How can you protect your real first and last name from being used on #nostr? Is there a solution to this (or might there be a future solution to it?

The Zoo Hypothesis is interesting. It holds that alien life exists but are deliberately avoiding contact with us because they recognise some value in leaving us alone.

If intelligent alien life is discovered, should we make contact?

On Space Ethics: "Thorley and Gunn (2007) rely heavily on the testimony of indigenous people. To extend their approach and taking the Earth as whole, situated in outer space, the entire human population is indigenous. Whether Earthlings or Spacelings, humanity exists on this tiny planet and its interests as a whole depend on the welfare of both Earth and space. My point here is that, to follow Tilley’s argument that valueless space becomes valued place by virtue of its relationality, the Earth does not exist in isolation, but in terms of its relationships with other celestial bodies. It is actually in outer space, surrounded by it, part of it. In that sense, the boundary between space on Earth and the ‘outer space’ beyond the Earth’s atmosphere disappears. Organic life is only sustained on the Earth by its relationship with the Sun and Moon and, in turn, our solar system only exists in relation to the Milky Way, our galaxy, and our galaxy is part of a greater structure which underpins our entire universe."

Decentralized money will completely change how nation states will evolve. Bitcoin won't be the magical solution to unite politically divided people, but it will loosen up the use of money as a tool for the state to enforce its power. The Bitcoin economy will keep growing and we should all keep an eye on the governments who will adapt instead of fight it.

Currently reading 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections' by Carl Jung. Probably finish it tomorrow. Anybody else here who has read it?

Interest on bitcoin is a farce. Don't fall for it.

protonmail vs. tutamail. Any thoughts?

How are we humans not going to f*ck up in outer space? Space debris is already starting to be a concern. Is AI the only solution to alter our 'humaness', to make sure we collaborate instead of fall into our traps (prisoners dilemma, free-rider problem, sum cost trap, game theory, revenge seeking, etc.)?

"I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure."

"The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascist" - Churchill. Looking at antifa in 2024 I can only agree. Making sure they are not recognizable, making a lot of noise to make sure the other group is not heard and being anti-feminists (thinking that a transperson with a penis should be able to enter a womans lockerroom is insane) is not anti-fascism for sure.

He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures - Nietzsche

Like oxygen to a fire, obstacles and adversity should become fuel for your potential.

Any philosophical nostrians who are worth a follow?
