Yeah, I don't get it. Steak is good, salad is also good. I don't need to put veggies and steak through some chemical process to disguise them as each other.

I hadn't noticed that!
Maybe it's the lack of moderation. Like a boxing match wouldn't work the same if there were no ropes. The overton window pushes people together like bugs in a jar. No jar, no fight, the bugs will just leave. Just two bugs not bugging each other.

Yeah I watched that one today. It makes more sense as an explanation than anything else. James Lindsay lays our ESG philosophy as basically adapted Marxism. So what we are seeing is a communist marionette system silencing it's adversaries.

Within a capitalist society there are organizations like the nuclear family or an Amish barnraising that usually operate as a limited or unlimited collective for a specific time or purpose. But even families need to be able to cut off dysfunctional and abusive people.
Oh course Marxism was never about this kind of voluntary sharing. Marx wanted to hang all the capitalists and managers.

If I write something on (say) twitter, everyone who follows me can see it, and anyone who searches can theoretically see it. But on nostr, only people who share a relay with me can see it, right?

When we say "right" or "true" we can sometimes mean something factual (it rained yesterday), or something moral (it's wrong to murder), but other times we are talking about the right strategy, or the right mental model.
I like the humility (is that the right word?) in your description of this. But when people say "my truth" and "your truth" I think sometimes they are allowing themselves to be content with a local minima (philosophically) because it feels good to them rather than seeking the truth in a more universal sense. Like your example of gravity, there are layers or contexts to truth where a mental model works within boundaries, but needs to expand when more contexts are considered.
Are we, as humans, seeking a good-enough mental model and retreating to a context where that model bears fruit, or are we reaching for greater understanding of the universe, and staying "on the road" toward the truth as much as we are able to?

I'm new to this but I kind of like the idea of zapping when someone is providing, say, "how-to" content, answering a knowledge question, or original art that took some effort or expertise on their part. If I just agree with someone's opinion, the like button makes more sense to me.

Yes - ban the action not the actor. Whatever they think the app is doing (siphoning data / spying / etc) ban those things.

Yes. Freedom of speech is essential as it enables the search for the truth. But as a society, we will fail if we aren't actually searching for the truth. The freedom is essential but not sufficient.
But society has to have some common values - for example, is it child abuse to transition your child, or to refuse to do so? Or do parents just own their children for any purpose? A decision has to be made on this kind of question, you can't have it all ways.

An impartial AI is a pipe dream. More accurate to say, a manifestation of human biases. The bias of the input information and alignment process determines the outcome.

Everyone is loyal to their family. So the government, and a thousand other groups want to be your family instead of your actual family.
