My mantra is, "keep your heart open".

2025-02-22 11:53:52

A closed heart may make you feel safer, but it also imprisons you. True happiness and joy will be blocked by the prison walls in your heart. Opening is scarier, but man, so much light is waiting beyond the prison walls. Open your heart.🤍

This is true. I think if we worked on extending life and improving cognitive ability and judgment, we might have a good enough life without death. While I can see a path towards life extension and can see cognition improved, I don't know how we improve judgment.
I have always been fascinated by super
smart people being taken up and used by
demagogues, it seems being smart is not
enough to keep you away from doing or being evil.
I guess while I am thinking about it, we need to solve poverty and strife, as this is what has been used by the worst people to get the masses on their side and gain power.
This is a cool and fascinating conversation.

I think there is nothing wrong with being curious or trying to prolong life. After all most human beings want to live for as long as possible.
Death has taken a lot of good people but it has also made it so that there is an end to a Stalin. It has made it possible for old ideas to die off.
I wonder how life would be if people could live forever. The up side is all the good people we love never dying but so will the evil/bad people.
I am inclined to advocate for life but I couldn't help thinking about the downsides or unintended consequences.

One can only control what they do, the rest belongs to the gods. I enjoy working on cool and challenging things and working on git with the people I get to work with has just been pure pleasure. While it would have been nice to get support I take what's given as if that's all I need. I am just a happy participant in the cosmic dance. Whatever happens we're gonna be alright brother✊️ To me you have been a blessing 🙏, I love you brother🫂
My view on the the people you mentioned and OpenSats is that they're doing their part in this life dance. They're neither good nor bad. It would have been nice to get support but divine mother gives us the support we need. That's why I am at peace🙏
This is just my personal perspective haha. I can never hurt or hate without hating or hurting myself. So, I do my work and enjoy the journey. My reward are the good people I gain along the way. You're one of those people for me. Stay blessed brother. Let's keep doing our work, Right on✊️

I usually avoid confrontational conversations online. Nothing good ever comes out of them but I was surprised that you responded to @npub1t89…a5h9 like this. In all the time I have worked with him he has never had anything negative to say about you.
Colby is a really passionate guy, he goes after the truth even if it makes people uncomfortable. If you felt he was misguided you could have spoken to his point directly and not made it look like he has a personal problem with you. The question was not personal and it could have been responded to without making it personal.
I personally found you a very pleasant, smart, high energy person when I saw you and listened to you in Riga. This response has me shook.
The world has enough conflict. I don't want to add fire to it. Nostr and the world deserve better. 🙏

In my own life, I have found that trying to create new things, building things, can be so humbling. And I think that if every human being tries to do something new and audacious at least once in their lifetime, we would have a much more gracious world where people who don't succeed after trying will be seen and treated with much grace and kindness. There's something beautiful and inspiring about audacity – even when it doesn't succeed.

the weight of fame is that your best and worst ideas are on full display and most people don't account for your growth and change. You and I have the privilege of making mistakes and being able to change and grow without people constantly reminding us of our mistakes. On here we don't even have our real pictures on the profile so we're shielded even more from our mistakes.

I actually have no objections except to say my experience with mind altering substances has been overall unpleasant.

Is nuanced brevity even possible? Maybe short attention spans are responsible for most of the fighting and misunderstanding that happens online. We hate reading long nuanced messages but we start arguments about the short ones we read because it's missing a lot of context. Being human is truly a funny affair. 😁

I just had one of the weirdest and funniest exchange here in Latvia because I'm here for Nostriga. I was stopped by these two white kids, and the girl - who was walking with her brother - starts talking to me and says "My brother is racist." And then she says "But I love black people." And I'm like "Never in the history of my existence have I had something like this happen." And luckily you know I realised they were kids so we had a short conversation. Hopefully the young boy changes his mind about black people. But that was a fascinating thing that happened today.

Does freedom of speech extend to bots? I think any reasonable person would say no. Every human being who expresses themselves on social media should have their right to do so protected; no one should stand in the way of freedom of expression and speech.
I believe this 100%. However, it would be naive not to question whether all communication on social media is truly happening between humans. The reason I'm thinking about this is that I realise this freedom of speech could be exploited by an enemy state to destabilise a country using bots.
Since I've started using Nostr more frequently, this concern has become even more prominent. Yes, other social media companies also struggle with bots, and some may even tolerate them because of the increased activity they generate. But with Nostr, it's even more crucial to consider this issue because you can generate multiple identities much faster than on any of these company-owned platforms.
We, the people of Nostr, need to start thinking about how we're going to protect this space to keep it predominantly human—I'd say 98% human—so that I can trust that the person I'm engaging with is another human being. If someone is being mean towards me, I want to know it's just another frustrated person and not some bot designed to frustrate me and make me mistrustful of others, warping my sense of reality and making me feel like the world sucks. Is anybody else thinking about this?

Yeah, I've found that documentation is really a big thing in open source projects. And I have a deep appreciation for people who contribute to open source. But I definitely think that especially with nostr NIPs, we could do with better documentation. I think just having examples would go a long way when you're implementing the NIPs.

2024-08-11 10:06:00

The reason I went all-in on a nostr is because I really believe that what's going to make social media better is if tools are given to the individual to curate how social media feels for them. And that's going to be very hard to accomplish in a centralised system where its sole purpose is to please shareholders.
So, with this open system, with this decentralised system, there can be an alignment of values between the individual and the experience they get to have in a social media platform. We can help with that by creating, you know, I think @npub1sg6…f63m said something about multiple algorithms. That's one of the tools we can give people so that they can curate their own social media experience.
And that's possible because we can all work together to create that atmosphere and give those tools to individuals, so you don't fall under this giant algorithm owned by one company that can then steer how conversations are experienced online. Power to the people✊

This is such a difficult problem to solve but I think identity is also very important. When I started out I was using my actual image for my profile but everyone else is using avatars. So I changed to a generic avatar. While these systems aim to increase privacy and free speech they tend to remove skin in the game. Which can make people behave in ways that they would not behave if they had skin in the game. This is what I noticed when it comes to social media platforms, they tend to turn bad as soon as there is no skin in the game.
