PSA: limoncello is dramatically underrated. Make limocello great...

Many think Capitalism is the end of economic progression as if capitalism is in fact, the most effective method of human organization. Now that we are as interconnected as we are today, that is no longer the case. The social conflicts we are seeing in most western countries shows that we are on the brink of something new and everyone feels it. Capitalism is a system that benefits those with assets and the means to render and or make goods and services. That has always been hard to amass until now. We stand at the threshold of atomic economies and for the first time in human history since the time of our hunter gatherer days, humans will be able to live in a more natural state. But old ways wont let go so easily.....

"So, What's the News?" Nostr has some truly talented folks grinding away to bring their #artstr and passions to the masses. nostr:npub1c8n9qhqzm2x3kzjm84kmdcvm96ezmn257r5xxphv3gsnjq4nz4lqelne96 and I put this piece together: he with his photography/graphic art and me with my writing and are sharing in the #v4v zap revenue. Help #grownostr by enjoying the article as much as I loved getting an opportunity to test the power of jointly made content! nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp3padh3au336rew4pzfx78s050p3dw7pmhurgr2ktdcwwxn9svtfqq2nwd6829tkgwf3d9dyk42zdedx233d24f57yyvkjt

Im a weird place in life right now. I know that a big life change is coming in a year that will require me to move but I can't let my employer know for fear that I'll be out of a job until it's time. Im excited for that move. Everyday I slug away at my current job I grow more and more resentful of it. I hate doing things my heart is not 100% in it. Thats being an adult, I guess.

NOSTR sits on the verge of a new internet. I came 7 months ago because of an excellent Documentary video by nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz I was coming from Medium, X, facebook; my backpack was replete with duplicate profiles and content and worse of all, as a new writer, there was zero hope for compensation. Then I came to NOSTR and had my honeymoon phase. I was like, what the hell? Why aren't there more people on this! I thought (and still do feel) that I had found a secret to the universe! Then came the bitcoin talk... Not a problem, I genuinely like learning more about BTC and would like to see the world that it promises to bring about. The problem arises when users start to pander to the bitcoin talk in search of the zaps. That's when the facade starts to chip a little as you realize that, in fact, there is an algorithm in Nostr, the most natural of all algorithms of human interaction and that is the search for value as quick as possible and with as little effort as is possible. It can be depressing when you see it unfolding before you, but that's still not to say there is something inherently wrong with the protocol. There are some real gems of content in here and there's plenty of genuine people. -Long rant just to say, Nostr has its ups and downs, but its worth spending your time and effort here.

#GM If you or someone you know finds it difficult to find meaning in life, it may be a good time to seek a mentor. According to the World Happiness Report, six factors determine a nation's happiness: 1. Income 2. Health 3. Social support 4. Freedom to make life decisions 5. Generosity 6. The absence of corruption These components closely mirror Jefferson’s vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet despite living in an era of unprecedented convenience and opportunity, many in our generation struggle with unhappiness, anxiety, and a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction. This article is a look into how mentorship might help breathe life back into society. nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp3padh3au336rew4pzfx78s050p3dw7pmhurgr2ktdcwwxn9svtfqq24s4mrfdm55utg23z55ufs94argvn523k5yqhkrc3
