I can see that, by taking a piece from your capital and giving it to everybody else, you can say that everybody has access to free health care and education, even if you can't afford it. It's free because somebody else paid for you (and the state took it's share). In a democracy with "healthy" (surviving) and "educated" (indoctrinated) people, the state raises more treasure through taxes since people produce more.

But this way you are removing the "natural selection", the survival instincts, the ingenuity and the community-help from people. People become more and more weak, poor, lonely and dependant from the state. But people are powerful when given the freedom, the chance.

This top down approach is creating a fragile society for the advantage of the state. Bad things need to be let go, even if it is painful. Otherwise prepare for a big crisis.

Same here! It shifted how I see the world and what I deem important and what not. A breath of fresh air for my mind, really.


Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder
by  Nassim Nicholas Taleb

☺ There’s a little coffee shop where two people walk up to the counter.
“Five coffees, please. Two for us, and three hanging.”
They pay, take their two coffees, and leave.

Curious, I ask the barista, “What’s a hanging coffee?”
“Just wait, and you’ll see,” they respond with a smile.

A little while later, two girls come in. They each order a coffee, pay, and go on their way. Then, three women order seven coffees: three for themselves and four hanging.

My curiosity deepens. What’s with all these “hanging” coffees?

Then, a man in worn clothes, who looks like he’s fallen on hard times, approaches the counter and asks, “Do you have a hanging coffee?”
“Yes, we do, sir,” the barista replies, handing him a hot cup of coffee.

I finally understood. People are paying in advance for coffees that will be served to anyone who can’t afford one.

This heartwarming tradition began in Naples, but it’s now spreading to cities and towns across the world. In some places, it’s not just hanging coffees—you can leave sandwiches or even a full meal for someone in need.

Imagine if we all embraced this simple act of kindness in our own communities. A small gesture like this could make a world of difference to someone’s day, or even their life.

Let’s start bringing this tradition to every city and town. One small act of generosity could ripple out and touch countless lives in ways we can’t even imagine. #Nostr #Bitcoin #coffeechain #kindness 🧡💜 https://image.nostr.build/9ecd005411247d6c41bc6aea78b995fe64089d12f37f1ea6fc626572e00f187c.jpg

NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT
https://m.primal.net/LDNn.mp4
I wanted to build on nostr and I asked OpenSats for a grant to work on ONOSENDAI one day per week. I scaled back my hours at my fiat job and began part time nostr development to work on a novel metaverse project where all actions require proof of work. This was the beginning of my nostr career. Today is a huge milestone in that journey.

It took me 52 Fridays from proof of concept to reality, and now ONOSENDAI functions as the first cyberspace client.

Today I present to you the thermodynamic update to #ONOSENDAI https://onosendai.tech
#welcometocyberspace folks. It's finally here. Check it out on desktop for the best experience. More updates for a better Mobile experience are in the pipeline.

I'm working on a video to explain cyberspace and how to use ONOSENDAI and I'll post it ASAP.

The short tutorial is this:
- WASD for movement (relative to camera)
- Q = down, E = up
- ESC to put camera behind avatar
- Mouse Click and drag to move camera
- Mouse Wheel to change Throttle

Sections of the app:

LOCAL
This is the on-the-ground cyberspace view. The shiny polygon you begin your journey in is your Home Coordinate, which is simply your hex pubkey. Your journey always starts here if you derezz (or get derezzed) at any point, but your progress is saved to nostr and your avatar will travel even when you're away from the app!

SECTOR
This is the 10,000ft view of cyberspace. Nearby sectors are automatically scanned for objects of interest and mapped in 3D: other avatars, hyperjumps, shards, and constructs (coming soon).

GLOBAL
This is the 100,000,000ft view of cyberspace. The staggeringly large full coordinate system is shown.

BUILD
This tab is a 3D editor that lets you build 3D objects called Shards. Shards can be mined and planted wherever you are at in cyberspace for everyone to admire. In the LOCAL tab you can mine and deploy a Shard at your current position. The size and complexity of the shard determines its mining difficulty.

Terminology:

- coord - a cyberspace coordinate is a 256-bit number, just like event ids and public keys.
- chain - the nostr events representing your movement which contain proof-of-work and are linked together via hash
- sector - a 2^30 cube area of cyberspace
- G - Gibson, the unit of measurement in cyberspace named after William Gibson (the author who invented the concept of cyberspace)
- plane - The last bit in a cyberspace coordinate determines its plane. Depending on your pubkey you will either be in D-Space or I-Space. You will be able to switch planes in a future update. All points in D-Space map to a real point in reality, including Earth. All points in I-Space are virtual.

Despite the polish I was able to muster, ONOSENDAI is still in its infancy, and so is cyberspace. It's up to you to explore, build, discover, and push it forward, because unlike other metaverses, this one belongs to everyone and is controlled by no-one. That's the whole point!

I would like to invite all #cyberspace enthusiasts to join my new ditto instance at https://straylight.cafe and use your nostr identity to ask questions, discuss cyberspace, futurism, and how to build this new world together. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to shut down the ONOSENDAI telegram group in favor of Straylight Café because it's nostr based, so hop on over and make it happen!

When you join Straylight.cafe, it isn't connected to any external relays on purpose, so you must edit your profile and customize it for how you want your npub to appear on this site. Whatever you post on Straylight stays there and doesn't go out to the rest of nostr unless you do so manually. It's like an open telegram group -- public, but not broadcasted by default.

And so concludes my OpenSats grant. I want to thank so many people for supporting me, encouraging me, and helping me along this journey.
I am going to try to list everyone I can and I apologize if I miss someone:
OpenSats and the whole team there
Gsovereignty and Bitkarrot for having me on their podcast. This was a huge break for me into the nostr scene.

all of my faithful and beloved reply guys who hype me up when I post about cyberspace
Everyone in the telegram group and everyone who has zapped, tested, and waited patiently for this

This is just the beginning. Nostr isn't just for tweets. It's for cyberspace, and I think that's a big deal. Thanks everyone 👾💜

In my opinion, humans have pushed centralization to the extremes, not technology per sé. We did it because centralization leads to more control and efficiency, things that humans love. I don't see the link between technology and patriarchy or racism, those existed long before the modern technology boom.
But I agree that we cannot use the centralization-hammer for everything. Funnily, technology is what will allow us to centralise less, so we can enjoy less control by the elite at the cost of a little, actually healthy, inefficiency.
