 the people untainted and influenced by the corporate information algorithms will have the advantage. 
 The meme lords will control their minds  
 Ayoooo stop making excuses for broken nostr search hahaha 
 Nostr only is an advantage

 Thanks. 💜🫂 
 Do we?  Hmmm. I just feel oppressed by democracy. Democracy never votes for my ideology. 
 I know this is a very sensitive topic for libertarians (which I'm one myself) but I believe the Swiss system holds the key for the democracy problem. I absolutely agree that the current model of what they call "democracy" is absolutely broken and will never work. 

But that's just that model. What we need to do is redefine what democracy means. Democracy can't mean 4 year votes. That's insanity. Democracy needs to mean referendums every 3 months, People's Veto Power (ability to reject ANY law at any level, municipal, regional, federal), Citizen Initiatives, Public Recalls, etc.

In Switzerland people have been voting to REDUCE taxes for centuries now. And they do! Nobody wants to raise taxes. Nobody. When given the chance to vote on a referendum people ALWAYS reject tax raises. They've done this dozen of times.

That's in essence what I'm trying to do with https://thedemocracyupgrade.org/, basically trying to upgrade the concept of democracy. In my view Switzerland is the only real democracy in the world, the rest are just autocracies (in a different degree/percentage, everything is relative).

 
 Yeah sure. Why not vote/referend every week? Or day?
And what about the mandatory forced household TV propaganda tax?
The swiss model might sound better and appeal as a first step but in the end it's the same ol' bs. 
 What's the better alternative? What's not bs? 

Switzerland is one of the freest countries in the world. https://www.heritage.org/index/pages/country-pages/switzerland

Nothing is perfect. I think the idea that because something is not perfect we shouldn't do anything is a form of nihilism.

But hey, to each its own. Not trying to convince anybody of anything. Just sharing what I've discovered. 
 The System comes as consequence of the Spirit. 
 What's better? IMO sovereign individuals adhering to property rights. But this is delusional since most ppl love leaders, free handouts and being told what to do. 
 Of course, I agree. The real problem is what and how to define things. I obviously also want that, the question is how, what and where. 

The real question is how, what and who gets to define what property rights are. 

That’s the whole point. 
 Yes 
 The unbrainwashed will inherit the earth. Free thinkers, unite! 🌎 
 The advantage of not being puppets of those who control these algorithms. We must always seek freedom.
I’d rather be free and struggle than be happy in chains. 
 Keep “misinformed”

 there will be own of time direction 
 🎶🎵eve of destruction … 🎵🎼

War on humanity and war on information WILL be my last one 🫂 
 Con bitcoin y nostr ganaremos 
 Lead with Love 😂🫂🥳 All is well.  
 Working on the open source good vibes algorithm, I hope it works 
 Anyone able to focus beyond the time it takes to read a tweet or headline, too 
 👏 
 Glad you support nostr 
 Change always comes from the fringes. I have my disagreements with Mises, but he was correct about that observation. You want to catch transformational waves early. 
 You said "taint".
 
 It’s not right this way; it’s built on lies. 
 🤙🏼 
 Let’s create more places for those people to exist ⚡️ 
 Humans are so silly. Cats are always untainted. 
 So Israel and the Jewish mob will cease to exist? 🤔 
 Let's use that advantage to secure a liberated future for all maybe even within our lifetimes.  
 Advantage on what way? Just in life in general? 
 Absolutely 💯 
 It's not getting anywhere with this approach 
My private wallet key is being asked ......he is texting me that you closed down your Twitter acct....this is not true.....
Lying to me. .....
 
 We're headed towards two very separate worlds. They say, this now, is a meaning crisis. This is nothing compared to what's ahead. It's hard to have an advantage over apathy though. Apathy doesn't care. 😅 
 I joined Nostr Bitcoin conferences to invest in Nostr and affilited with Nostr Bitcoin projects.......genuinely invested based on dividents advertised to help family 
 relatives in a war zones.....

They need to release my investment and this identity fraud must stop  
 It wasn’t an advantage for Jesus. Forgive them, for they know not what they do, because they are tainted and influenced by the corporate algorithms… 
 There will be a package of paperwork coming along with email. Your understanding are so greatly appreciated and I will be greatful if you do. Thank you in advance 🙏❣️ 
 Can’t wait to embrace that special day 
 i hope so 🙏 🧡  
 there is still hope! 🧡 #nostr

 Keep yourself seperate enough to stay clean and involved enough to stay aware 🙏 
 You mean uninfluenced, or rather untainted by the influence of... ?  Or is this propper English? Me curious.   
 Also an advantage you can pass onto your kids. Give them a huge leg up over people stuck in their ragebait pods 
 🤌🏻🤟🏻 
 🎯 This gives us a more authentic understanding, free from corporate agendas. That’s why Bitcoin and Nostr will thrive. 💯🫡🚀 
 This is difficult, but it requires everyone to be alert. 
 Jack tickled my taint with the FBI Files

 Interesting and probably true 
 💅 confirmation bias lfg 
 youre a communist scumbag and I hate your guts 
 I concur. Will that be enough to make the difference? 
 But how will we know what the current thing is? 
 Your friends from the matrix will tell you without asking. 
 bad grammar jack.  untainted and influenced/conundrum - either/or      *fren. 
 Profound statement. I feel it’s truth already, too. 
 "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

 GET YOUR FAMILY OUT OF THE MATRIX BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! 
 now I know I’ve got to run away 
 Like you know I am not influenced by algorithms. I hate them. But the what god fck where you doing with the best friends of diddy? 
 This morning I spoke to California government representative and it was  reccomended to reach out to Senator to expedite FBI search. In a quest for safety of everyone and we'll being affected by criminal activities 
 
 better yet, run your own social media algorithm!

the nostr algorithm client is now live at https://nostr.thecaptain.dev 
 Word 
 If you’re talking about Elon’s Twitter I hope you’re right. My concern though is that I’m seeing lots of the nasty, abusive twitter profiles publishing their nostr addresses. How long before that cesspit infects this space? 
 The medium is the message. Put down the screens. 
 I'd like to think that as a nostr-only user currently, I am already living this

I just don't have any influence from elsewhere 

(That is until I log back into IG or X when following a link, look, browse, get irritated, then angry, then anxious, and ultimately am reminded why I left in the first place...!) 
 Free thinkers will thrive.  
 Did you mean "uninfluenced" ? 
 Independent thinking thrives when we're free from corporate-driven algorithms. 
 Surveillance is more than observation—it’s a force that collapses human potential, narrowing our choices to what’s safe and predictable.
Just as the observer effect collapses quantum potential, surveillance limits human potential, confining it to a singular, controlled state.
open-source protocols are vital for preserving our liberties in a digital age

 Those unaffected by corporate algos will hold a distinct advantage. 

Unburdened by the biases and distortions embedded in algorithmically-tailored content, they can think independently and see the world more clearly. 

Freed from the subtle persuasions designed to shape their beliefs and behaviours, they can make decisions based on reason rather than algorithmic influence. 

This independence is a valuable asset, granting them a clear edge over those swept up in the tide of targeted corporate messaging. 
 Lack of knowledge is power. 

Why? Because it begs the question: what’s the difference between right and true information and misinformation and how has that difference been derived and how has that derivation path been verified and by whom and with appeal to what authority.
