This is a very interesting idea and there's something to it I believe.

nogoodkid (npub1j0h…w6rf) what do you think?

I've been wondering whether the most interesting thing about #NOSTR is not censorship resistance, the ability to transact financially, or data ownership, but the randomness of the experience itself.

In real life, we only ever encounter a tiny fragment of what Michael Oakeshott called "the conversation of mankind."

That fragment emerges through accidents: who we meet, when and where we live, and what we happen to read.

Algorithmically driven social media changed this. The fragment is no longer discovered. It is selected.

NOSTR feels different.

I still see only a tiny part of the conversation, but the part I see seems to emerge from chance encounters, relationships, timing, and curiosity rather than optimization.

The difference may be larger than it first appears.
