“I couldn’t respond honestly then, and I still can’t fully respond honestly now, and that inability is what’s haunting me.” is a problem with our wiring rather than with our environment: dorsal vagal freeze

where the body enters a low-energy state of shutdown when faced with overwhelming stress or perceived threats, often resulting in feelings of numbness, disconnection, and difficulty moving or speaking. This response is part of the body's survival mechanisms and is commonly associated with trauma and stress.

Once this physiological problem is "solved" the world will become a very different place.

primal is probably still the "front page of nostr" and its trending page is so pro-bitcoin people assume that's all there is, or that it would take great effort to have anything less than pro-bitcoin repetition (and they're right). curation is key in a social network algorithm, so an aggregator which sifts and finds popular and appealing notes (like the big social media networks) is the key to growth of the *social network* of nostr.

The nostr problem. It needs to respect or take into account the mute and block list of those I follow, my web of trust. That's the only way to fix this bot spam problem
