I am pleased to feel a sense of relief about securing a medium-term future for myself. But still doubtful about whether it will be the best path. I tend to hold a pretty negative view about the ability of colleges to truly educate a person. It’s good news though! We will see what happens, and I know what is good will come! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson No way I’m reading this right now! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I agree and intend to fix this npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What is it??! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Reposting cause I ❤️ women #note1ac9…89xt npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson There was a year when I was in high school that I picked a different path for myself. A different school model. It didn’t work out as expected and turned out to be the busiest and most stressful time of my life to that point. From wake to sleep I was busy every day with school work. I am grateful for that year. I unlocked a new understanding of what I am capable of. There was a clarity of mind I associate with that time as well. I was thoughtful about what I wanted for myself and took action towards it. As embarrassing as this is to admit, I have not kept that same clarity of mind, directionality, and consistent action. Life changes and distractions come into play. I can forgive myself for this, I am young and still learning. I’ve recently noticed myself entering a period similar to that time. I spend considerable time every day doing work with my future in mind. I am pushing myself where I haven’t been in the past. It may be some time before I am the person I aim to be, and perhaps more time until I’ve achieved the future I envision for myself. But I making progress and good things will inevitably come. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I too long for land #note1qp8…z0gc npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson There’s a book called One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello about this. It’s one of my favorites. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I have plans to reach out and share/discuss this project with academics who would find it useful. But those are on the back burner while I search for a job! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Ideally nanotech/nanomaterials, but more materials science more generally! #note18hf…q2xw npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Not nearly as much as I’d like to, really have to prioritize the job before I can invest any more time in this project unfortunately npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson The reason I can’t work on this project for the time being is because I need to find a job. If any of y’all have a job for me in the Houston area, please do reach out. #note1rw3…tk8e npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Yes!! This is why I am building decentralized research publishing! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Refreshing npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I will reach out to them! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Thank you, I just did this, let me know if it works. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson This rocks npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Will do and much appreciated! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Thanks Eshara! 🫂 npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Thank you TheRupert! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Hey all, I’m excited to share something I’m working on. It is a scientific research journal built on nostr. I think nostr is the perfect architecture to build something that does research publishing better than what is the standard right now. To name a few key things I envision with this project: 1. Research accessible by anyone. Scientific knowledge should not be restricted to a select few. This is not to say that there isn’t value in expertise, but to say that there is also value in diversity of thought that can only come from those who were not educated in the same system as many experts. 2. Comments can be left to explain, criticize, suggest research ideas to a specific part of a paper using highlights. 3. Research moves faster because it is cheaper and easier to publish, and becuase more people can interact with it. I’ve had this project in mind for quite a while, practically since I first learned about nostr. I don’t know how to code though. So this project is my first real foray into vibe coding. That being said, this project barely works when I use it, and likely won’t work when you try it. Further, it is currently a very limited version of what I believe a research journal built on nostr can be. I am posting this, in part, as a bookmark. I have other priorities right now and will not continue working on this project at least until January. I do plan to return to it and make it something great. I really do believe in it. I hope to continue building and sharing my vision for this, and I hope to talk more with you all about it. I know many of you have some serious developer/nostr wisdom that I want to make use of. I’ve built a client that you can access here: https://nostr-research-client-dfokevu51-carsonminors-projects.vercel.app/ It currently has a lot of papers I published while building and testing different features. Please excuse that mess. I also built an associated relay: wss://nostr-research-relay.duckdns.org npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson This rocks npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson You guys are doing cool stuff. I’m happy milk market and the people behind it exist :) npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson This looks great! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson That sounds so difficult. I am heartened to hear of his release :) npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Not yet 😂 npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Turns out pursuing your dreams is gratifying npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Telling my brother about nostr. I said “anyone can run a relay” He says “quadriplegics can’t run a relay” Fair point. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Vibe coding https://image.nostr.build/919e589bf9244c14bf23947e62170d6d5bca67d3558542470b1d90bd07fdcb4f.jpg npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What is in your heart? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson This sounds cool! I’d like to be a beta user npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I’ve dealt with the same. That’s an impressive achievement! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Love to see this! Experts are not the be all end all npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Rewatching The Big Short. It begins with a Mark Twain quote, "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I did not enjoy this book when I read it npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Sweet npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Wow! Awesome that you once shared my interest!! And thank you for the repost as I am still looking for a job! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What is the Extended European Habitat? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson GM & congrats! