I do agree that we are, each of us, our own curators. And I also agree that this is inevitable. I would add, though, that the basic assumptions of liberal democracy, which inform most _centralized_ curation systems these days, are mostly false assumptions. And such curation systems often end up harming sincere, earnest, good people who are too intelligent to believe the myths of the moment.

The bad part of X's new-found profitability is that people now misperceive it as a free speech platform, which it most definitely is not. (I was terminated there under Musk, literally within hours of the ADL complaining about a totally innocent and reasonable post of mine. And I know of many such terminations.) But because the commonly-held view is that "we have free speech again now on X," there will be fewer incentives for good folks to find NOSTR.

Since "democracy" is worthless, things which "shield" it are worse than worthless.

Why do you keep re-following me again and again? If that's a "feature" of the software you're using to post, I suggest you turn it off. It's very annoying.

I am glad to see this, though I suspect that the NFL is just trend-following -- not much admirable about that.

The reason I am glad to see it is because the accusation of "racism" is usually used to ruin the lives of good people who understand the simple fact that racial separatism is a good thing for their race. And it is. It is not only good for your race, but it is good for the future of life in the Universe.

For without racial separation, evolution cannot take place. And without racial separation, life cannot advance to higher levels of consciousness.

Here I'll talk about ideologies bearing on how human society ought to be organized, which is where the real battle over truth is centered.

A free speech communications sphere or system, quite a rare thing, does indeed allow honest truth-seekers to say what they will, and so truth, or at least a path to truth, has a chance.

Not so with most curated (that is, censored) systems. Just looking at it logically and mathematically, we can see this must be so. Curators generally censor (or at least severely disadvantage) points of view that directly contradict or threaten theirs.

The curators are of various ideologies, say a hundred for argument's sake. They are all mutually contradictory, and therefore cannot all be right. The chances are very high that 99 or 100 of them will be wrong in a fundamental way.

Therefore, on average, the truth is much harder to find on curated systems.

Excellent news. This, at a minimum, should be international law.

Why do parasites and their employees, like the Daft Muppet (LOL), love fiat currencies? Because of the characteristics you rightly criticize about fiat in the video:

1. It loses 90% of its value every few decades:

Well, that value doesn't just disappear. It is _stolen_: stolen from workers, from businessmen, from families, from widows and children depending on annuities or inheritances, etc., etc. And people like Soros, central bankers, and their government pals receive the stolen value -- and they, quite prudently, allow a bit of it to trickle down to their pet media liars and "academic" muppets.

2. It can be confiscated: Muppets and their muppetmasters truly love this part. It gives them yet another way to shut down and impoverish critics of the System that has so fantastically enriched them with stolen wealth.

3. Under the fiat system, people can be, and are, debanked: See reason two.

The more loudly they scream that "nothing can challenge the dollar," the more imminent is its fall. One could also argue that the dollar fell a long time ago, although the _word_ "dollar" continues to be used since it's a more palatable name than "Zionist Killing Machine Trading Stamps."

Nations and civilizations are always in competition, a competition merciless in its action -- and final in its results. Therefore, if we intend to survive and have a posterity, we need -- always -- to be as clear-eyed and realistic as possible. "Seeing Things Queerly" (and all things even remotely like it) does not meet that criterion. Therefore it must go, and those who tend to create such monstrosities and madness must be removed from all positions of authority and influence.

Would make a nice moving background for a videocast.

Sexual instincts in very large numbers of species (and even subspecies) is very, very finely tuned to avoid matings outside the group. The main tendency of Life is divergence. Exceptions don't disprove this.

Yahweh is the parasite god, the archdemon of fiat and moneylending, and the unholy father of Usura, all her swarms of bankers, and all their lies.

It's not AI itself that scares me. It's the "common goals" that "we all agree on" -- many of which are insane or evil -- that might be actually be attained using AI's power.

I can understand the desire to be rid of spammers. But WoT? It's easy to see how such a system will reinforce and amplify what the dull majority already believes. It will also reward empty-headed or disingenuous people-pleasers who are skilled in regurgitating whatever it is that most people want to hear this week. And it will punish people who go against the grain, like Satoshi. Diogenes or Socrates would surely have "scored" badly.

And don't forget the best one -- the one that starts with "anti-". . .

Thanks for the insight. Looked up "WoT score." What a terrible idea that is.

Human tribalism is natural and leads to the best outcomes (flourishing and upward evolution). Certain things that seem "kind" and "good" to miseducated midwits (like giving your country away, opening your borders, debt, stealing people's wealth to "develop" the "underdeveloped," etc.) is actually the opposite of kind and good in the long run.
