 People are starved of the truth, but crave a lie.  Nostr was supposed to fix this.  But it hasnt.  Yet.  Why and how? 
 Because they can’t wait to mute the truth signal !  
 A small dash of salt makes the meal taste better. A pound of salt makes it hard to eat. 
 The expectation for a technology to be the source of truth seems to be wholly misplaced. 
 Nostr is the answer but not everybody knows whats the question

 people aren’t starved for anything. everyone’s caught up in their own lives concerned with their own affairs. nostr makes sense to those who understand the internals, and not to those who only see the surface of technology. centralization is winning because they have a horse in this race, they have cause to shove their product down people’s throats, and people are just happy they’re getting fed, unconcerned if it’s moral or long term good for them.