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Bluebird by Charles Bukowski there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, so don't be sad. then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson I miss when this was gibberish npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson It’s surprising what any of us believe. From my view, the idea of religion or any formal belief system has been belittled and destroyed without much to replace it. Then we attach ourselves to some ideology we didn’t know we were being preached. Sometimes I feel more aware that what I believe isn’t well understood or I don’t know how to communicate it. I’m having a tough time building a belief system. It takes care and consistency that I’m only still learning to give. Oh more to what you were saying. I am somewhat tuned into Rogan or the content people might associate with the Rogan sphere. Some of what I hear makes sense, or offers an alternative explanation for things that is intriguing because it goes against popular beliefs. Many of those popular beliefs are held by systems I’ve learned not to hold confidence in. But then I think well that’s interesting but I’m not sure I can fully attach myself to that belief for whatever reason (lack of my own research, conflicting information, conflicting beliefs, etc.) Then that happens several times a day. Then I think oh this is too much information and I am increasingly detached from feeling like I understand much of anything. These are my tangentially related thoughts from the toilet tonight as I am trying to figure life out. I hope I laugh at them later but for now I am proud to have spoken my mind. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson 🫡 npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Called in sick to work this morning and made the 7 hour haul to Mobile, Alabama for @npub1g6c…6zky. Met weirdos. Talked more freely than I’ve managed to in a while. Connected. I’m thankful to have attended and glad I told myself to go do the crazy thing. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Why and how did you get your sh*t together? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What’s it called? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Pro tip: you can open a new tab group and have another 500 ;) npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Research goes through centralized publishing houses that are slow and biased. Once it is published is expensive to access, limiting science to elites. I have more written about this issue and what I see as the solution that I will share in the future. I’d love to learn more about your startup and work! I’ve done some work in the biomedical field but I don’t know anything about cell reprogramming. Based off the quick search I did it seems cool! npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson This seems like a good opportunity to do an #introductions since I never did a proper nostr introduction so here I am. I’m Carson and I joined nostr about 2 years ago when I saw Jack Dorsey tweet his npub. As I learned about nostr, I got excited because it actually fixes the issue of censorship, and serves as a protocol engineered for free speech. I'd been mostly off social media for a few years (more because It's easy to waste time on and I’m worried about how it’ll affect my brain down the line). Nostr introduced me to bitcoin, and though I haven’t read as deep as I’d like into it yet, it seems to be pretty cool. I am in my senior year of college. I will be graduating with a BS in Materials Science and Engineering in a few short months. I chose this path because of the interest in nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, more specifically) I developed in high school. While in school, I got a job working in a nanomaterials research lab, where I became associate manager (until I quit today!). Through working in research for nearly four years and reading research for five years, I have come to think research and research publishing could benefit from change. It is in my goals this year to learn to code and build what I see as the solution to the issues with research, and share that here with y’all. One of my main goals at the moment is to find a job for when I graduate. I’m really interested in moving to the Austin or Houston areas. However, I recognize that I am at the mercy of life and the opportunities I encounter. I am entrepreneurial, fast learning, and motivated to work hard, given the right environment. I love talking to and learning from people, biking, reading, wristwatches, cars and motorcycles (and fixing them). There’s lots more to me that I’ll try to share over time. I haven't engaged a ton with the community on here, but I've followed some of y’all for a long time, and am happy to be a witness to the awesomeness here. Here’s to getting to know you all better and getting more involved this year! #note19nf…e9ez npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What are you asking? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Working on this now. Very excited to share when it’s done npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Making a trip to Houston and Austin soon. Hoping to interview and connect with people. Particularly interested in learning from people involved in nanotechnology, but open to anyone who can teach me anything valuable.

I think nostr could actually do scientific publishing better than the way it’s currently done. Happy to see this idea exist outside of my own head :) npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson What wish do you regret coming true? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson But instead of a centralized federal government we have relays in charge doling our consequences and governing their own communities. Similar to states rights but you can be in as many states as you please at any time. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson So from what I understand nostr protocol is like a constitution and NIPs are it’s amendments npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson When did what really matters to you now become important to you; what made it matter? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Practice empathy & forgiveness with others and yourself 💜 npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Thanks for the reading rec! I’m still a lot less knowledgeable on bitcoin and finance so I’ll take the original question in a different direction. I wish I’d learned how to learn. Still an ongoing process but realizing the fun of immersing myself in something I have no familiarity with and being forced to figure it out has been a big step recently. What have each of you come to know about learning? What are your processes? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Certainly an adoption phase. I wasn’t involved in bitcoin at all until I joined nostr. Good point and good article. One of the issues I have with social media is that it needs to be used; companies are motivated to keep you on their platform for as much time as possible so they can sell more ads. They keep you on by constant entertainment. I wonder about the long term effects of this. How are people changing because they are constantly being entertained at no other cost than their time? Can social media serve a greater purpose than entertaining? Perhaps nostr can be built in a way that motivates connection. I wonder what a social media looks like when it isn’t built to be used constantly. npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson #[3] npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson #[0] #[1] Let’s get this year long discussion started! I’m happy to talk and learn about anything so feel free to guide this any way you’re interested in. To start I’ll ask what drew you each to nostr? Why do you personally see a need for it? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson In npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson Where could humanity be if all knowledge was shared freely? npub1lq5ssal6l74tk2v0qz2qflchacs8kmwntxzw8u0tqer5v0le09hq82sxx5 Carson How different would your life look if your only responsibilities were those you chose?
