Oddbean new post about login | logout interesting, would counter that bitcoin growing is important for nostr's adoption
I agree, but maybe not essential? Although it's a hard question because they share a freedom-loving DIY ethic. If bitcoin failed, how much room/demand would there be for nostr? Probably not much.
Bitcoin association is the main thing keeping all the solar punk leftists away. They would be all over this without it. But now it has “far right capitalist” cooties.
I like solarpunk, despite the leftism. They have a real vision for the future, whereas righties/libertarians are mostly reactionary.
I couldn’t agree more. I find that while i generally agree with conservo/liber ideals, i tend to like lefties as people a little more. 😆 I like the creativity, vision, and action.
my favorite creative act of the left is the slaughtering of 100 million! https://www.kerrybolton.com/artists-of-the-right/
"For it now appears that almost every significant artist of the period (Pound, Yeats, Lewis) rejected both materialism and the egalitarian solutions of the Left. " come on now...
human nature be damned is the unofficial title of this thread
except when meme-ing tho...? 🤔
The left gets shut down all the time on other social platforms. They very much need a decentralized tool for sharing information. The challenge for adoption is the perception of who is on Nostr based on how it is messaged publicly. The current message is “freedom to” and misses the important aspect of “freedom from”. The left hears freedom to and thinks Nostr is the new 4chan, but that’s not really the case.
