Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?

This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. πŸ˜‚) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr

The #bookstr πŸ“– macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. 😎

Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @fiatjaf. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins.

It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).

lol! Maybe in 2023 we had massive zaps going around, but I haven’t seen an average account on Nostr getting anywhere close to 10k sats daily. Don’t trust, verify.

Around 800 million people worldwide make less than $10 a month. I earn about 10k sats a day through zaps. Just wait till the world catches on, Nostr could lift so many out of poverty and oppression, keep building.

In the early days of zaps they were like a new toy and everyone was experimenting with them but that has died off now. Even notes from some of the larger accounts don’t seem to get much on many of their notes anymore. I don’t think it’s impossible to make 10k sats per day but you would have to be spending a lot of time making content and posting frequently to get that.
Social media is fundamentally incompatible with long term happiness. We all know fulfillment comes from real life experiences - usually with other people. Social media undermines that with addiction. To be online all the time is to be away from the real world experiences. It’s a balancing game - and could work if you manage to have more offline time. But ultimately it’s poison - like sugar, tastes good but makes you sick in the long term. To become mainstream so to speak is to enable addiction - in its current form. And to break free from addiction is to have boring social media without algorithms. Even positively tuned algorithms build addiction. So it’s ironic to see people on nostr wanting algorithms and more people - what you’re really saying is you want more people to be addicted over here instead of over there. Maybe they’ll feel less doom, but ultimately eating the same cake. The real win comes from balance, but that means admitting you have a problem and having the willingness to do something about it.
