Sat down yesterday to write a page about wisdom for Nostr and this is what came out https://i.imgflip.com/8nwapo.jpg April 24th, 2024 - Wisdom, Competition and Success Nostr is a strangely wise place. It's good because it helps us appreciate what we have while sharing collective insights about the future. For example we know Nostr is small but that each platform that grows and dies gives us a chance to make it the next big one. Talk to a CEO in their early days and they tend to be idealistic wishing to democratize the net or disrupt finance but time and time again as the numbers grow they get more focused on the bottom line. The money and power displace the ideals. This is one reason we believe decentralization is so important. It places a ceiling on how much power any one entity can amass. The downside of this however is it can extend as a philosophy into everything. No relay should get too big. No client should get too much market share or strong-arm the protocol. In this way romance for freedom and decentralization can majorly slow us down. We know our principles around open source software, resiliency of decentralization and the freedom to tinker. We'll always have those. It's important however to be mindful that competition to create the next dominant platform is fierce. The wise path is to rally around what's working best today.
What I don't understand is if the Agents can take away Neo's mouth how come they can't like take away all of the hackers legs when they try to run?
Been watching the Matrix trilogy this week and finding a lot more there than when it first came out. At first I was put off by the humans as batteries thing but once you get past that, the embedded philosophy feels prescient with respect to how digital our lives have become. Always fun to see the red/blue pilling scene as well. https://i.nostr.build/5G54r.png Also enjoyed this article tying the story in with other works. https://fivebooks.com/best-books/quantum-physics-reality-jim-baggott/#book-57085 #matrix #redpill #bluepill

OMG I love the Kandinsky so much. Might have to make a print! Excellent work.
OK, feel free to DM with any questions
Thank you! Can you do the style of Matisse or Kandinsky?
Hmm, this isn't the usual lost contact list type bug then? nostrudel is showing you're following lots of people. That or you've recovered it.
Friends and foes here may contend, A wiki of notes where all views blend. Links amassed from bot and man, Pages chronicling every Dan. nostr:nevent1qqsya7kczgfn5n36098lp5j544dc7h3pa6hp6xnjyqxs29txunzujqqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgspw5udc2nzw6wsj3plrrphe0343744h0ucz9e4g248chl3w8kh03qrqsqqqqqp0gxjdq
What's the last client you tried to follow someone from before the loss event?
Wikifreedia: The encyclopedia for your friends and enemies. I like where this is going.
Wikifreedia is an encyclopedia made by your friends.
For many Nostr is going to be valuable as a fallback to reconnect with new accounts on CSM where the massive attention pool is.
As a first time visitor, what is a provider and which one should i choose? I'd love to see how the WoT works!
Fun! Fun seems a good principle. A lot of what centralized social media does decreases the genuine good time that we can have. Zaps and zapathons perfect examples.
With your handle, Peak. It's a 10/10 if you want inspiration to develop skills. My notes on it: https://wiki.davidsterry.com/book-notes/peak
Good idea and maybe an iPad after that!
Thinking about buying a typewriter. Any nostrites been there done that? Writing by hand every day has been amazing so a typewriter feels like a natural next step. #asknostr
