Well, if he's your dad, he has you. It's like with Bitcoiners - everyone fears what will the normies do. But then you look around and these Bitcoiners just can't stop talking about Bitcoin and help others with self-custody. The key is that normies usually don't want self-custody. If they do, there's information-communism on the internet. Video tutorials, books (hey, I wrote a few!), courses and of course many people around, meetups, organizations. I think we can do the same with other stuff, not only BTC. Nostr is a good candidate. Normies are only screwed if they keep being normies and if we don't help them. We don't have much control about the first part, but we can sure help them.

Sorry, I should have said "the [likes] of my dad" - my dad does indeed have me. Again, I do feel positive and hopeful for all the progress and conversation you mentioned. I guess what I'm scratching at, is, what is it that would flip* the tide of normies from being negative normies, to positive normies? * I suspect its not a "flip" at all, more like a slow drip drip over decades and generations. Although the timeframe is ever decreasing with advances in technology.
