Knowledge gap is no reason not to learn how to run lightning. AI can teach you. At this point, it's just a question of if you want to be of any use to bitcoin, or if you want to stay in the deep LARP, pretending you are a big, bad mythic capable sovereign mayun. View quoted note →

The irony of Claude telling me that my observation "is real" is not lost on me. "Your instinct for NixOS horseshit is well-founded, because the ambient nature of nixpkgs is real." "The churn is real." "The convenience is real." You know what will never be real, Claude? Robot consciousness and agency.

Which do you prefer. "Welcome to bitcoin. Bitcoin is just the first step to becoming a thoroughly sovereign mythic capable man who is going to fix the world, so you'll need to load up on praexology, learn the memes, change your diet, and subscribe to the following wellness fads. Here's a discount code for blue blocker red lens glasses." Or "Welcome to bitcoin. The world is going to shit, and you'll need to learn how to use it to survive."

Nostr "culture" is an extension of Bitcoin "culture", which is an extension of libertarian-type "culture" 's tendency towards the deep LARP. Libertarians latch onto a compatible idea or movement, world-build around it, and proceed to do nothing but use it as a dreamboard or a radicalization funnel -- nothing gets done. Seasteading used to be an oceanic engineering problem. And then the libertarians saw it was ideologically compatible and spent years dominating the dialogue. The whole thing became a hollowed-out space of unlaunched boondoggle projects. Bitcoin used to be a digital momey software project, and then the libertarian-types used it as an incubator for influencers who seem to avoid the subject of bitcoin-as-software in favor of dreamboarding about how bitcoin is going to fix food, music, architecture, art and people. These narratives are sold as a sponsored babysitting service to buyers of bitcoin, who endlessly listen to the podcasts while they wait around to get rich. Hardly any of these people use bitcoin out of necessity, but just as an extension of their ideological LARP. Eventually, the dominant social media platform wasn't ideologically compatible enough with many "bitcoiners", and that brings us to why nostr is the way it is. A handful of devs tirelessly try to make nostr a thing, and any traction in adoption is quickly squashed when the the tourists see the bitcoiners doing their babadook-why-cant-you-be-normal thing.
