What kind of men are we raising…comfortable survivors or warriors of conviction? The world is waging war on meaning, and our sons are the targets. Here’s what I’m doing to fight back and The Gaps in My Armor. View article →

Good morning. ☕️ Crazy things are attainable in this life..

Trump just told Laura Ingraham that Americans don’t have the talent. That “you don’t have certain talents” and can’t be trained for skilled work. Let me introduce him to Nostr. Every creator and coder here is living proof that’s BS. You’re building decentralized protocols from scratch. Writing clients. Running relays. Contributing to NIPs. Creating censorship resistant infrastructure that WILL change the world. This is some of the most complex, innovative work happening in tech right now. Often without massive VC funding or corporate backing…just raw talent, dedication, and belief in what you’re building. The talent isn’t missing. It never was. The problem isn’t that Americans can’t do the work. The problem is some would rather import cheaper labor than invest in the brilliant minds already here, already building, already proving what’s possible. To every Nostr developer and creator…You are the talent. Keep building.

There’s a peculiar modern delusion that people who change their views with age are somehow weak or unprincipled. The opposite is true. I’ve yet to meet a single person who remained identical to their youthful self, and thank God for that. Youth mistakes novelty for wisdom and rebellion for insight. The arc bends predictably. We start convinced we’ve transcended the accumulated knowledge of centuries, only to discover through hard experience that traditional wisdom wasn’t oppression but pattern recognition across generations. Life has a way of stripping away the pretense that we’re self sufficient architects of meaning. The things I once dismissed as outdated turned out to be foundations, not prisons. That’s not regression. It’s finally having enough data points to recognize the pattern. If you’re on a similar journey, you’re not alone. The path back isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom finally catching up to experience. The real question isn’t why people change, but why we ever expected them not to.

When value flows as freely as information we remember what we lost. Direct economic signal between humans. No mediation. No censorship. No one standing between appreciation and compensation extracting their percentage. There’s nothing quite like frictionless Sats flowing…Feels good.

The Nostr forcing function… No algorithm. No recommendations. Just silence…until YOU act. Want to see something? Follow people. Want culture? Create it. Want community? Build it.

Nostr proves that meaningful connection requires skin in the game. Lurking is easy. Consuming is passive. But community demands participation. The “force” isn’t tyranny, it’s the natural state of human interaction before platforms turned us into content cattle. We’re not forced into production. We’re freed to be human again. This is the way. 🤙

Every time someone gets exiled from their own digital home, the need for Nostr becomes less ideological and more inevitable. View quoted note →
