Recent Notes
I don’t think societies are supposed to be rotating like this.
It’s just weird to be having “the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 00s, the 10s, etc…” where every decade is it’s own cultural bubble and then every 30 years you have an entirely different political basis and demographic makeup.
Not good. Not healthy. Not cohesive. It’s generationally destabilizing and just not how a good and functional civilization is supposed to be.

Everyone knows everything is broken. Few know that a solution exists. [Nostr + Bitcoin] is the solution.

The solution is not "Nostr + Bitcoin." The solution is stop making it so everybody has to grind for less and less in order to survive.
Nobody -- no musician, no podcaster, no writer, no YouTuber, etc... would have to ask for your subscription to their content or course or otherwise run you down with ads if it were not one of their very limited means of escaping the hell hole that is the rest of the workforce.
How about everybody stop wanting things from other people while having tiniest ounce of willingness to reciprocate with something of value. No, not your "words," not your "vibes," not your "experience" -- you're just not that interesting or fun to be around. Pay adequately for products the first time around and run your businesses so they aren't glorified sweatshops. Subscriptions are basically credit lines, because they know the average person bawks at a fair price and likes to steal value by claiming that what they consume has no value while consuming it.
"Sit back" and wait for the moon is not a solution.

Breeding isn't creation. It's perpetuation of the demiurgy.
True creation is design. True procreation is eugenic selection.

This is why you should be a transhumanist.
It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switchin...
I grew up with this whole woke phenomenon happening basically my entire life and, slightly embarrassingly, developed an irrational fear of the government tracking me when I was in my teens because I knew I wasn't with the program.
But, the quick onset ubiquity of this "let me track you or you can't use any of the normal internet" really does feel far more government backed than I'd reasonably expect of the market. Like, it *really* cannot just be about ads at this point and it really cannot be just about AI either.
Supposedly, we're supposed to feel like the globalist agenda is being thwarted with all these exposures. But, I don't buy it.

I'll never come around to this "social contract" idea; that you've somehow consented to xyz political configuration by virtue of having been born.
It's made up bullshit meant to justify the sensibilities and systems set up by the dominant culture -- the dominant ethnicity -- of whatever society or space you find yourself in. And, that culture demanding ubiquity is usually one about imperialism and world domination.
You don't have to "just" submit to democracy or tradition or God or whatever artifact of supposed salience is being hung over you. Especially, not when we live in a world so limited and made so rigid by the laws and political trends of a few over the world.

Killing all jobs w/ AI is an ideological task and a societal choice being made for you by the people in power. Not an inevitability.
Just FYI.

The Candace Owen's stuff is probably very real and watching the reactions to it from leftists and other "reasonable people" is absurd.
The rush to "debunk," the you-have-to-agree-with-me-adamant slander, and the evil-wishing make it so obvious that something purposely designed and evil is going on and the perpetuation of it has to end.
We have to change the way we think about our "neighbors" and "fellow" citizens who watch a non-leftist, non-zionist, non-program follower get murdered in broad daylight and laugh. If they follow the enemy, if they parrot the enemy, if they do the enemy's bidding, then they are just the arms of the enemy and you should treat them the exact same way you would treat the physical embodiment of the enemy themselves, whichever enemy that may be.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY THEY GO ALONG.
It doesn't matter if they're "just" stupid, if it's "just" what they were raised to believe, it doesn't matter if they're "just" following the crowd, it doesn't matter what they're "afraid" to lose or if they "would" be different in some other environment.
Let their be no apologies because their behaviors are to real effects. Their apathy, their anger, their mocking, their discomfort, their lying, the social tactics and signals that they send and carry out are real, harm real people, further real agendas, and make real changes within the world. And, this is obviously beyond Candace.
It's not "forgivable," it's not "understandable," it's not "okay" or otherwise permissible for adults to be incapable of moderating their emotions and adhering to reason -- the trait that is the mark of a person as opposed to an animal. That is the trait that enables moral goodness. This kind of intellectual disability, social malleability, and moral failure combo is not tolerable in any capacity. It's disgusting. It makes the "person" who does it inherently disgusting for being susceptible to it. It's an irreparable tendency and that makes them subhuman.
Let's get out of kindergarten, the time for "mercy" and tolerance has passed.
These "people" are hylics. These people are empty-husk vermin.
Their vast emptiness has been filled with the sensibilities of evil possessors.

⚡️💬 END OF SERVICE - ”Stop thinking you've got unlimited time”
Day 298, in two days, I will give you a full report on my Nostr experience.
https://blossom.primal.net/5b0239efafc8a5cb4b0ae...
Honestly, it's a very difficult concept to figure out. It doesn't feel like you don't have unlimited time and the educational culture that American millennials and zennials grew up in told us a bunch of insane shit.
We're actually not able to do anything we want. We are, unfortunately, limited in what is available and accessible to us by the circumstances of our birth and as such, there are things we should and can afford to do and things we should not and cannot afford to do. But, we were told and believed the opposite and so many of us spent a significant portion of our life force in lalaland, trying to take advantage of opportunities we don't have and be people we aren't because to come to terms with the fate of it all is, in some cases, too much of a shock for us.
I'm still in my 20s and I'm glad I had a moment of realization sooner rather than later (but, probably still not soon enough). I've stopped doing so many things that don't make sense, but I'm still shocked sometimes because real life is just genuinely disappointing in and of itself. It would've been -- unless you were born a Henry Cavill or something -- whether you had made all the right moves or not, but the crash down to what is real and what's actually possible even in retrospect will always be the dumps compared to what you'd imagined for yourself.
So, I wouldn't beat yourself up too much.
Just ground, shove your bitter disillusionment aside, and make the best. Commit to your values, not to your fantasies going forward.

I've used Nostr for like 2 years, but I've always had a hard time understanding how this whole thing works. Mainly due to the word "relay" in the context, so correct me if I'm wrong, but basically:
1. You send different messages tagged with different event types to a Nostr relay.
2. The clients reading that relay may or may not read different note types, but put what they do read into a useful format (typically a platform of some sort) and display it online.
My question now, is how would paid and private relays work on the user side?
One requests access or pays a relay to accept their message presumably and that all happens on the back end. But, the messages on that relay thereafter can presumably be shared and copied all across Nostr. Only a given client can stand in the way, but you don't really need Primal to see notes on Primal or YakiHonne to see notes on YakiHonne.
@Short Fiat You would seem to know about this kind of thing.
