 This is actually a really amazing time to be alive because people are changing the world by just doing stuff. What Germans call "konkludentes Handeln" ("implied in fact"), where you end up becoming the Person Who Does This Thing by just getting up and doing it.

I mean, we joke about #NostrElites, but the actual Nostr Elites are the people who just, at some point, started doing stuff that needed to get done because they looked around and noticed nobody else was doing it. They put their hand up and said, "Me. Umm... yeah. I could probably do that."

And then they did it.
