“Supporters of global warming theories vary. Some truly believe, some are brainwashed, some join to keep an academic career going, others know it is politically correct, but the real philosophic motivation came from the authoritarians who sought more power and resented progress. Some are also neo-Malthusians, who see a grave danger in an unwanted pregnancy and population growth that compounds the threat to the environment. They do not understand how industrial growth in a free market is the only solution to poverty and hunger.” — Ron Paul, Liberty Defined

Why does Jack keep posting “pv 🌞”?

The Fed is an incredibly convoluted machine that our own congress doesn’t understand. I’d hardly call anyone an idiot for not understanding how the Fed works and the implications of its actions.

I still have no idea how to mention someone.

@jack when you started Twitter and the first few thousand joined, was it all kind of metaconversation? When did it start to become a “microblog”? I joined Twitter in 2009, and all the conversation was really personable. Wondering when/if Nostr facilitates something like that.

Isn’t it weird that MySpace, Facebook, Twitter were all created around the same time? Let’s not forget Friendster.
MySpace wasn’t ready to submit to the CIA’s will, so the CIA ended them.
100% the former three were created by the CIA. The last sounds Russian.

Change my mind.
Crypto was created by the CIA to steal our money to fund their heinous crimes and reprensible existence.

I don’t think that’s shallow thinking. I love the idea of free markets. I wish we lived in them.
I probably tend to be more cautious about new things than most. Put another way, I tend to try to solve problems before they exist—even if they might never exist. Money tends to change behavior. New tech changes behavior. A double helix of money and tech together will certainly change behavior. It’s people’s right: no one should get in their way—still, I have my caution about such a change.

I think microtransactions could be a negative, economically, in the long run. It’ll be a fundamental shift in how people spend their money: less basics, like good food, clothes, social experiences. More “let me pay this rando site a few units of currency to store my profile picture to this random social network because I want to down with the down and in”. Nothing wrong with doing the latter. I just hope people use their faculties to make good decisions and realize they don’t need to top up their tokens to GPTChat—they need to have their friends over and cook dinner for them instead. Maybe I’m thinking a little too black mirror, tech dystopia here; but that’s what microtransactions prognosticate to me.

I love capitalism. Anyone should be able to charge whatever they want for whatever product they sell.
I’m still not into giving 100 sats for every micro interaction I want to have with technology. And won’t do it (hopefully).

ELI5 decentralization. Including the tech. Nostr doesn’t live on aws. Where does it live?

Too bad my 9-year-old Mac stops me from enabling on my iPhone.

How do you post a Lightning invoice? Lol. Is this just about everyone sharing/giving each other BTC (or, the smaller denomination, sats)?
