Unfashionable.

Snort and Iris still need a lot of work. Been using them since being kicked off Damus. Despite my attempts to connect both Iris and Snort to identical relays, I see persistent differences in what notes are visible in each client, such as the thread about "economic value". I have to switch back and forth between both clients to see everyone in the thread. I miss Damus :(

I think the physics concept of "useful energy" is actually critically important to "economic activity" in a foundational way. I mean, how can it not? Unless you believe human affairs exist outside of nature.

"Useful energy" in physics has a non-normative definition, actually. It is in contract to non-useful energy, which is energy in the universe that's in too high of an entropic state to be harnessed for any "useful" work: chemical reactions, conversion to other types of energy, etc.

Since I basically think that everything we think of as "economic activity" is essentially a higher order way of thinking about useful energy in an thermodynamic system, I think you're somewhat on the right path with this thinking, here.

Define "economic value" from first principles.

Not sure. I was a pretty active user. Opened it several times a day.

Yeah. I know there's web clients. It's what I'm using right now. Just saying I'll be on less frequently. Not completely out.

Probably going to be posting a little less frequently here, until Damus is the AppStore, as I seemingly got knocked out of the Damus TestFlight. ☹️

Expect the engagement farming on Twitter to get far worse.

Changed to "tbd.website"

Like I said, I'm open to the idea I'm dumb, here.
