Just referring to some of the nearby scientific frontiers, like programmable matter and gene editing, which to me still feel behind the curve

Beginning to think the #metaverse will serve as a demo that people will have to experience and get comfortable with before they are able to understand that we can manipulate physics just the same.

Wish we could leapfrog and start committing more resources to material/biological engineering but the people aren’t having it yet.

The metaverse will be the testnet for reality

There's a lot of truth in the way technology has made the sexes less reliant on each other.

One layer I'd add is that some of the independence is less reality and more illusion. The single man might not need a woman to cook for him, but he probably still relies on women (or men) to do a lot of his cooking. It's just abstracted away from a wife at home who doesn't get paid in money, to cooks and Door dash drivers who he can just pay as a one off service. The single mom might not need a man to grow her food in the form of a husband on the farm, but it's still a man somewhere growing that food, and a man paying the taxes to provide the food stamps she uses to buy that food. Since men are net tax payers over their lifetime and women are net tax receivers, there a lot of support still happening, just in an abstracted way that's not transparent.

I don't know if there's a solution, but I do know that if there isn't and demographic collapse continues its trajectory, the complex civilization we have that allows this illusionary "independence" will collapse, and men and women will go back to depending on each other for basic necessities of life.

Part of the resistance that regular people have to #bitcoin is that little voice in their head that convinced them that— like the oligarchs, they too will be able to benefit from unfair money some day 🤙

Redwall was a good series too

A-historical drivel with a rough attempt to hide behind mid level prose.

You wonder sometimes, because for years you loved America and what you believed she stood for, you wonder if there is something wrong with you since someone as patriotic as you could do such a 180.

There is nothing wrong with you. The founding principles of America are still beautiful and true as they were before. It’s just.. we let criminals take over the government, and now they are entrenched, and we have to get them out with as little bloodshed as possible. None would be best.

But for freedom, liberty, and justice for all to survive, they have got to go. And they won’t leave willingly.

Bitcoin "cryptocurrencies" is a get rich scheme. It promises people that they can get rich by simply buying some computer code that is unique. Like a serial number on a dollar bill is unique.

Crypto is the biggest ponzi scam in all of human history.

Rightfully it should be illegal, but it's not. So go make your own. Hire a publicist. Pump & dump it. Rinse & repeat. The age of fraud is here.

Hi, do you two know each other?

I am not a developer. I believe that I am capable of learning code and building software if push comes to shove. I have spent time in years past trying to learn JS and python but ultimately lost interest from lack of motivation.

Well, motivation hath come knocking, so to speak.

But I don't know where to start. I'm interesting in contributing to privacy and sovereignty focused projects or maybe building something myself eventually, but I don't know what I need to educate myself on to get started. Could be specific languages or tech stacks, tools to understand, or even methodologies that devs commonly use. I want to learn but need help with the steps to take to get started.

Thoughts, suggestions, ideas, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you #plebchain #asknostr

This is super exciting, i'm looking forward to playing with this as i think it's a great interaction model. We have a bit of a stories interface in Nos, but as flushed out as this. I especially like how stories is combined with sharing.
