1 and 4 , separately or together. Also 2 is very tempting but I am slightly scared, i'd only agree if a boost of sensory abilities will go with a boost in brain capacity to process input information received by senses. I am not tempted by IQ boosts bc humans' problem is not low IQ, ability to boost IQ should be only possible with the boost in EI or whatever you call the essence of "humanness" . Tbh my priority would be to remain human , so if any enhancements means that I may become a non-human entity , I'd pass. I think the most secure enhancement from this point of view is only 1 option.

What's the first thing comes to mind when you see this picture ??? #ask #askstr #asknostr https://m.primal.net/KxXt.jpg

I know first thought should be about football and Maradona. But this grey tailored two-breasted jacket and young and fit Maradona made my mind go into totally different direction. But First I thought about Argentinian flag - that you can hardly confuse it with any other. Then I thought how much I miss double-breasted jackets. Not every man can pull this outfit together , not to mention tailoring part - very difficult, bc it’s very easy to make a man look chunky, fat and short-legged. Tricky style. Also Maradona - this tie and earring 👌 I don’t know the date of the photo , but it looks like late 80-s early 90-s . Ppl were fierce, stylish and sexy but still elegant, clean and human-like back then. Almost forgotten skill. Nicccce 🙌

Unpopular opinion.. The dream of Bitcoin was over when Satoshi left. No body can function without a head

Body can’t function without a head - that is true but not for every organism :) bitcoin is not like a human body - it is more like an octopus’s body (maybe there is a better analogy but I don’t have one now). octopus has its neurons distributed across the whole body, and 2/3 of all neurons are in its limbs. Octopus has partially decentralized nervous system 😊 so it’s not a perfect analogy but a decent analogy. Also imagine an organism which has fully decentralized nervous system. I can think of one , can you 😉?

nostr:npub1e4qg56wvd3ehegd8dm7rlgj8cm998myq0ah8e9t5zeqkg7t7s93q750p76 is working on a new logo for nostr.build, what do you all like best: A, B or C? https://i.nostr.build/mJQx.png

B is very pleasing in terms of colors and general aestethics but the nostrich (bird) element in B is almost unrecognisable and even confusing . A has the best bird representation out of all imo but A looks like it's missing something. C - the most original, creative and finished one, also lego connotations, vintage aestethics but for me this is not an obvious choice :) maybe bc the nostrich element sticks out of the general bounderies of the logo (cube)? There is sth unconventional in this but once you see C you will never forget or confuse it with another one, for sure.

Just got the message that my friend died. We all knew that it’s coming , she’s been fighting cancer for the last few years. But the fact of knowing doesn’t change anything. She was an exceptional person: as a psychologist and counsellor she has helped a lot of ppl, transformed their lives in a positive way. And the way she handled her illness was sth I never saw before - “do not go gentle into that good night” , no complaints , no despair or giving up, she was working with ppl almost till the very end. Iron Lady :) I know it’s a selfish feeling - but I will miss her always, and a lot of ppl outside of her family will miss her. I think this is an ultimate test on life - whether there will be at least one person outside of you family who will miss you when you are gone, when your body is gone :) I hope you are doing well :)
