Indeed, axioms are 'a priori', proved by deduction and reason and not by observation.
I think the DM specs need a 'request conversation' feature that would include some challenge; web-of-trust, pow or lightning/ecash payment. Once that was setup, messages would flow without that full requirement, peer-to-peer if possible, stored on relays if away. I haven't kept up-to-date on all the R&D for DMs to know if that's been included or developed.

Another classic book! And also funny.
This is decribed on p. 134 of 'Just for Fun' by Linus Torvalds.
The Linux trademark was necessary because someone uninvolved with the project registered it, not Linus or Linux International. Linus now has it because it, according to lawyers, the case to make it public domain was more complex and risky than to argue it should have been his based on prior art. It wasn't a generic term. nostr:nevent1qqsvqdz2385ghsy3dh87zn4xnqfanvscrd6s65ft7rgxxs658x2dvrspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7q3qr0ulywwu593kzjdu9uluxdq80t54n65kql9vl9z7lrutkgnachssxpqqqqqqz2xvkcu

and LLMs (relevancy) and sats (outside wot/networks)
A Nostr based CMS, like WordPress, might do well. Seems unusual that it's all been about trademarks.

This topic seems woefully undeveloped in recent times. This essay by Thomas J. DiLorenzo, now president of the Mises Institute, seems to be one of the most recent? https://mises.org/review-austrian-economics/myth-natural-monopoly There is a book cited, however it is near impossible to find anymore, it's titled "Direct Electric Utility Competition: The Natural Monopoly Myth" by Walter J. Primeaux, Jr. (1986). Any others?

Relay config likely.
Not Nostr, but Mostr nostr:nprofile1qqsp3ld0y03hv0xjruu4w73kwhutmr4ngywvm3upzcktzjj03mrp6ucpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qvjfcw5
Also on my reading list. Crypto by Stephen Levy have also been great.
Legendary.
The first Nostr conference in Uvita was kinda like that, complete with a river.

There was a podcast on Cultural Apothecary that was making these claims (not smoking though)... seemed absurd (to get attention) but who knows. Stranger things have been incorrect.
Classic book!

It's becoming increasingly important to have an ebook reader/tablet either with eink or a higher refresh rate one as from DC-1 from nostr:nprofile1qqswhhhf99z77pfg80s2c00z27rusxn2tzss7450n34krkwa2yadhtgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuerkv36zuer9wcq3vamnwvaz7tmpw5h8yetvv9ukzcnvv5hx7un8lpntld Some historically relevant books are only available now as ebooks as they are out of print, and quite difficult to find used. Some new cypherpunk ones never really going to print, in the full meaning.
