Oddbean new post about login | logout MOST PEOPLE DO NOT ACTUALLY WANT FREE SPEECH. MOST WANT THE OPINIONS THEY AGREE WITH TO ALWAYS BE THE LOUDEST. FEW WILL ACTUALLY PUSH TECH FORWARD THAT ENABLES FREEDOM FOR THOSE THAT THEY DISAGREE STRONGLY. FOCUS ON THE FEW. THE FEW WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.
Few but good, pochi ma buoni🇮🇹
Mr. Odell is not wrong. Though, let's be real the tides turn and the minority end up influencing the outcome for the majority. We live in a world filled with distractions. People can't even agree on what washrooms to go in. Nostr will become mainstream, it's not a matter of if, but when. nostr:nevent1qqs9jerqleakr9w8v4klh3juuy5qp0jucav8whneydfqe7mgj5jl9cgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgrqsqqqqqpfgjrwu
Good point, especially the second sentence. That’s very true for many. Confirmation bias kind of.
NOSTR DOES NOT NEED NORMIES
WHO FARTED?
So... Are we on nostr just to have our own echo chamber?
Freedom is the most important right of all. It comes with distasteful elements. Freedom of speech means you will hear things you don't want to. It seems to me, the younger generations (I'm a very old Gen X) have never had to face opposition. Non competitive sports at school, not having to learn how to deal with insults because no one is allowed to offend anyone! Fucking grow a pair, stop living in an echo chamber and get dirty in the mud of life. FREEDOM #FreeRoss #FreeSamourai
Ugh, free speech has never been a meaningful idea. It's always "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But I don't consider that to be speech." Or it's "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But not freedom from state consequences!" Or it's "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But not in people's freedom to listen to it." Unless your statements have three asterisks explaining EXACTLY what you mean, I can't claim to know your position. Tell me, may I shoot an innocent man in the chest in order to more effectively communicate to him what dying is like? What forms of communication are restricted?
The few will change the world.
the few are mostly very neutral in the first place i have some fierce points on certain areas but i think the whole thing is you drift to the center of the compass if you honestly evaluate what is important i never understood either side because they were always so unrealistic, always missing the "and then"
