On #Fediverse, I have an address `arinbasu1@social.arinbasu.online`. I can jump into my #Pleroma instance and share whatever I want to share. Can I use `arinbasu1..` when I jump into a #Calckey server or a #Mastodon server? I cannot. I have to tie my identity to a server and then using _only_ that server I can communicate with the rest of the Fediverse. Which is fine but also creates a bloat. I can sheet anchor myself in my own instance at `social.arinbasu.online` and can read/write but to meet new people, and new conversations, I will still need to visit other instances. I wish there was an easier way to do things than that. This is also an aspect that many people, who come to fediverse from a walled garden such as twitter, rue, as they find it hard to negotiate with the medium first and then they will have to `create identities` everywhere first to read/write content. So, in this sense #Fediverse is like email, that with one identity you can read/write content and share with people. Yet, you need to create separate identity in `each server` you have your account. It is not like you can push/pull to/from everything everywhere. #Nostr has upended this limitation, it seems. Here, I _start_ with an id, which, in my case, is, arinbasu@iris.to, but then with this id, I also get a public id , npub17vs8nsgxt2r3saj6w4089z05xvvkahj7urqs7jkdz9329s4cj5qquwmr5w and a private id. That private id acts like my login everywhere or all other apps I visit, and that's it. So I can visit any `service` such as damus, or iris, or coracle, login with my associated private id, and I am in. Then everything depends on how I tweak my relay list, as the more relays I will subscribe to, the more I will receive in my Global feed, and the more likely my `voice` will reach wider. I can even store my ideas to my own created relay and read/write when I want if I want. In theory I will never need another identity with another app unless I need a special user case (even then). The magic is how I decide to tweak my relay list and do what I want to do. Beat that!

Eric Topol writes in this substack essay the intriguing research where brain tumours were found to interfere with speech and "thought" areas of the brain, leading to rapid loss of cognitive processing power. These researches point towards on the one hand, the need for deeper, causal level understanding as to what happens when someone has neural cancer, on the other hand, can lead to diagnostic and prognostic tools. A space to watch. #NeuroCancer
