I agree, the incentives around engagement online are totally toxic. However, aren't emotions and experiences of darker aspects like hate and envy also part of the human experience?

I'm not suggesting one should seek to surround themselves with or propagate such. But I fear pretending like Nostr can be a panacea of good-vibes-only, or holding that such is easily possible for oneself, carries big risks of bypassing the Jungian shadow instead of integrating it. Perhaps the systems we build with their incentives and emergent properties are products of our current collective psychological evolutionary stage. New systems like Nostr can be a better next step toward a more integrated future, but we might be too ambitious to expect them to eliminate hate and such entirely without first confronting it within.

Anyway, looking forward to your longer-form writing. I just skimmed the linked article, so forgive any ignorance.
