Great essay, especially the part about the human element itself becoming the product in a post automation world, though I don't care much for the econometric methodology used, the conclusion seems correct.
Relevant passage:
Good to take breaks from social media sometimes and do other productive things
But always come back. There is lots of work to be done here.

Great essay for anyone wanting to get started down Digital Hijrah. As mentioned in the essay, you don't have to do all of this at once. Start small and go from there.

Second part of this series on Islam and Bitcoin is out!
What a great listen!
@The Bitcoin Shepherd and @The Bitcoin Guide explore the influences Islam had on the rise of 'sound capitalism' and how the West, in large part, has lost its way. They discuss how Muslims in the West must leverage their community strength rather than succumbing to the interest-based (riba) distortions of Western capitalism. The entrepreneurial spirit of Muslims needs to be reactivated to build an alternative economic system based on sound money.

Trying to understand why the most active and consistent Muslim users on nostr are reverts. I'm sure there's a good reason for that. Probably something I shouldn't think too deeply about.
