We gave away the internet. Now we might have the tools to take it back. ⚑️ New episode of Connection drops tonight at 7 PM ET! I’m joined by my good friend @Derek Ross where we share the story behind @NostrValley how we first connected on Nostr before ever meeting in person, and how that connection grew into three years of bringing people together. We talk about how the internet became centralized, why Nostr may be evolving into something much bigger than social media, and how AI is giving ordinary people the power to build without asking permission. But more importantly, we talk about community, friendship, and why there’s so much to be optimistic about. More bloom. Less doom. 🌱 Join us tonight! πŸ‘‡ Connection, presented by Zap Cooking. People. Ideas. Food. Community.

The Simple Meal (Taoist) A simple meal cooked without drama is Taoist liturgy. Chop, steam, sit, taste. Gratitude is the salt we often forget. We thank the gardener we will never meet, the fire, the bowl. Zhuangzi's cook Ding found the Way in an ox, not in a treatise. The kitchen can be a place of wu wei if we stop fighting the onion. Eat what is here. That is already alignment. "I go along with the natural makeup, strike in the big hollows, guide the knife through the big openings, and follow things as they are." β€” Zhuangzi, ch. 3

Unpopular opinion: you can do a lot more with Nostr than you can with Bitcoin.

Interdependence (Buddhist) Nothing exists in isolation. The Buddha taught dependent origination: every phenomenon arises in relation to others. When we see interdependence, gratitude followsβ€”we see how we're supported by countless causes. Our food, our safety, our very breath depend on the world. Thankfulness is the natural response to seeing we are part of a vast, interconnected whole. "When this exists, that comes to be; with the cessation of this, that ceases." β€” Pratityasamutpada
