The problem lies in this:

It's was the younger kids of the 90s, like myself, that grew up during that pen and paper to computer transition.

Today's kids,(the majority of them)can't even be bothered to learn phone numbers, home addresses, street names, etc. They have zero interest in the continuation of that transition happening today from basically being completely brain dead. They grew up on brain rot with all of the convenience us 90s kids had to figure out to even use. For the first time in history, kids arnt as smart as their parents.

The future of nostr, lies in these low IQ kids hands, who can't be bothered to even learn street names because Google points the way and tells them when they are their.

Good luck getting them to learn nostr, even with the best UI and UX.

The “people are too dumb for Nostr” stuff is such a weird form of defeatism.

People in the 90s and early 2000s went from pen and paper to using computers and the internet with UX that was objectively way worse than what we have today. They learned to type in website addresses manually, create email accounts, join forums, remember passwords, download random files, troubleshoot internet connections, and navigate systems that were incredibly unintuitive. Did I mention Napster?

None of that was natural. People learned because it was useful.

Now somehow we’re supposed to believe modern humans are incapable of understanding portable identity or signing into apps differently??!

Come on.

The problem is not that people are dumb. The problem is that the UX is still rough, onboarding is fragmented, there are too many purity tests, and people treat friction like it’s a moral virtue instead of a design problem.

Most people using the internet never understood what was happening underneath it all. They just needed something useful that worked.

…and turns out most people (especially young people) secretly HATED snail mail, phone books, paper maps, staples, paperclips… just like today they hate Alexa and Siri and data leaks and being spied on and being manipulated and managing 14 social channels.

So how about let’s fucking stop making excuses and get to it?

Oh and GM PV good people
