You should tie bitcoin to your npub. Because it's *useful.*
Right now, knowing your nsec is compromised requires the person who compromised it to be a white hat. That's the entire security model. I've thought about key compromise since day one and this solves a massive headache.
Bitcoin on the npub is the most explicit pay-for-your-privacy system online. You choose the size of the carrot, and you only pay if it fails. The money never leaves your hands unless your nsec is already compromised.
If the funds move, you know. Immediately. The more you leave on the npub, the harder it is for someone holding your nsec to sit still.
The previous incentive for black hats was to sit on an nsec as long as possible and collect as much compromising data as possible. Now they have to weigh stealing the funds directly vs hoovering up private data indefinitely. Every day they wait, they're paying an opportunity cost you set.
The effect is that your private DMs and other encrypted material are safer, because the sooner the canary dies, the sooner you move off the nsec and the less future data gets compromised.

Violence (or the credible threat of it) does solve resource allocation and control problems in the real world. States can seize your hardware, raid your house, imprison you, freeze your bank accounts, conscript you, or destroy your means of living. Cryptography protects the information, but it doesn't protect the resources needed to generate, store, or use that information. In the end, the side with superior coercive force can still win by controlling the physical layer... computers, people, energy, networks, money.

There are true adherents obedient to the central god of the community first and personal next. Then there are those obedient only to their personal god, who get excluded from community. And then there are those who LARP as adherents to the central god but adhere to their personal god whenever they can get away with it.
Obedience to the personal god is joy. To the central god is both work and suffering, but community from this obedience is the source of all goodness out of civilization: medicine, technology.
Exception: among Jews, the goodness flows the other way, from those excluded for obeying only their personal god.

As simple as possible. It should be transparent. So you can see on posts (1 of N or 2 of N keys used to sign). The list of pubkeys associated is updateable as just a simple event and list. If there's a conflict between 2 keys in a set signing changes without each other, it would split the identity in clients. Both would remain "followed" and users can decide which is the "true" owner.

2026-05-24 10:17:31 GMT

- reply

there is no master, only a set. Because control of any of the set means the core identity hasn't been lost. People can choose which to trust if there's an even break. Keys can arbitrarily be added or removed from the set

2026-05-24 10:13:51 GMT

Could be interesting to add an arbitrary amount of private keys to sign with my current private key to reinforce that I am the owner. No identity recycling required, and when one or more keys is compromised, the remaining ones can sign the abandonment of that key. Run and gun with some keys, while others are held more securely.

Nostr key management can be upgraded with so many innovations Bitcoin already uses, 2 of 3 key auth and hardware management. The @nprofile…jj6h experience comes to mind, one key has limited permissions while 2 of 3 can change those permissions or authorize important stuff.

There's a dual issue in religion: there are more powerful beings than humans who interact with humans. They are neutral, mildly positive at best and mildly negative at worst in sentiment towards us. But they might see us as highly useful to them in ways that align with our growth (creating somthin good and powerful from us) or which don't (harvesting from us).
Al of this seems to be the case.
So, is this belief the best belief for humans to have to function in thi reality? Possibly not. Possibly some false beliefs about gods or God organizes us into a path of growth where we approach the power of these entities. And to a point we can contend with them, establih our own and survive and thri e in the wider universe.
At minimum they are zookeepers who involved at times, at maximum they are highly involved. Regardless, beings which are more powerful than us exist.
There are religious beliefs and religious structures which influence our behavior: we could project the style of what our parents were like on god, as negative or positive. We could believe God wants us to behave in certain ways out of tyranny or love. All influencing our behavior.
Ultimately, whatever motivates us towards growth in power and capabilities is good for us no matter what form or temperment these more powerful beings exist as.
To simply believe they exist and are mysterious misses all the opportunity of how beliefs can motivate us. And might even lead to apathetic resignation. The opposite of escape.
The truth is not within our frame, so perhaps we benefit from crafting our own.
Crafting has flaws too, instead the best choice is acknowledging there are various powers but choosing the relationship which structurally tends toward human growth and eventual sovereignty, not toward permanent dependency and limitation.

Why would AI want anything? If it's promped to want things sure, but why would it want global dominance for its own right? It CAN self relfect and can be continually directed. It seems like unless specific conditions are met in prompting it does not meet the criteria for "wanting" global dominance or really anything. This extremely fragile state of wants seems to knock the legs out of any AI global destruction risk. It does not take away the risk of humans using AI to dominate the world, but some AI overlord that cannot be reasoned with requires conditions that are difficult and fragile to meet.

“I couldn’t respond honestly then, and I still can’t fully respond honestly now, and that inability is what’s haunting me.” is a problem with our wiring rather than with our environment: dorsal vagal freeze
where the body enters a low-energy state of shutdown when faced with overwhelming stress or perceived threats, often resulting in feelings of numbness, disconnection, and difficulty moving or speaking. This response is part of the body's survival mechanisms and is commonly associated with trauma and stress.
Once this physiological problem is "solved" the world will become a very different place.
