We can see that happen already in many places. You just need to know where to look.

That said, a lot of scientific pursuits have large barriers to entry requiring expensive equipment and laboratories. The last lab I worked at had a couple multi-million dollar machines. Working with these independently is out of reach unless you bow to the gatekeepers.

Difficult to solve that one.

Sometimes zaps arrive at my lightning address and sometimes they go to LNtip bot on telegram. Strange.

You want to be a good scientist? Become wealthy first

Of course, we know why they're going through traditional channels. They're poor and need funding.

Darwin was a wealthy man with F.U. money and could pursue his interests. So was Newton.

I've always wondered why scientists don't self publish more. They should as recent times have shown clearly.

Thank you, that makes sense

Wisdom lies in knowing when to reject consensus.

Because often times, consensus is right. Especially for time tested stuff.

Not even science in all cases. For example during the COVID narrative control, there was a lot of bullshit on there.

Imagine paying 44 billion for something that a couple of FOSS devs kill in their spare time.

Protocols > platforms

Nostr is to twitter, like Bitcoin is to fiat. Once you see, you never unseen.

What is the usecase for paid relays? It can't be spam, because there's no spam on here if you curate the feed like you do on twitter. Is it for reciliency? Giving back?

There seems to be a bug in amythist that removes words when you move the cursor manually.

It is the 21st century. Why do most electric guitars still have chunky and uncomfortable neck to body transitions? You'd think CNC machines would fix that in manufacturing together with market demand but no, they somehow don't. What's up with that?

Auto updates are disabled. The first thing every day is checking the play store daily with my morning coffee for a new amythist version.

I learned a lot from Ben over the years and today will learn some more watching this

Talked to him last year in Miami outside on the day they didn't let everyone in. Lucky me, most inspirational conversation I've ever had. What a guy!

Beautiful 🐈

Every time I come back on here, there's a massive backlog of posts I've missed.

Most zapped, most signal.

Not always, but good first heuristic

Huh? Pass on that one 😂
