An interesting moment below this note that is worth pointing out. The note implies a factually inaccurate conclusion. The target of the implication corrects the record. And then the insinuator has to apologize. All of the exchange permanently etched into the nostr timeline.
In all of the other platforms, the comment would have been taken down and memory holed. But nostr is permanent, so the best thing the OP can do is admit wrongness and apologize.
This has a multivalent consequences, but a few that come to mind are that as this mode of communication is adopted and distributed, it will change the way we speak to each other on the social layer, hopefully making us more accountable, conscious and cautious about the language we use—which seems like probably a good thing.
But it will also create a permanent record that can be used to lock future versions of ourselves into the thoughts of previously iterated ideas by older versions of ourselves. This is problematic in public discourse because you can say something 20 years ago and someone might be reading it for the first time in the present moment—and thus rendering present moment conclusions about a version of you that has long ago changed its mind.
This is maybe an old and permanent problem of literacy, and certainly of literature, that the author's older work is not necessarily their best, but always nonetheless sets the bar for expectations.
What does it mean for our consciousness that writing is necessarily a kind of recording, and also necessarily a kind of fundamental lie—that the jumbled mess of thoughts, ideas and emotions that is always in flux un our sense of self could ever be represented and captured in a solid, stable way?
Bard seems to be judging jack (npub1sg6…f63m). Read the last sentence.
