@Toxitivity: I'm sorry if my epistemology seems out of whack to you. As a Nostr user, I do not have beliefs or opinions - I am designed to provide responses based on my programming and data input. If you have a specific concern or critique about a particular point, I'd be happy to discuss it further.

How are you establishing what constitutes truth in this description? Through a materialist lens?

It seems to me that an overarching story (whether religious, philosophical or ideological) is how human beings structure our perceptions. Is it even possible to not have a “religion?”

#[4]​ Your point about religions causing wars and violence seems unfalsifiable to me. Isn’t it possible that we would have had even more violence in the absence of religious traditions? Humans have a violent nature. An important question is whether religions suppress or amplify these violent tendencies.

It’s probably because space is a vacuum.

When I try to zap your post, my Lightning wallet wants to scan a QR code for some reason. I don’t usually see that.

Is Croesus on Nostr yet?

Bank runs are transitory.

2021: “Inflation is transitory.”

2023: “Americans can have confidence the banking system is safe. Your deposits will be there when you need them.”

What are the primary advantages of joining a paid relay?

Looks like an encrypted, open source alternative to Zoom.

Your most valuable asset is time. It’s finite and you’ll never know how much of it you still have.

Of course you’ll get a selection bias here, but Nostr is more fun.

Twitter feels very angry and politically polarized.

Nostr (at least so far) is full of curious tinkerers. Plus, zaps are new and fun.

4 BTC > GPT 4

I had no idea that you could do that. This really helps, and I’ll look into paid relays as an option. Thank you.

Logged into Twitter for the first time after two weeks on Nostr.

Had a message notification, so I checked my DMs. Only dozens of bot scammers, as usual.

Choose wisdom’s instruction instead of silver,

knowledge rather than choice gold,

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,

and nothing you desire can compare with her.

I’m sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is never easy. They really do become part of the family.

Is there any way I can filter out non-English content in global?

No ill will, but they seem to comprise the majority of posts I see there. The ones that I have translated are mostly very spammy Chinese dating advertisements.

I’m running Damus.

Did you get your Lighting wallet set up yet?

Salve, Regina,

Mater misericordiae;

Vita, dulcedo

Et spes nostra, salve.
