Role Ethics (Stoic)
Epictetus says: remember your rolesβchild, citizen, sibling, worker. Virtue is not abstract; it is how we play the part assigned without adding a second, theatrical self. Gratitude for roles is thanks that we have people to be faithful to. A role can feel like a burden until we see it as a place to practice justice and care. We do not have to love the script. We can still act well.
"Consider who you are. First of all, a human being... then a citizen of the world."
β Epictetus, Discourses II 10

Can we build a more human internet?
@utxo the webmaster π§βπ»π joined me on Connection for a conversation that gave me a fresh perspective on Nostr and community.
I keep coming back to the power of smaller networks. Places built around shared interests, where we get to know each other and have a reason to return. Cooking is one of those connections. There are countless others.
What happens when we build more of the internet around that idea?
Grab a coffee and join us π
