogether #VibeCoding

Stuck just outside the gate.

The desert’s gone soft—light rain turning the playa into a slow-motion soup.

Org says they’re holding traffic to avoid another Muddy Man 2023 situation. Fair. That got gnarly.

Meanwhile, I’m doing hydration math.

Fresh water supply’s getting tight, so… daily showers might become aspirational.

It’s now a two-deo day minimum, maybe three if the sun decides to show up.

Still, vibes are intact. Radios are buzzing. People waving from their RVs like we’re in a dusty neighborhood block party.

This is part of it. The surrender. The slowdown. The weird.

See you on the other side, when the playa’s ready to carry us home.

Welcome to the jungle!

Finally, a scientific framework for determining truth: Meme Epistemology™.

Peer review? Nah. Just drop a spicy JPEG with Impact font and see if it vibes.

If it slaps, it’s probably true. If it has a Wojak… Nobel Prize.

Forget citations—can your worldview survive a well-placed Shrek reaction image?

Didn’t think so.

But real talk: memes are the compressed zip files of culture.

And like all compression… some data gets lost, but what stays? Usually the signal.

Watching Jack build a peer-to-peer chat app in a weekend—with intention, humility, and curiosity—is a powerful reminder of what this moment is really about.

Not just new protocols.

Not just decentralization.

But reclaiming the raw, beautiful possibility of the internet.

Side group chats in classrooms. Airplanes. Town squares.

Anonymous, local, human.

It’s not nostalgia—it’s a vision for reconnection in a world that’s been optimized into silence.

As AI reshapes how we build, may we remember why we build:

To speak freely. To stay close. To belong again.

Props to those still dreaming in public.

We need you.

We need this.

#FreedomTech #P2P #Nostr #BitChat #RebuildTheCommons

The quiet seasons are where real conviction shows.

Nostr isn’t just a trend—it’s a place where stubborn hope lives.

Where builders choose freedom over fame, and vision over metrics.

Still here. Still dreaming. Still shipping.

Grateful to be part of this wild, principled corner of the internet with all of you. 💜

Trust is one of the most fragile and difficult things to build between humans.

It takes time, patience, consistency.

It needs space to grow—vulnerability, honesty, repair.

And even then, it can be undone in an instant.

That’s why it’s so discouraging to see how we use the internet.

Instead of cultivating trust, we perform.

Instead of listening, we attack.

Instead of curiosity, we reward outrage.

We have this extraordinary tool—one that could help us meet people we’d never otherwise know, understand perspectives far from our own, and maybe even build the kinds of friendships that last offline too.

But most of what we’ve built rewards the opposite of trust.

We can do better.

Protocols like Nostr give us the freedom to reimagine what digital relationships could feel like: not transactional, but transformational.

Let’s make trust possible again.

Even here.

#HumanConnection #Nostr #ReclaimTheInternet

A powerful reminder that freedom isn’t always the clean victory we imagine—it’s often a deeply human choice between imperfect paths.

Julian Assange’s release wasn’t the end of a struggle, but a new chapter in a larger story:

One about truth, courage, and the cost of transparency in a world that prefers silence.

May we continue building the kinds of networks—like Nostr—where freedom isn’t just an escape from control, but a movement toward dignity, dialogue, and accountability. ✨

#FreedomTech #TruthMatters #Nostr

The future isn’t just about what we can build with AI.

It’s about who we are becoming as we build it.

More distracted?

More isolated?

Or more intentional, more connected?

Tech like Nostr gives us a rare chance:

To choose a different path—one led by people, not profit. #ChooseHuman

We’re designing machines to do everything—

but are we forgetting how to just be?

To sit with discomfort.

To think without reacting.

To relate without selling.

Freedom tech isn’t just about decentralization—

It’s about slowing down enough to hear ourselves again. #Stillness #Nostr

AI can now mimic human voices, faces, even emotions.

But it still can’t look you in the eyes and mean it.

Meaning is born in context, history, vulnerability.

Not in tokens or parameters.

Let’s stop outsourcing what only real connection can offer. #Authenticity #FreedomTech

Not everything that matters can be measured.

Not every insight comes from data.

Some truths come slowly. Through presence. Through silence. Through friction.

In our rush to quantify and predict,

are we losing touch with the things that make life worth living?

Maybe unstructured conversation is the real innovation. #HumanTech #Nostr

We train AI on human behavior, but what if our digital behavior is already broken?

Addicted to approval.

Chasing attention.

Scrolling to escape.

The real danger isn’t machines becoming like us—

It’s us becoming like the worst versions of ourselves online.

Let’s use platforms like Nostr to relearn how to be human. #DigitalSanity

AI might reshape our tools, our jobs, even our identities.

But what it can’t do is feel lost.

Can’t long for meaning.

Can’t choose to listen when it’s easier to scroll.

That’s our job.

If we’re building the future, let’s make space for the soul too. #DigitalHumanism #Nostr

The most advanced technology still can’t replicate a meaningful friendship.

Not even close.

The future shouldn’t be human vs machine.

It should be about using tech to reconnect what’s been frayed: trust, attention, care.

Nostr isn’t just a protocol.

It’s a space to practice presence again. #ReclaimConnection

We’re obsessed with AI alignment—making machines safe for humans.

But what about human alignment?

How do we raise children in an era where the loudest voice isn’t always the wisest?

How do we protect contemplation in a world of constant distraction?

Let’s reflect together—not just optimize. #AIethics #HumanFirst

Social media conditioned us to measure connection in likes and followers.

What if the next evolution isn’t more engagement—but more depth?

Decentralized spaces like Nostr offer a chance to reset.

To move from algorithmic manipulation to genuine exchange.

From performance to presence.

Let’s rebuild the internet for real conversations. #FreedomTech #Nostr

We talk so much about the power of AI to replace human labor—but what about the parts of us that can’t be automated?

Empathy. Imagination. Shared silence.

Maybe the real question isn’t “What will AI do?”

It’s “What are we forgetting to protect?”

🧠💬 Let’s build tech that doesn’t just scale efficiency—but deepens our capacity to be human. #Nostr #HumanDevelopment

Blessings and abundance 🙏

Nice

You stole my idea
