When Nostr reaches critical mass, it will sit at the center of multinational counterintelligence. Expect bots, spam, and assets on both sides: populist and “mainstream”, that inject disinformation into every ideological cluster. The goal won’t be dialogue, but polarization. We already see it in the V.S. knots debate: fallacies, red herrings, character attacks. Not engagement, but division. Anger replaces reason; useful idiots are shielded from opposing views. This is not Nostr’s flaw, it is its success. We saw the same tactics on centralized platforms during COVID and elections, and we still see them now. Any corporate “self-regulation” will fail. Central points of control are permanent points of failure. The question is whether we build tools that bridge divides, or walls that entrench them.

Male names mostly suck. Over the past 25 years they have gotten 500x worse. Matthew, Mark, Luke & John might be the only acceptable names today that don't sound like a single mother dreamed it up. Any white man under the age of 80 with a name that ends with -den, -dun, -ton or -son and isn't associatrd with non-ghetto American blacks like Curt, Keith & David, should consider going by their middle name or first two initials.

Imagine neighboring countries being very similar, but keeping to themselves for so many centuries they develop completely different languages. In the modern USA, it's almost unthinkable. But everywhere else, it's the norm.
