I find it tremendously ironic that the invention of the welfare state, ostensibly to help those in need, has effectively destroyed our sense of community duty and care for our neighbors. It’s allowed us to convince ourselves that it’s “not our job” to look after each other like we used to. People love to argue that without the state those in need would be left behind. I staunchly believe this to be untrue and downright patronizing. Most people, most of the time, are fundamentally good and generous.

Ooh, I just had a call about something super fun with two giga brains that has the potential to make Nostr overall so much more private...
