I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with. I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine. I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!! Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you. Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet. We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy. My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance. I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.
“Don’t trust, verify” That was for cryptography, not food safety, dumbass.
I can’t believe these morons are actually going to try to fight math and think they are going to win.
There seems to be a zeitgeist of understanding that we have firmly entered the, “then they fight you” phase. We have one shot to save the internet as a free and open platform for all people everywhere; or to collapse into it become the most powerful propaganda and brainwashing tool ever created. Now is the time to prepare, because there will not be another shot later.
I feel bad for guys that are pretty creepy. It’s not like they have good (or any) awareness around their creepiness, and usually leave women within their proximity feeling the ick from their creepy vibes which they don’t realize they are putting out. The real shame is that it evokes so much shame, guilt and denial that there’s no way to really talk with them about it in a constructive way. Almost nobody wants to be creepy, but ironically creepies tend to have the least amount of awareness that makes them all the more creepy. It’s really sad to see once you realize the creepy aspect is then really wanting connection and incapable of it because of their creepy vibes.
While there will only be 10 opportunities in your lifetime to make investments that can change your life, there are countless opportunities to fuck it up everyday. Be thankful for all the times you didn’t fuck up ❤️.
