Background in aerospace and advanced weapons startups; more interested in network science these days and the desloppification of the world, though after reading Nietzsche, no longer resenting the fiat Christian and fiat money dying world. @DeltaClimbs on twitter.

I like mountain biking and 1-arm-chinups

Lmao. The nostr meme is "we're so clever we can just sit in our sandbox and wait around for the world to come to us." I mean, it will, maybe, probably, and in the meantime, congratulations, you just played yourself. Bitcoiners generally don't produce anything the world cares about beyond base info tech, and even that is advanced sloppily. Zero understanding of the difference between means and ends. Lots of talking. Not much doing. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Isn't all of life a containment operation of all against all as each agent seeks to expand? But the nature of the containment and the impulse to contain... isn't itself carried out by those who are mimetically contained? You think the controllers are truly in control?

"mimetic" means "of the nature of copying" so i can't diagnose bot-speech. nah, i think it should be obvious which things i think are involved in some kind of containment operation. bitcoin. nostr. liberland. the latter two i am pretty sure operators are working on both concurrently.

why not just have a non-encrypted variant
Delta, Dirac profile picture
I actually had a toggle at first to have non-encrypted option, specifically for making it render, but then I might have content moderation State threats.

I was thinking two things:

1) The advantage of sharing a wyrd publicly is ease of transportability (e.g. a tweet cannot be shown possibly to someone without an account), but one can always post a screenshot of a wyrd along with a wyrd, and twitter algo.

2) One thing I am thinking is what if existing social media pushes people toward weakening action by encouraging shouting into the void? Natural social IRL communication has limited reach, so I thought, can I recreate the way "elites" communicate with a software tool? And isn't that ideas that move ephemerally across minds, irrespective of channel or tool?

So it's really a question as to a new way to disseminate information in ways that may be more productive: if the natural primitive does not achieve breadth, can the message iterate, be passed forward, achieve depth, and connect to IRL action coordination? For such a thing, selectively revealing information seems key, and that is how human IRL sharing works -- secrets are only secret to the extent people keep them. I want human dynamics as primary behavioral mode.

Yes, Elon has destroyed twitter even further since one could always be sly to avoid bans, but now everyone is shadowbanned.

However, the circlejerk that is nostr is not actually a live/viable ecosystem today/yet. Nostr is lifeless and shilling won't change that. Can you think harder (about 2nd order cybernetics)?

Given every URL has an encryption key, it is usually not possible to render a preview like other social media objects / links. However, it is entirely possible to have apps know to go and fetch render data (e.g. wyrd quotes can render sub-wyrds), so I drafted a NIP to enable NOSTR to better support ...

To be anti-statist broadly is a will to communism -- what?

Yes, well, where are you actually changing things in a particular way rather than complaining like common rabble with mere ideology?

Bitcoiners have few exports, their companies are fake -- perhaps the price is low because the bitcoiner is ugly?

Good question. I'm just trying to get the primitives right at the moment. If anyone knew the answer of how to bootstrap a protocol then they wouldn't tell us for free ๐Ÿ˜…

Read through it a bit more. Seems interesting. My question remains as to how you bootstrap it? Nostr also is not being bootstrapped effectively. Where is there a minimum viable pattern of behavior that is economically incentivized that will repeat and be copied?
