I have come to adapt a different framework considering the digital:
It is a different realm or dimension.
Many times what we do in one does not affect us in the other. If that is sustained, we will develop multiple personas. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but that is another great reason why we should not forget the USP of physical meetings. And now I am not talking about boring unproductive meetings at work, but friendships, meeting people with a shared vision, or duking it out with people you don’t agree with in real life.
We are humans, and we are not adapted for this new realm. Probably never will be.
2025 will be when I post more on NOSTR. Here is the thought of 2nd of January:
If you are uncensored on your platform, such as this one, it means you actually might have to think before you post. Posts are not just deleted. Not asking us to censor each other, but point the gun the right way when it's armed. Let's have discussions, arguments, and a common quest for truth (with sprinkles of memes and sh*tposting, ofc).
"Iron sharpens iron, one man the other." -Proverbs 27:17
Happy new 2025 everybody!
I am giving myself the homework of being more active on NOSTR, and play more racket sports for 2025.
Also, I will for my life try to let Bitcoin do its thing (and to applicable extent Saylor) without interrupting the process. It's like trying to outsmart Stockfish.
You're mate in 15. You try to avoid it. Now you are mate in 4.
FINALLY, the Swedish education system will allow people to get low grades without panicking.
The A-F scale will be removed for a 1-10 scale, and students no longer are denied access based on Fs but will compete with other students based on an average of their grades.
To me as a teacher, this is great news. Finally students are allowed to fail in one thing to be able to work on their strengths. This is not a day too early.
Changes going to take effect sometime in 2025.
Is there a way to give and receive zaps with Ecash yet? I want to mess around with it on Nostr.
Imagine the first posts on the Internet. The first crude websites, the first cat pictures, the first memes. They were humble beginnings, a footprint of "hehe, we have no idea of what we're doing but it's fun".
Now imagine those poor attempts of communication being fixed in time forever, and potentially un-erasable, even by yourself.
Voila, welcome to Nostr. Think before you post, and take full responsibility for exercising your free speech on steroids.
Of course we are going to mess around. But my plea is: let's do that with the goal of making a garden out of this jungle. To cultivate it, so that it may carry the fruits of ideas that sustains us.
Showing off Nostr to my ETH friend. Show him what it can do! Lots of 💕
