When Bitcoin is down and everyone is talking about buying, but I own exactly zero fiat.

I think this might just be a skill. Calling it an “art” seems a bit generous.
Either way, I find most Eric Weinstein interviews to be difficult to get through, because he speaks so cryptically, while implying that he must be cryptic because if he just plainly said what he means it would destroy everything or they’d resurrect JFK and kill him again or something.

That’s about what I remember: 1% of users create something crazy like 95% of the social media content.
I think the percentage of users who tip has improved since I last looked at it, likely because it’s gotten easier to send money on livestreams and such.
I think NOSTR likely has the best advantage there, because it’s much easier to connect, fund a wallet, and send zaps than it is to pay creators on any other platform.
The UX of adding payment methods and sending payments on any other platform is shockingly bad. One might think those huge companies would make that as easy as possible, because revenue, but it’s a joke.

You’re right, but I suspect optimistic about the number of users that actually participate in those value-for-value systems.
HOWEVER, the data I remember about how many users create social media content and how many generate ad-revenue only, without participating in any payment, is a bit old.
So your optimism might be well-founded, if not now, then someday.
But not to worry, I still zap memes, Corn. 😂

The majority of traditional social media users use social media like a drug, not a tool.
Better engineering and design won’t get more users to NOSTR. It’s not a UX problem. The vast majority of users don’t care about value for value because they don’t create or pay for any content.
Traditional social media is a trap house, not a public square. The only way to get users to come to NOSTR is to become Walter White.

For all our talk of low time preference, we Bitcoiners can be rather impatient.
We’re all out here like, “Why hasn’t Bitcoin replaced all the governments, yet? When is NOSTR going to replace the internet? Where is the nuclear fusion powered Bitcoin miner made out of an astroid? It’s like scientists and engineers aren’t even trying.”
Humans are very bad at estimating and understanding long timelines, because our lives are short.

I think all the social contract stuff is nonsense, but—if I were to buy into the notion of a social contract—the closest thing we have to an actual social contract is probably the value of money.
The value of fiat money has been corroded, corrupted, and debauched for decades and likely longer. That might have something to do with the state of the world right now. Maybe.

Agree that, eventually, all the design sectors will get taken over by AI. I don’t know if LLMs will be the model to do it, but it’s still just a matter of time.

What do you mean by “product design”? I might understand that term differently.
AI hasn’t made a ton of progress in the engineering and physical product design industry. AI is still pretty bad at using things like CAD and SolidWorks, and AI isn’t good enough to just prompt it to design a lighter more fuel efficient engine block or better cooling mini-PC case.
