Sounds like woo, though finding water pipes like that also sounds like woo. What I hope for is that whatever is going on is going to get a proper scientific explanation - the what and how of it all. That we one day can explain this to the same level we currently can explain radio, X-rays, etc. (and, for that matter (no pun intended), can one day explain much better than today what is going on at the subatomic level, quantum stuff and so on)

I'm fairly convinced there is at least one type of radiation or energy of some kind that science has yet to discover, and is currently treating as pseudoscience. There are too many unexplained phenomena for it not to be so. I have seen someone locate an underground plastic water pipe to within 15 cm (half a foot) with nothing but two bent steel rods, in a place he had never been before. There are earthquake lights and the lights in Hessdalen, Norway. Etc.

Seeing ads for Likee, a Tiktok alternative app.

Nostr needs a tiktok alternative. But with a lot of these apps, just building it is not enough. You gotta advertise to get people on.

That requires money. Even building and maintaining the app requires money.

Has anyone in this space thought through a DAO?

Linked In is an absolutely rubbish space

I reminisce about those days too. I remember them so well. I came from BBS to ICQ and MSN chat in my mid teens. It was like, the thing that helped me recover from another crappy day at school. And I feel a lot of that vibe returning here on Nostr.

But still, fundamentally I learned to use Webcrawler and Altavista to, as a user, discover a publisher, which (putting aside Geocities for a moment) was usually a business.

I never would have considered that publishers would fight to seek me out. But that's where I think we may be going.

I think the script is going to flip from internet dominated by service providers, to one dominated by user intent.

I think we're moving from a world of powerful companies to a world of powerful users.

Early internet was all about powerful companies. Individuals didn't have websites, companies did. Companies published their offers, users searched for them.

Now AI assistants are here and I see companies assume this same paradigm applies. Here's my app now with agent TM!

I think they're wrong.

I think powerful individuals will have and benefit from AI agents, even more than companies will.

Agents will publish their user's asks, and companies will have to respond.

Agents will have infinite capability to ask, and filter responses. Companies will have to outcompete to reach the user, to beat through the agent filter.

I am trying to wrap my head around where this goes to.

Major impacts on search and advertising models...

Major impacts on centralised marketplaces...

It is true that many people lack the ability to say no to certain situation that aren’t pleasant for them. We must understand where the belief of not being your true authentic self is coming from…..usually it’s from limiting beliefs that are deep rooted in an experience from our childhood or a traumatic event.

We may not always have the choice to be in a specific place or situation that is pleasant for us but we always have the choice on how we perceive and act in that situation as what happens within us is the only thing we can have a say on. What happens outside of us is not fully determined by us an individual but as a collective.

So if we can work on being true to ourself, understanding that what is happening outside of us is a reflection of our inside mental/emotion state and have the discernment to only focus our attention on what helps us break our limiting beliefs that are holding us back and instead create positive thought processes that build new beliefs that allow us to see the beauty in all of life and see unpleasant situations as opportunities to further grow and evolve into your true authentic self (a spiritual being of love and light).

This is not easy by all means and take time and dedication, just like everything else in life. But it’s better to put the our attention and effort into something else that will improve us rather than keep us in the same place with little growth. Either choice of life take consistency and commitment to stay on that path, whichever way we choose. So let’s make the choice of personal, spiritual and emotional growth and evolution.

This is just my opinion which doesn’t mean much and everyone should do whatever makes them feel their best selves at all moments of life 💕

TikTok users moved to REDnote. Reactions are like... 😱. REDnote ban will follow soon.

I’m not having a good time. Just noting to remind myself to pray and be accountable to myself.

Any complaints you have or any dislike you have are coming from fear and lack of love 💫
