I just realized that using Nostr never required me to switch from anything, simply because all those years i refused to create an account anywhere, because...fuck you, thats why. Im home, Nostr.

Nooooo don't explain how this new thing, that works differently from the old thing, works; just pretend its the old thing and make it such that people think its the old thing, otherwise its too complicated! - everyone that fails to realize at some point the old thing was the new thing, and people learned that just fine. Nostr.

Grammatica, Logica, Rethorica. Gather data; process data into information; execute on that information. This is one of the fundamental issues/risks related to A.I.'s because they give the pretence that it does all three for you. Well... they do, its corpus is its grammer, its training is its logic, its output is its rethoric, all via a cycle of deduction and abduction to approach induction. That is cool and all, but fact remains that you should treat the A.I.'s output as part of your own grammer step, a reflection for your own logic and an aid in your rethoric, but all that assumes you were capable to do those things without the A.I. in the first place, atleast in theory. In that sense there is nothing new under the sun, this has been true for all tech to some degree, and as such the foundation of education remain the same, it only becomes more demanding.

oh hey, another guy that loves Nostr without even knowing it (i think, atleast)

When asked what the downsides of Nostr are, one part of that answer is that eventhough a platform can erase your presence, you are absolutely free to footgun yourself out of your own established identity. But that is still better. Even without any standards, measures, procedures to 'fix' this unfixable issue, content creators are still better off. 1: re-establishing your audience does not have to take place 'elsewhere', your audience can re-find you in the same app they were already using. 2: political banning could not just take out 1 individual content creator, but whipe out an entire community of creators at/around the same time; whilst key loss/compromise IS an indivual phenomena (unless everyone uses the same corrupt app i gues 🫤). 3: both 1 and 2 allow for easier re-establishing using social networks. "Oh hey our buddy Bob uses a new npub, its this one, you can just conveniently click follow in the app you already using, how nice, dont forget to use promo-code...". Ceterum censeo NIP-03 omnibus esse.
