This podcast with nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and myself talking with Jack and Nick, about the paper they released today is going to create some huge debates....

Came to nostr to ask about this. I understand how what they claim about quantized time, quantized everything, applies to the bitcoin system, but they go on to say that this implies that physical reality also has quantized everything.

This is a lens too

Everyone here self selected to be here

It provides a very narrow segment of actual reality

Even if I were to acknowledge you’re ideological objections to X, I’d argue it still provides a more representative picture of what people in the world think

It seems like you're describing a social media platform or online community, specifically the lens through which it provides a view of reality. Here's an analysis of your statement: * "Everyone here self-selected to be here" suggests that the users of this platform have chosen to be part of it, po...

I thank God for Nostr. Seriously. To see the world through the manipulated lens of IG, X, or some other exploitative medium, it becomes impossible to see what the real nature of the world is, and it...

Indeed. We're still in a bubble. Difference is that it's a bubble of our own choice instead of a pushed algoritm.
