High Tech New + Low Tech Old = Next Gen Futurism
In my view, the future holds a space not only for high tech decentralized solutions like Bitcoin (money, economy), Nostr (free speech), but also “going back” to personal responsibility like homesteading, self-sufficiency “off the grid” (also decentralized options, if you think about what centralized authorities they disconnect from).
I’m interested in seeing decentralized solutions in politics and what that could look like. Curious to hear people’s thoughts on this.

Love this concept by Fountain and love this idea to spread it by #[0] !

I was completely duped by this AI bot earlier today. In hindsight, I should have known better, but I’m throwing this out there because there are plenty of unsuspecting people out there expecting to only engage with humans on social media.
To my earlier point about critical thinking, AI chat bots make it easier to get information when you KNOW it’s a bot. If you don’t know, you’re susceptible to being manipulated by the programmer in the same way you’re susceptible to TV programming (word choice intentional).
Question to the Nostr community: does free speech include AI bots?

A little about me:
If I could pick “one thing” that motivates me and that I’m passionate about, it’s “sustainable systems”.
This includes (but is not limited to) economic sustainability (ex. Bitcoin, localized economies, small business), health sustainability (ex. plant-based, natural, organic, alkaline, “non-dogmatic” diet), environmental sustainability (ex. reduce, reuse, recycle…but “actually”, not just parading around with paper straws), efficiency & effectiveness in organizations, sustainable models of education, etc.
Where does Nostr fit in? Nostr preserves free speech. Without free speech, democratic values (read: values in accordance with natural law) cease to exist. Free speech must be preserved in order for freedom to exist. Simple.
In our modern social media based world, Nostr will be a key player in speech preservation.
The next step is ensure that education systems teach you what to DO with free speech, rather than shoveling narratives (of ANY kind, right or left). Just because someone says it and just because it SOUNDS convincing, doesn’t mean it’s true.
The primary goal of education should be teaching how to critically think. Without critical thinking skills, people simply fall for the most confident, well-spoken, gripping, entertaining speaker, whether or not their logic is truly correct. This is not sustainable and the easiest way to get politically rug pulled.
I don’t have THE answers, but big picture sustainability motivates me every single day. I am interested in new and better systems that help us get to a more sustainable world.
I agree with this sentiment 100%. Ironically, Twitter felt the same way in the beginning: a fresh new network, “microblogging” changing the face of media, a lot of talking about the platform and it’s implications on the platform and the beauty of 140 characters. Once it became mainstream, though, it changed into what it is today: a cesspool of rage tweets, ads, and bots.
Aside from tinkering with Nostr, what’s the best way to learn more about how to use Nostr as a user?
Found this today and ended up answering my own question: https://bitcoinnostr.com/

A lot of interesting converging movements in geopolitics and international economics lately. We are on the precipice of something big.
