You need to ask Calle if a nut can be boosted
The way to manhood is responsibility. For responsibility, you need power. If you grant all your power to the state just to feel secure and comfy, then you are ngmi as a man because you will delegate responsibility.
Are you referring to today's world or a general historic context?
People can be nihilistic, but the result of feeding this too much is called the evenly rotating economy, an economy where everyone knows the future and no one gains or loses anything. But it should be clear that we don't live in a world where everyone knows the future, not mattering how detached from reality a person is.
I will tell you the secret of a good story. The secret is that nihilism kills movies. If you're a person that thinks fate is sealed, you will make horrible movies. The only thing needed to make a good story is recognizing that your life has meaning and that every action that you take at any moment matters.
Nihilism is at its maximum when you crave a socialist dystopia and you believe that you are the most intelligent being in the world and you consider yourself a sort of god (that kind of delusion comes when you are able to change the rules of the world without consequence). Then, fate is sealed for you and you suck at making movies

nostr:note18lmn3jaa7cjc0ce3nwl6pzhl3smuvg0xmegn37962gqhlwrjcy9q23g0a5You know, making lightning prisms to notes posted by your follows with certain hashtags wouldn't be a bad idea to incentivize hashtag use 🤷
My philosophy is based on this idea: "the most dangerous líes are those that make you flee"
If I think something is making me afraid, I will try to search for the truth relentlessly, even if it costs me my life, given that fleeing from lies isn't any better
Most #nostr clients still suck in terms of discoverability. But they don't have to.
They don't have to because we have all the right building blocks already, we just lack courage to steal. Yes, STEAL. I'd encourage everyone to steal—not copy—what other clients did well. In the spirit of "good artists copy, great artists steal."
Let's take a web-based reddit client for example, one that still works (sometimes) despite all the horrible API changes: https://www.popular.pics/
If you visit that site in your browser, you'll be greeted with something like this:
It's a viewer that supports multiple subreddits by default. You open it, and it just works. It has sensible defaults. (Important!) It defaults to multiple subreddits from the get-go. Subreddits that are visual, i.e. subreddits that have users posting visually pleasing images.
You can change these defaults easily, and the URL will update accordingly. This one is for subreddits concerning #nostr #bitcoin and #memes for example: https://www.popular.pics/reddit/subreddits/posts?r=nostr,bitcoin,memes - easy to share & easy to see what's going on. Steal this. Please.
Of course, if this is a nostr client (and if you're logged in) this should default to your personal web. The people and hashtags you follow; the communities and relays you are part of, etc. Bonus points if you implement an "expand" button which will expand your personal web by one degree, i.e. shows "friend of a friend" kind of stuff. Not only people you follow, but people followed by people you follow. Another click and it's two degrees. You get the idea.
Back to the interface, and the problem at hand: discoverability. As you can see, every image card quite prominently shows the subreddit it was posted the as well as the user who posted it.
Apart from the beautiful masonry layout (did I already mention that you should steal this too?), that's the one thing I like most about this image interface: it's so fucking easy to discover stuff. You click on a subreddit, and boom, you see all images from this subreddit.
You click on a username, and boom, you see all images from this user.
You will discover new subreddits via the "user" view (most users post to multiple subreddits) and you will discover new users via the "subreddit" view (most subreddits have posts from multiple users). You can spend DAYS just clicking through stuff, and we could do the same on nostr with #hashtags (or NIP-72 communities) and usernames (yay, we have those).
Even more, you could go from user to NIP-05 provider, which basically gives a list of users under a single domain. Or you could show what kind of actual lists (NIP-51 lists) the user is part of, so you again have a list of users which you could use as a base for your exploration, populating the grid view which is the base of this image client. And again, because this is nostr, we get a "ghost" mode FOR FREE. You can use someone else's npub and look at things through their eyes. Some clients implement this quite well already. Most people have no idea that this is possible (because we suck at discoverability, including discoverability of features).
Pinstr is ALMOST there, but it takes like ~5 clicks to get to a hashtag (and it doesn't always work for me). Slidestr has potential and is also ALMOST there, but again, it takes like ~3 clicks to get to a profile and open it in Slidestr and you have to know exactly what you're doing, which isn't exactly discoverability-friendly. Same for hashtags, which are even more hidden, as as you have to open an almost invisible menu at the bottom of the image view.
Don't get me wrong, I love what we have. But we shouldn't be afraid to steal what other clients did well in the past, especially stuff that has been around for a long time. To me, the popular pics client is near perfect. No pop-ups. No modals. No unnecessary clicks. Everything makes sense and is in the right place. It doesn't waste space and is beautiful to boot.
I think we're very close to greatness on many fronts, and I hope that—with some technical improvements that are around the corner, as well with some help from #nostrdesign—we can finally kick some ass in the discoverability department too.
Hashtags are like little countries with german speaking people talking about beer, sauerkraut and sausages. Webs of trust are like beacons. We are like glue
It's funny because zaps will only increase their monetary value over the years. Your condition will only get worse
I've been thinking a little about this idea. Now I think that, in general, everything that can make devs more interconnected is a huge plus for the economic future of nostr. Congratulations, npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft
Bull markets are for learning, maybe even for not going back

It would be pretty awesome if I/we could search hashtags that only come from our web of trust. Also geotags to make a solid web of trust in comercial aspects and a good torrent of economic information, don't you think?
Could these be exchanged on sites like mostro or robosats?
Bitcoin almost hits 50k and I just remembered you exist bro 😂
I just thought, okay that's enough nostr for now.
Closed amethyst.
Then immediately reopened amethyst.
Ameth is a hell of a drug
My conspiracy theory is that all modern standard relationships were designed to be aligned with governments ideals
