I honestly wonder how much of the internet has been scrubbed, and for how long has the capacity to consistently scrub it has been? How much dialogue is real vs laundered misdirection? This is a pretty dark existential hole, to which Nostr has a pretty great answer and shows just how important this really is.

Here we can reason and criticize each other without killing each other in a censorship resistant way. Isn't that the wet dream of the natural law? Mentioning the laws of our nature just through hearing the arguments of each other and reaching our own conclusions? In that sense, doesn't Nostr make states completely "obsolete"? If you know the laws through seeing the memes that flow through nostr, why would you need a state to say what is good and what is bad?
I guess we should go outside and interact with reality instead of trusting the internet 🤝

Wikipedia is being changed. The really scary part is that AI uses wikipedia as a source of information more than anything else. It is already better and faster at fact checking than most humans. How long before we see it as the oracle of all truth?
With a couple of decades of bookmarks and downloads, It’s pretty damning already. In the not too distant future I hope to create an index of content and call out the “404s.” Eventually I’ll throw Ye’s (Kanye West) “Drink Champs” interviews one, two and three up. “I’ve got receipts” as Bill Ackman said, but I REALLY do!
