Allowing AI on social networks turns human souls into batteries providing the emotional charge.

The only sovereign future is by everyone switching tools. Use and embrace Nostr, Farcaster, WordPress (self hosted), Bitcoin Cash, Digibyte, ZANO, Dash, Mullvad, Tuta email, Brave, Obsidian, ...

A few thoughts I have. First a question; why is it impossible to write an article like this with primal unless you pay 70 usd a month. Then second: No matter how much I dislike algorithms, they are valuable. With AI it should be possible to vibe code my own algorithm and copy paste it into a Nostr client like primal. Make a template algo with documentation, then let users define what they want to see in an algorithmic feed and how. Is this possible? Then third: We need a bridge. If I post on Nostr, I want to have a tool that distributes my posts and articles to X, Substack, LinkedIn, Telegram. This way, I post here first, not even needing to open the others. Then fourth: Nostr ideally needs some kind of skin in the game for commenting to prevent AI slop and bots. Probably the best is to replace the like button or make the like button cost a micro transcation, commenting should cost a micro transaction too, etc. ?! OR "free" comments are hidden, only "paid" comments are visible by default ?! I don't know. Perhaps there is a way to also track the time someone types a comment, if it is copy pasted or instant then it is flagged. / or the other way around if a comment is truly human written / typed in a proper time then it is flagged as authentic or human. Then fifth, Nostr needs an app like Microsoft Authenticator or Authy that allows me to centrally manage my private keys and login by scanning and confirming with a 2fa. There's a lot, I hope this succeeds. If I can help, let me know.

Absolutely true. Explained by the concept of Pendulums in Reality Transurfing.

I'm basically unemployable (not due to skills but principles) and at the same time I reject the entire mimetic entrepreneurship theatre (performative mimetic rivalry in startups, PE, VC, finance). My only option is do whatever I (heart/mind) want. Interesting... Authentic... Not yet sure how it'll pay bills leave alone buy me my multigenerational Finca. Who else ever "struggled" with this? Lmao

"We need to focus on our desire to be and to do rather than to have. We grow ourselves and live fulfilling lives when we contribute something that aligns with who we are and our desire to be our authentic selves." — Paul O'Brien, Founder of Tarot .com and the Divination Foundation

Rationality only works when Spirituality comes first. Rationality without Spirituality is like a sophisticated algorithm running on a computer with no user and no purpose. It generates infinite outputs that signify nothing. Spirituality/Oneness must provide the "Vision", while Rationality/Logic are for executing the "Task" When rationality comes first, it becomes a closed-loop feedback system: It starts optimizing everything for its own sake. It leads to the modern Crisis of Meaning. It creates "smart" people doing stupid things. If you find yourself over-analyzing (rationality) but feeling unfulfilled (lack of spirituality), you are trying to use a calculator to write a poem. If you want to create a joyful life: spirituality must come FIRST. It is the realization that you are the Awareness. You are part of God, part of everything. Oneness. Rationality must come SECOND, it is the creation engine to logically steer your focus towards your vision.

Hello Nostr, X is down while my subscription ran out. Perfect. But I don't want to post into the void on Nostr. How do you solve this chicken egg problem?

Few thoughts. IRAN controls a stretch of water 29 miles wide thorugh which 20% of global oil go; currently oil is at $65/barrell. Iran is now cornered and protesting internally. It has the legit capability to disrupt the transit through the strait of hormuz for weeks. - 20mn barrells of oil flow through Hormoz daily (20% of global consumption) - the bypass capacity via pipelines in Saudi Arabia and UAE is roughly 2.6mn b/d Do the math: Hormuz throughput minus bypass capacity. Europe gets ±10% of its LNG through that strait. Italy alone sources 45% of its LNG from Qatar. It will require expensive alternative that do not exist at scale. Germany's chemical and auto sectors (margins already razor thin or negative) will face immediate shutdowns when energy costs spike (only) 80% to 120%. Even a partial Hormuz disruption will suffice to push Eurozone GDP negative 2-3% within two quarters. The market refuses to price this 17mn barell gap - either the market is right or bankrupt... What now? CEOs: tomorrow morning model 2-3x energy input costs scenarios against margins. Any M&A activity must stress-test target's energy cost sensitivity. Tail hedges are historically cheap and directionally confident. Note: geopolitical uncertainty. DYOR

A minority of Americans seems to be in a kind of psychosis. The ICE incidence, the hubris following the Maduro kidnapping; Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Russia, Iran, China, Europe, Panama Canal, Canada, tariff bombs, capturing the Russian-flag ship... civil war, world war? Not orderly Americans but a minority of people who apparently turned lunatic. The problem is the minority rule applies. I mean, I hope I am wrong. I'm only observing right now from a tiny island in the ocean.

Is there a way to reliably cross-post between WordPress, X, Farcaster, Nostr, Paragraph, LinkedIn or do I really need to do this manually? Is anyone solving this problem?

My son found this leaf. Why do I find it so absolutely fascinatingly beautiful?
