In the context of centralized social media & video platforms, the most important aspect of anti-censorship to me is about control of the algos. Opaque recommendation and prioritization of content is the largest source of harm there. What's good for the business is bad for you and your society. If the default recommend settings on your platform client were "fear, hate, greed", would you uncheck those? Nostr does fix this.

"Mother Nature" and "Mother Earth" as images deployed to arouse respect and care for the biosphere don't seem strong enough. Adults don't usually depend on their parents for survival the way we all do on Earth's biosphere. Further, respect for elders isn't a strong feature of developed capitalist societies and many may feel comfortable ignoring and even exploiting this metaphorical ancestor. What are some more apt metaphors? Lifeline Earth? Oasis Earth? Need help...

I planted sunchoke in my food garden this year for the first time, to see what it's like. Pretty astonishing growth. The stalks are thick and 3m (9') tall already, starting from just a couple of tubers in May. Is there another plant that grows so vigorously?? I'm looking forward to harvesting and trying the tubers in early spring. Curious how justified the nickname "fartichoke" is! Any fartichoke lovers out there? Share some recipes! #permaculture

If you only watch one YouTube vid on the human predicament, give this zoomed-out perspective a chance: (Also check out Nate's great podcast.) Interesting for the Bitcoin crowd here might be the relationship between energy and its fundamental scarcity and the rootedness of Bitcoin and other PoW protocols in that reality. What Nate calls our "energy blindness" might be just another way of saying "fiat".
