 the algorithm is really good at programming people 

the mindless repetition is top

 Pretty sure he’s not into them. 
 He might give em a glance! 
 Highly doubt it. 
 Lookin good Marie 😍😂 
 I do my best 😉😂 
 🔥 
 truly.. been acutely aware since this past 18 months on nostr, how precise and insane the algorithmic programming is on twttr..
scary considering ppl there think it’s a ‘free speech’ platform..
might be some free speech happening but it is not free thought, or free of narrative 
 🫡🫡 
 Or maybe it’s 

This time is different, but just slightly 
 WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE MAD ABOUT TODAY ARRGGHHH PLEASE TWITTER SHOW ME STUFF I HATE 😡😠🗯️ 
 Algo chose Saifedean for today's madness 
 Flip the wires, and the algorithm can create a new utopia 
 GM 👀😅 
 doesn't the lack of good categorical content discovery mean, that the highest followed folks are pushed into everyone's feed through reposting and quote posting? 
 yes 
 The point isn't to not have algorithms, it is to have a choice in content discovery, and not having to forcefully engage with whatever is shoved down your throat.  
 on damus i'm forced to see reposts in my general feed of people that i do no follow, no way to turn it off 
 Its on our radar

 wonderful stuff 💜 
 Yes it does. It breaks people down. We need Nostr to lift them back up again. 
 Algorithm soothes society like
Music soothes the savage beast

Coincidence? 
 Yeah the interwebs were better without algos and such powerful tailoring.

 
 “ Antimemetic mind training “ 
 That’s why I love nostr, I see the positive that I want to see in my feed 
 Jack you’re an inspiration 
 nostr is the true pH indicator of what the people want.

and this matters in preventing global interventions or gov't manipulation. Bitcoin prevents currency wars. Nostr prevents colonisation of the mind. 

The Twitter timeline has become overwhelming. I tried liking only dog and baby pics for calmer content, but it didn't work—there are still too many heated political debates, often about gender and race that tears people apart, and rarely abt market and social reform that builds people up. 
 
 I've been experimenting with trying to like only positive or feel-good  content too. 

It hasn't worked. It took around 2 weeks for it to really start working, but it only lasted a few days. 

Then I went through and ruthlessly muted any and all words and phrases that I know posts with drama contain. 

It relieved 90% of the problem, but I'm still be fed things I wish I didn't see. It's been 2-3 weeks since I did that.

It feels like an uphill battle to get the algorithms to work with you and it doesn't matter which platform I've tried over the years. 

I'm starting to wonder if leading people to believe they can influence the algorithm somehow isn't actually true, like an illusion to keep people trying. 
 This new drug is highly efficient . Go out in big cities And Watch !

There must be something we can do to help 
 What do you mean? That almost everyone is on their phone? 
 It scares me. 
 he who controls the algorithm, controls the mind 
 The algo is the mind killer.  
 HELLO 👋 GUYS, I RECENTLY PUT OUT AN INVESTMENT WITH $1000 AND GOT $6K IN LESS THAN 6 HRS, IT'S SO FAST AND PROFITABLE GUYS, HONESTLY IT'S BLEW MY MIND. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT AND SUGGEST Y'ALL GO GIVE IT A TRY, SEND DM TO MY COACH @coachalex0 
 cut the cord, this is the way to deprogramming 
 If you are interested... I can help you earn that amazing profit you desire because I use the most sophisticated bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining machines and personal developed analysis intertwined with my wealth of experience which enables me earn huge profit and that is guaranteed. Just a Dm away 
 Yesterday I deleted X because I felt my mind was being influenced in a weird way.

The last drop in the bucket was a video of Hitler twitching at the Olympic Games, high on drugs. I mean, what good does that do for me to see? It fills my heart with pain, and thoughts about why evil exists.

I don't want to pay attention to that, I want to use my time & energy for good - that's why I Nostr/Bitcoin. 

Thanks for inspiring me, Jack. 
 Yes! That and senseless violent “trending” on my timeline, sometimes I can’t scroll fast enough 
 people have a hard head. they need to read/listen more than once for their thick skull to cooperate. 
 psalm 136 repeats the phrase “for his steadfast love endures forever” twenty-five times. 
 The future will be a dichotomy between those who use AI technologies and those who will be used by them. 
 When using any algorithm, stay sharp. Focus on what you need to learn, not what they're trying to teach you.

Make learning your North Star, not low gratifications (dopamine). 
 nostr allows us to create our own algorithms. read, learn, teach and program yourself. adapt when needed. grow.

 what are some good places to get custom algorithms on nostr? I only know of the 'trending 24h' on iris.to and primal.net. Are there other ones? 
 Donald Trump says Mark Zuckerberg called him after the assassination attempt, let him know he isn’t supporting Democrats and apologized for Meta suppressing photos of him with a raised fist after the shooting. You have never apologized to Trump, why? https://video.nostr.build/779d1a841e1a6b619cc8007f456babeafaa00134251c93e51cddb21ebc731cd8.mp4

 Oh yes ! 
 the people is really good at receiving programmings  
 I quit Twitter, the stress is not worth it.
