Below, is a short AI-generated summary of Niklas Luhmann, one of my favourite philosophers, whose principles have guided me in this space - of the dangers of mixing morality and methodology. Not that either is bad, but if you are not aware of whether you are arguing the former or the latter, that’s when you get into trouble.
Further, morality usually needs to catch up with the times: you might think you are arguing from a point of moral virtue, but things might have moved on since. That’s usually how wars start.
Enjoy. Luhmann’s works are really tough slogs to read, but the gems are invaluable, so I give you this AI-shortcut with apologies.
——-————-
Niklas Luhmann argued that much of the social sciences failed to achieve genuine scientific rigor because they allowed moral judgments to infiltrate their analytical methods. In his view, sociology repeatedly confused description with prescription: instead of explaining how social systems actually operate, scholars often smuggled in assumptions about how society ought to function.
Luhmann believed morality is itself just one communicative system among many — alongside law, politics, economics, and science — and that science loses clarity when it adopts moral categories such as “good,” “bad,” “just,” or “unjust” as analytical foundations. For him, modern society is too complex to be understood through moral binaries. Once researchers moralize social phenomena, they stop observing systems neutrally and begin participating in ideological struggles.
His systems theory therefore tried to construct sociology as a second-order observational science: a discipline that studies how social systems reproduce themselves through communication, without treating morality as the ultimate measure of truth. In this sense, Luhmann saw moralization not as the solution to the weaknesses of social science, but as one of its central methodological problems.
This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest.

If you are playing politics when you should be playing economics, you are gonna have a bad time.

If Bitcoiners had more marketing sense (well, then we wouldn't be floundering like we are, but I digress), we would all know that getting people who prefer other payment methods (even -- gasp! -- fiat) to use Nostr _also_ increases the number of people who onboard to Bitcoin.
A small slice of a huge pie can be larger than a very tiny pie.
Or, as we say in Germany:
> Competition is good for business.
There wouldn't be if you spend more than the cost of mining and sold it at a loss. Or sold it for a wash. The gain would be any amount above that.

I stand corrected - on-chain zaps are verifiable.
Excellent essay! Thanks for sharing!
Satoshi, we have a problem. Zaps are not verifiable.

The 1 is nothing without 0.
The heat is nothing without cold.
The light is nothing without darkness.
The North is nothing without the South.
The sun is nothing without the moon.
The sky is nothing without the ocean, and land.
Without a counterpart, there is no equilibrium.
Nature, & reality is destabilized.
The Quantum Reality fractures without a means to ground it to existence.

They should definitely spend it on Nostr! 💖
I'm trying to get some relay devs to accept Monero payments, as well.
