this is really interesting 🤔

I’m fascinated. My kid is in the beginning phases of this right now. Reading this I feel like I should just look away more often than I do, haha.

Also, my friend who grew up in Cork City, Ireland, told me an interesting example of this. According to him, during a certain time of year all the kids go around collecting a particular mushroom outside the city to brew a mushroom tea. He said only children do this, and then they spend the rest of the day daydreaming :)

I'm starting to hate the autocorrect on my phone. Seems to screw up every Nostr post.

Yeah turned autoincorrect off

I wonder where the dose falls along this curve?

It's not just your relay. It's a thing. Have a good look at the stats. Nostr adoption, engagement, and retention are all quite low and have declined significantly from the major adoption spikes. The users that joined after X was banned in Brazil and other events before that like the Reddit and TikTok spikes over mostly did not stay or regularly engage. There are only ~36,000 weekly active users on Nostr right now, and less than 15,000 daily active users.

it would/will be interesting to discover if this is what organic adoption looks like without algorithms to feed the “endless scroll”

On twitter they are censoring videos of the king's visit, I will put everything that is interesting in Nostr, here they can not censor.

I want to put on record forever what they are doing to us, Valencians will never forget this.

I lived outside Valencia for 1/2 year many years ago and made many friends there. This is absolutely heartbreaking.

neurodiverse brilliance

Asimov stories are good, but they tend to be less philosophical than Heinlein, IMO. When Asimov does go philosophical, it tends to be narrow.

For example, in “I, Robot”, Asimov explored the philosophical implications of his proposed laws of robotics—how they might work in practice, in what ways they might conflict, etc. But that work is a series of short stories, as opposed to a holistic, contiguous story.

Arthur C. Clarke’s books tend to be somewhere between Heinlein and Asimov in this regard. Childhood’s End would be an example, IMO. I can’t say much about the story for risk of spoiling its, but IIRC it explores the nature of consciousness and evolution.

So whereas Heinlein will explore the impact on human behavior of various hypotheticals, and Clarke will explore the impact on humanity, Asimov tends to take human behavior and humanity as givens, and then noodle on extra-human topics.

Thanks for this reply. I look forward to exploring these authors whom I’ve seen quoted so many times and yet this is a corner of fiction I’ve only gently scratched.

Stranger in a Strange land is one of a small number of books I’ve read more than once.

Another is The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov. Although I wouldn’t characterize it as transformative, for me anyway. Just a great story, IMO.

I’ve wanted to read Asimov forever and somehow never actually done it. One day.

Transformative fiction?

For me that would be Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein and The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks.

Thanks! I haven’t read those yet, adding to my list!

Haven’t read it yet, but adding it to the list!

This book as well as Demian by Hermann Hesse and Grendel by John Gardner were transformative to me as a teenage boy.

Any that you loved and you’d like to share?

A great book for boys. I read it for the first time when I was 14 and then read it yearly for 7 years after.
