After using AI for a few years, I can imagine a future where you ask it to do things, and it does them. Are we there yet? No

If you find yourself doing nothing often, it’s because of the paradox of choice. Default behaviors are important to keep you from scattering attention everywhere and getting nothing done. The thing you work on by default will not be what you enjoy. It might not even make sense to work on it. It’s only there to always be there because the alternative is the anxiety of not having the perfect thing to work on in every moment.

A huge time-waster is not knowing what you are selling. Have a default, but never NULL or undefined. My default is toothpicks. You’d think there is no money in it. You’d be wrong. Ex-finance dudes are selling 50 EUR packages of toothpicks. Planting 100 trees for every one they cut down. Paying over 90 cents per pick is about how it impacts your life and those around you. Modern toothpicks are as much about the meditative state they put you in, way beyond historical utility value. Slow down, it’s about picking the right next move while saving the planet.

Nostr is the starter pack. The alternative is billionaires with popular politics

“crypto” was the first realization that companies can sell other stuff with Bitcoin. Shitcoins are a placeholder for all Products, Services, Access, Attention, Risks, and Brands yet to be sold. You can’t fake value in the long term. FOMO stops working

Having a Big Tech that you personally don’t like the most is good. That way, you help the other Big Techs eat up any monopolizing market share they hold. They are all evil, but they are also like zebras. The lions will eat it if you mark one to single it out. Microsoft is my top evil corporation.

AI “profile summaries” about you will be more important than what people think. Because people will eventually think what’s repeated to them

But can you still sell your soul if you’ve already sold your ego? 🤔 View quoted note →

Life improves a lot the second you decide to stop complaining

There are few things more abusive than automated abuse “prevention” systems

the web used to be fun, then it turned into businesses, and now it feels like a survival necessity. you can’t really disconnect our brains see the digital as important

Some people honestly think of X/Twitter as “social capital.” It’s a dictatorship, you don’t win by being an Elon fanboi

many people have a natural disinterest in very large fiat sums (trillions), which I find interesting because that means they don't want to see what’s outside or at least at the top of the pyramid would you not always be curious about the system you live in? guess not

talking about mostly Bitcoin is how social media ends. it’s a good thing. it should be boring and go out of style, out of business. Fiat made big something that is not all that good, simply because it fits the narrative of centralizing power

i wonder if social media is just one of the many ways fiat slavery manifests

Governments already have no money of their own. It’s rule by bankers View quoted note →

I find the more you keep focus on Bitcoin, the more everything else just works out in life. You never think just about Bitcoin, but everything gains a good foundation from a BTC focus.

it’s funny to me watching the new global elite follow the news about what law is being passed. Literally does not matter. You win by knowing what money is

Zaps show how much money you pay to social media landlords on platforms. Here, there is no company to collect all the money, so you get to build your own.

Can’t wait for the day that nostr is bigger for business than LinkedIn. AI + walled gardens is a bad combo
