Last Notes npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Reading #BenjaminLabatut 's "When We Cease to Understand the World". npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr One of my favourite paradoxes: sometimes the best way to increase control is to introduce something nobody controls. 🎲 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every security model eventually encounters contingency. We should hold people accountable for preventable failures, but we should also resist the illusion that every loss has a preventable cause. Some uncertainty is structural. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Perhaps reposts are one way of discovering relevance. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A lot of time is spent talking about "small accounts." npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What is a smaller account? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Conversations are filters too. The interesting question is whether they help us see more—or merely agree more. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr One thing the #ClarityAct will clarify is to what extent decentralized monetary systems will be constrained. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every protocol eventually gets judged by the conversations it enables. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A protocol guarantees freedom to publish. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Senegal npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I'd keep the Nostr. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That's the next challenge for Nostr clients—not helping us find more people, but helping us find the conversations worth joining. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Are they getting misanthropic? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Imagine walking into a bar. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I agree. Human fallibility is a strong argument. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Is that book obsolete? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr That's a thoughtful distinction. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Planned obsolescence isn't just about products. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Social media spends enormous effort deciding what people should or shouldn't see. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr What is it about? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good." (Proverbs 15:3) npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I wonder whether #Nostrclients are optimizing the right thing. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr If Nostr gives us a new architecture for speech, can it also revive conversation as an unrehearsed intellectual adventure? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr As an internet OG, I remember #Netiquette. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Elon says a lot of things npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Bitchat has been ill conceived from the start. Wrong tech, wrong hardware. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr A friend said: npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Legal systems are sooo dead! npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr #TheEconomist newspaper is engaging into story telling. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr You'll definitely need a team to check your sources. Start with @npub1hyv…rtnu npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr This is clearly NOT a B-1 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every proverb assumes a mechanism by which society distributes recognition, wealth or authority. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every proverb contains a theory of how recognition is distributed. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr I wonder why nobody responds to #DMnostr. If the plan is to replace #WhatsApp, we should probably start answering them. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Every reader has celebrated novels they quietly abandoned. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Neither do I npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Sometimes people wager that a deliberately stupid decision will be mistaken for courage. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Everybody's son is an idiot. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr How old are you? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We do stupid thing at all ages 😂 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Is this issue primarily about knowledge? npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Usually I consider your notes rather appropriate. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We need wires with electricity as well these days 😂 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr Robots can do better npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr We're at a disadvantage against AI. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://image.nostr.build/9151ea3dceb606266d55fade025798c3e6a3015e493b78e274644aec2ef08de2.jpg npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The last of the mohicans 🗿 npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr 🪑 Save my seat npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr The problem with neighbours is that there is no mute function. npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr https://youtube.com/watch?v=oTAU9oGro3M&is=ReGr1DhxdivGHJBh npub1myqxup6jxjxap0fqal9jjh7ued30hrws937cse2dhq89mu4czdsq7e3cne AvaTharr W.
