I’m curious about the value of attention, so let’s try a fun little experiment:
If I don’t already follow you, and you’d like me to, zap this note and I’ll give you mindshare.
10k sats - 1wk
50k sats - 3mos
100k sats - 6mos
250k sats - 9mos
500k sats - 1yr
I read my timeline regularly and I like to repost high quality content for all to enjoy. No other guarantees.
Include someone else’s npub and I’ll follow them instead. If you send me something I find ethically dubious or morally repugnant I will decline and refund you less 10%.

Humans have not yet mastered complexity but we’re getting there. We mostly fiddle with complication.
I define it as such:
A pocket watch is complicated. It has many moving parts that interact to produce something appearing as life. It can be taken apart, studied, labeled, and put back together.
A bird is complex. You can take it apart, but something fundamental breaks when you do that and it’s not so easy to put back together.

Imagine x and y as a collapsed representation of 3-dimensional space.
Now imagine the time axis as a series of snapshots.
You eat a blueberry. The blueberry’s matter is dis-integrated from its familiar shape and re-integrated into yours.
Some time later you expire. The matter that makes up you is dispersed in some fashion (you are cremated, decompose, maybe are eaten, etc). Your familiar shape falls prey to entropy, just as the blueberry did.
Imagine this happening to everything everywhere.
We are all collections of strands woven together into the fabric of spacetime.
We are one.

Complexity is not easy for humans to grasp. We look at most things through the lens of complication, rather than complexity and it confuses us.

Thank you for the clarification. I think we still disagree at a fundamental level but I have no issue with politely disagreeing on how the universe works. I don’t think we will convince one another, so we’ll just leave it at “different strokes for different folks”.

Blinding oneself in order to ease discomfort ends up becoming a disability, not a strength.
