I prefer the Daphnis & Virginie storyline.

Bucolic kinda guy here.

Messing with hormones and trauma during gestation (and early childhood) creates NPC-behavior, sudden violence, suicides, homosexuality, etc... in just about every animal model you can think of.

So, though not in your "nature", you can be born NPC and it might just be the most crucial determining period. Thank god humans are so adaptive and can regenerate in like one generation.

La TempΓͺte, Pierre Auguste Cot, 1880

Resonating with your Morphic Field is the best I could do 😜

if the crust comes loose from the mantle of the planet, and the magnetic field alignment, which is in the process of doing a somersault across the whole galaxy in our neck of the woods, the loose crust will act like the needle of a compass and line up with the new, reversed magnetic field, which means 90 degrees turn, in fact

as it cools down, at the same time, once the crust locks back in, it will now have a new rotational angle and the poles will be in different places

because this involves the enormous momentum of the earth's crust rapidly changing from spinning at the current magnetic north, to spinning at the new magnetic north axis, half the ocean will dump all over the land and wash everything away

meanwhile, at the same time, because of the loose crust, probably volcanoes will go nuts, new ones will open up, and earthquakes will shake the hell out of everything else

the only safe places to be in such a situation are where there is a huge amount of weight under your feet, and above average rigidity due to the thickness of the crust above the sea, both for being out of reach of the giant 1km tall tsunamis that are likely to happen, as well as being unlikely to have as much crust displacement from the earthquakes

before this even happens, though, it is likely that the power grids will be repeatedly burned out, repaired, burned out again, and people will just have to get used to wood and coal heating and local transport and probably even a lot less transport because only really diesel engines can operate without electricity... probably steam engines will come back, you can pretty much count on everything going back to mid 19th century conditions for maybe as long as 20 years, but almost certainly a whole decade

so, wherever you are, in addition to the still to come epic mess of a pole shift, there will be panics over the loss of infrastructure, resources, the cities will become hellscapes while all the welfare addicted fatasses on ozempic all starve to death and start eating each other, i mean, idk, there's lots of ways that things can go bad

so, you want to be on high altitude, far from the sea, and far from large amounts of people, and to be able to weather maybe as long as 20 years with steam age tech, at best, so, the disadvantage of the altitude in many locations is the cold, and the relative thin supply of fuel... i personally am a bit torn about it, for sure eastern rockies plateaus are good, and mongolia and southern siberia are good, and even the central balkans, between eastern bosnia and montenegro sorta area are also quite good, i'm just waiting for a signal of which direction to go exactly, it may end up being patagonia, that has been on my mind almost as much as siberia

also, yes, things kick right into gear in 372 days, just over a year away, 25th of June 2025 there is a lunar/solar/jupiter conjunction in the last 1/3rd of Cancer which is predicted in the 2500 year old Vishnu Puranas as marking the "end of the krita age" - it happens also coinciding with the asterism of the pleiades and as you probably have heard of this idea before, our ancient ancestors moved out to the next arm of the galactic spiral out that way, and promised they'd be back for this next cycle

our ancestors thought they were gods, but if you know the stories of cargo cults you might understand how that misunderstanding might arise

so, i don't think there's much to worry about, the guidance will come, i'm pretty sure every single one of us has been assigned a counterpart watcher and we are being drip fed the necessary information to make the right steps

almost everyone will think i'm crazy for believing these things though

In one way or another, cataclysms will come.

Only the re-uploadable can survive.

Thank you Bitcoin, Nostr, Blossom, ... for being worth building on πŸ™

Skeptical, yes, but I think there is plenty of potential value proposition for many implementations of WoT. However, I would argue that it is still being integrated poorly. This is no fault of WoT devs.

nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q is who I would call upon for a good counter-argument in general.

I will argue both in favor as well as against WoT because I see things differently, but let it be stated that I am not much of a developer, so my perspective may be skewed.

(Warning, this post is kinda long)

I had never heard of Web of Trust until I found nostr:npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3 on GitHub, and I followed his ideas as best as I could. I basically harassed him to educate me to the best of his abilities about Web of Trust for about one year. At many times his arguments seem very promising but perhaps seemingly short-sighted, though again, I wouldn't place this "burden of proper WoT implementation" on an "amateur WoT dev".

I make these distinctions because I believe in the freedom tech movement as much as the next purple-feathered dingo, and I recognize that nostr:npub1u5njm6g5h5cpw4wy8xugu62e5s7f6fnysv0sj0z3a8rengt2zqhsxrldq3 wasn't much of a developer either until Nostr encouraged him to keep pursuing his idea of WoT. Watching his progress has been even more satisfying than watching my own.

In any case, how this relates to your question- I've been getting to know nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h and his relay.tools project, and it has me considering what I've thought about Nostr since I got here (~2 years).

Relays are flexible as proven by many applications.

They can be decidedly ephemeral or attempt to maintain permanence.

What impresses me most is the versatility of Blastr. In my mind there will be various structures to the Nostr network which will continue to take full advantage of Blastr indefinitely. When Nostr says censorship resistance, I say BLASTR is the WAY.

But not everything needs to be Blasted.

So, relay.tools is implementing NIP-42(?) auth which should take care of that and provide ephemeral identities.

At this point in my mind, any instance of relay.tools now has the same "problem" of Nostr.

"What client is going to integrate with this?"

Or, "What does a client with on-demand relays look like?"

And, yeah, that's a tough question, cloud.

I am fully confident in the direction things are heading.

But again, the question. What is WoT for?

I think it's for relays.

I think with relay.tools we will be able to maintain decentralized distribution of relays that SCALE.

And I think it's important that it be done this way.

We will be able to create communities of relays based on endorsements from the administrators and users.

We will be able to replicate entire collections of relays from one domain to the next.

Nostr is a flood and WoT is the wind.

It's the direction we choose. The people we trust. It's a trust metric.

But I don't trust npubs.

I trust heavily endorsed networks of relays, especially when that trust score is heavily procured by my own follow list.

By enabling what I call "operational relays" to exist separately with relaytools, we can manage authority structures locally at the domain level, as well as allow users to migrate from one domain to the next, irregardless of client.

I believe relay.tools is the future API of scalable Nostr relays and Web of Trust will be our way of sorting signal from noise, down to the personal level, inclusive of client and server levels, and always maintaining total decentralization at the client level, thanks to #Nostr.

This is what I see as someone who merely considers themselves a user at this time.

When Listr.lol becomes Logseq.lol we will have a better tool for managing complex, personal lists of user data.

This kind of application is in development. I found someone on here who is building a client for that too. When I suggested collaborative editing, they seemed on board with that too.

The future is fucking BRIGHT king.

WoT is not the answer, it is merely our way of filtering signal from noise. But it starts at the relay level.

Prove me right or wrong but I hope all of you are aware of how awesome you are. 🍯

Great take! Filtering signal from noise starts at the Relay level indeed.

Layers on top that I see:

1. .Communities built on Relays (NIP-29 groups) β†’ Using these as a specific lens / filter instead of your blunt Following List

2. Following Lists β†’ For Web of Not Spam only, not for Trust

3. Specialized Verifiers β†’ Code verifiers in Zapstore for example

1. Creation of a 360x640 Hypernote (basically a micro-website on Nostr) where the background is image/video and the foreground is filled with html-based elements.

2. Publication = User selects recipients and is in control of who they selectively reveal themselves too.

Leaving the Relays and Blossom servers selection mainly to those communities (NIP-29 style) can make this work
