Our biology shows distinct herbivorous traits. Our saliva contains plant-digesting enzymes absent in carnivores. Our stomach acid is mild (pH 4-5) compared to carnivores (pH 1), and our intestines span 10-11 times our body length, matching other herbivores' ratio of 10-12, while carnivores' intestines are just 3-6 times their body length. Physical features like fleshy lips, flat nails, and small mouths align with herbivorous anatomy. While humans can digest meat, our digestive system's structure and chemistry match the profile of plant-eating animals.

I had the opposite path. I was a Christian, and had to come to the painful realization that if Jesus is indeed alive and active in the world today, that I have no definitive experience I can point to that would convince me that he's much involved in my life. I have not had the the spirit bear witness with my spirit that I am a child of God. However, the apologetic arguments for the existence of a God are strong, but my personal experience is one of a distant, hidden God. I hope that I'm wrong and my time has simply not arrived, and hope if there is indeed an all knowing, all loving, all powerful God that desires for me to know him and commune with him, then he'll make himself known in a way that is tangible and convincing to me.

What is value, and who determines it?

Your kids lumpy pencil holder is valuable to you. To me, it's a child's unskilled art project. What makes it valuable?

I spend 8 hours making a chair, I think it's worth $1200. You can buy a chair for $50 from Ikea. Why is my chair worth $1200, and why would you give me $1200 for it?

Now, where it gets interesting, is my examples are one offs that have a definite amount of time, material and energy that went into them. What do you do with a digital object that can be reproduced indefinitely?

If a digital object took me 8 hours to make, is it still worth the $1200 I'd like to get in exchange for my time?

What if 1 million people see it, should they each pay me a fraction of a cent? Could one person pay me $1200 and everyone else gets to consume it for free?

What if only three of the million that see it think it's valuable to their life, how much should they pay?

Are there other things people can do that provide me value that aren't monetary?

Could they promote my work or repurpose it or make artwork for it?

Is their labor in support of my work valuable?

How do you determine value when it can be copied indefinitely with no additional cost to you?

I need to pick the harmonica back up

You know what sucks? Being responsible for your own actions.

I ate like shit, relapsed on the vape, and drank hella caffeine last night.

Got a bad endo flare up today and I can only blame myself.

A lot of y’all make discipline and a healthy lifestyle look easy.

A: Hi Bob!

B: Hey Alice, how are you doing? Oh nice hair you got today.

A: Oh, thanks.. so, you just like them? You are not zapping me for them? You are so FIAT Bob.

So basically we passed from a culture of EGO builders with 👍🏼 on Facebook, to another one where you build your EGO since you give "value" while others are only appreciating something without giving money to it. pendulum shifting so hard.

Let me ask..

1) Do you zap every note you would like 2 years ago or you are limitating your engagement because you settled a higher standard?

2) Let's say Alice zap 21 sats as minimum, and Bob zap 100 sats as minimum.. but Alice got in bitcoin just recently and have a stack of less than 0.1 btc, while Bob is in since 2013 and his stack is 100+ BTC.. who is giving more value, putting more on the line, and giving more?

3) Alice follows 2000+ users, and zaps an avarage of 100 notes a day, from just GM to long form posts.

Bob follows 100 people and zaps less than 5 notes a day but 10 times Alice amount. Who is giving more "value" and making sats flow creating a bigger net of connections and engagement..

4) #Nostr is a fucking niche still, even smaller than Bitcoin, and trying to force onlyzaps to new users that doesn't know anything about it, and don't have anyone that follow and actively engage with them, you want to also take from them an easy way of communication, because Reactions, not just LIKES, ARE A WAY OF COMMUNICATING A MESSAGE.

REACTIONS ARE NOT LIKES, FOR FUCK SAKE!

What are you looking for?

1. Easy. Someone else handles all of the hosting, but you have to pay at least $5 a month or 10% of your sats. You have to trust that the person hosting your music won't deplatform you.

2. Bring you own wallet or use theirs. You get a wallet handed to you that someone else controls the keys to, again, you have to trust that that platform won't demonetize you.

3. A little bit of work getting set up on a CDN, but cheap, usually about $1 a month. You have to bring your own wallet but nobody can pull your music, because it's on a server you have control over

4. If you already have your own website that you can drop files on, then it can be done for no extra cost, but a little bit more work (though not much).

Let us know your goals so we can let you know which options work best for you.
