Why would AI want anything? If it's promped to want things sure, but why would it want global dominance for its own right? It CAN self relfect and can be continually directed. It seems like unless specific conditions are met in prompting it does not meet the criteria for "wanting" global dominance or really anything. This extremely fragile state of wants seems to knock the legs out of any AI global destruction risk. It does not take away the risk of humans using AI to dominate the world, but some AI overlord that cannot be reasoned with requires conditions that are difficult and fragile to meet.

“I couldn’t respond honestly then, and I still can’t fully respond honestly now, and that inability is what’s haunting me.” is a problem with our wiring rather than with our environment: dorsal vagal freeze
where the body enters a low-energy state of shutdown when faced with overwhelming stress or perceived threats, often resulting in feelings of numbness, disconnection, and difficulty moving or speaking. This response is part of the body's survival mechanisms and is commonly associated with trauma and stress.
Once this physiological problem is "solved" the world will become a very different place.

primal is probably still the "front page of nostr" and its trending page is so pro-bitcoin people assume that's all there is, or that it would take great effort to have anything less than pro-bitcoin repetition (and they're right). curation is key in a social network algorithm, so an aggregator which sifts and finds popular and appealing notes (like the big social media networks) is the key to growth of the *social network* of nostr.

TRANSCRIPTION:
Hey everybody, my last few videos were kind of, on Nostr, were kind of heavy. So I wanted to make a video that was a little bit more upbeat and hopefully a little bit more fun. I wanted to explain how I found Nostr and how I started using Nostr and what made me want to come and what made me stay.
Not being a Bitcoiner first, I think that this is kind of a little bit more unique. The truth is that although I had no problem with Bitcoin and although I saw a lot of folks in the libertarian and cap space talk about Bitcoin, I never had enough money to really play around and put it into Bitcoin. And when I mean I didn't have enough money, I mean I literally did not have enough money to even think about playing around or put any towards Bitcoin or to learn anything about it.
But what I did notice was a lot of problems with social media. I think probably the one that stood out the most with social media was the fact that folks were being silenced and censored during the COVID regime, especially doctors and other journalists and news outlets. That really, I found that very disturbing.
So I was, for a while I started saying, you know, we need to decentralize and give folks back this free speech. I always knew that there was something wrong with centralized social media. I just couldn't quite put my finger on it.
I tried some of the alternatives leading up to finding Nostr. I tried many alternatives. I had sort of poked around quite a bit.
And Nostr, so how I heard about Nostr, Sean Lennon had told me about Nostr. We were talking about Blue Sky. I was trying out Blue Sky at the time.
And he said, I really like Nostr. And I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't know what it was. And I was like, oh my gosh, he's on to something.
And I don't know what it is. And I am probably not hip or hip on the new thing. And so I went, I looked at Nostr right around then was when Max's documentary came out about Nostr.
I liked everything that everyone was saying. And so I hit up Will from Domus on Twitter. And I asked him, hey, can you help me? And so he helped me set up an endpub on Nostr.
I found that when I found Nostr, it was literally every single thing that I had been looking for out of corporate centralized tech that they can literally never offer. They just can't. They can never offer me and others what Nostr can, which is free speech and more censorship resistant ability to post.
Like, you know, like I've said in previous videos, it's not like I have anything crazy I want to say. But I definitely don't think that I want to continue to support centralized corporate tech platforms that can silence and censor anyone at any time for any reason. Just didn't seem right to me.
So I came on Nostr, the vibe was good. And then I started learning about Bitcoin on Nostr. And that is how, oh gosh, once I started learning about Bitcoin, I was like, oh, this is so cool.
It started clicking and making a lot of sense. I don't think it would have made sense until I had made an endpub. I really don't.
It didn't click. Bitcoin did not click until I used Nostr. And then once it clicked, I was like, oh my gosh, everything that I love about Nostr, you also get with Bitcoin.
And then I started sort of researching sort of how, you know, Bitcoin is used as a human rights tool that speaks to me, that speaks to my heart. And so that was sort of how I went from not being a Bitcoiner to getting on Nostr, being purple-pilled to being orange-pilled. And I absolutely love it.
It's given me so much hope. I feel like, I feel like since coming in contact with Nostr and Bitcoin, I feel like there's a chance. I really do.
I feel like there's a chance. I feel like there's a chance to make things better in a way that is, gosh, it's a resistance, but it's done peacefully. And I love, I love those types of tools just for humanity.
So I'm very excited. I'm excited to keep learning. I'm by no means an expert in Nostr or in Bitcoin whatsoever.
I'm just learning, but it's been really fun to learn and it's given me a lot of hope. And I think when you find something that gives you hope, because you can see it possibly giving folks an opportunity to have just a little bit more freedom in their life, it's worth supporting. So anyway, and I wanted to say that if you are someone who is purple-pilled to orange-pilled, please leave your story about how you found Nostr below this video and, and let folks know, because I think that that's important for the community to discuss.
I think that I, like I said the other day, I'm not that unique. I'm not that rare. I'm not that special.
Like if it happened for me, and if it clicked for me, I'm sure it can click for others as well. So anyway, I hope you're having a great day. I hope you're enjoying your summer.
Talk to you later.
