I use imperial time measurements, just like you, because only masochistic psychopaths use metric time. There's a reason it never caught on; people refused to use it.

Personally instead of leaving immediately, I would just tell the waiter that I am too stupid and stubborn to ever use one of those QR codes. If they say they can't get me a physical menu THEN I would leave. I've had positive results from that one, though I don't think I've ever had to pull it out at a restaurant.

People who post CP aren't allowed on the AP instances you are getting those notes from either. AP and Nostr are both almost entirely clearnet protocols, which means that CSAM is not something they can safely or reliably host.
The only CP that got taken down as far as I can tell was from Nostr blossom servers and media hosts. The users and their notes are technically still around, its just that their media no longer loads. And the users no longer post because it turns out they maybe weren't too serious about making text based posts.

I would rather say that the purpose of feelings is to investigate purpose. But still, is there an issue with that perspective?

2026-06-22 17:55:09 UTC

I don't think "reality" is the right word here. Right and wrong aren't physical things that a person can touch or eat or something. Right and wrong are OBJECTIVE, but they are not real. In the same way that the number 7 and all of its properties are objective, but not real.
Besides, feelings and reason are not opposites. The biggest reason people use logic and reasoning is because orderly things make them feel good, and contradicting themselves makes them feel bad.
Additionally, the feelings a person experiences change drastically depending on whether they've done all the relevant reasoning for the thing they would have feelings about. And it's not really possible for a person to understand and respond to their feelings unless they use reasoning.
I'm not saying feelings cause or arbitrate reality. I'm saying that feelings are ABOUT reality. As for purpose, it is an objective concept, (which is why people apologize) and feeling and reasoning are how we investigate purpose. In the same way that performing calculations is how we investigate the objective truths hiding within mathematics.

Who invented the word "purpose"? Cockroaches or humans? I see absolutely nothing wrong with the idea that the word "purpose" is entirely human-centric.
To answer your question, my feelings indicate to me that their purpose is to die under the heel of my boot. Do you happen to disagree with my judgement? Is there something about cockroaches I'm not considering? I wouldn't want to be out of touch with what's right and wrong.

Not true. Every living thing eventually dies. Creating life perpetuates far more death than committing suicide or doing nothing at all. Perpetuating life is avoiding EXTINCTION, not death.
Additionally, I said that part of life's purpose is proving WHETHER our nature belongs in this world. If someone's nature is to die alone, then their goal in life should be to demonstrate that that outcome is inevitable even when they do everything in their nature to avoid it.
That's why things like lotteries and handouts are so bad. They give a person an advantage outside of their nature. This means that people who should die fail to and even the people who SHOULD survive are no longer able to demonstrate it was because of their nature.

2026-06-21 20:42:31 UTC

- reply

I didn't say that at all! The main purpose of suffering is avoiding death! But the purposes of life are numerous! One of the highest purposes of life is probably perpetuating that life and proving where and whether our nature belongs in this world. But again, there's quite a bit more than that too.

You literally already experienced drowning once just by being alive. Where you expecting that to happen? Have you even for a second considered that you might drown AGAIN and survive AGAIN if you continue to live? Or that you might experience things that add up to being just as bad?
It seems like your life has already given you much more suffering than a single case of drowning to death, and yet you still continue to hold out.
Which you should. Life is worth 100 drownings. I'm just struggling to understand how you can claim that life is a curse while simultaneously being unwilling to go through proportional suffering to end it.
I think you are like me. You must realize on some level that suffering is just a preview, not the real thing. Suffering only gets its badness from the fact that it is so closely associated with death. We experience a thousand things every day: the touch of our clothes on our body, the sun on our skin, the air in our lungs, the food we eat, the multitude of sounds all around us, the vision in our eyes...
How come out of all of those experiences, the ones that we react so negatively to are the ones that have to do with us being injured? Is it possible that inside of us we care about reality first and foremost and that our experiences are nothing more than an arbitrary window to that reality?

Why do you need a good clean way to do it? If I had to kill myself I'd probably do it by drowning myself in a toilet. If you need to come up with every possible trick to make it less painful and harder to back out of then clearly you don't have a lot of conviction or life really isn't much of a curse.
Of course me personally I'd be willing to suffer quite a bit just to experience the most bottom of the barrel life you could think of. I am very thankful to not only be alive, but to be alive with so many extra luxuries and priveleges on top of it. All though I think all that effort that goes into making life nicer could really go towards increasing the absolute number of people alive. Starting with me and my family of course since I'm the best.

The best kinds of gaming is the kind where you get better primarily through practice. But this isn't always the case. Sometimes the best way to get better at a game is not to practice it, but to study it. This can be really fulfilling in itself, since games often have really interesting dynamics, and it is incredibly satisfying to attempt to apply something you've been studying in the actual game and to just feel it click.
But not all studying is so engaging and, well, meaningful. Sometimes the skill ceiling will prevent people from getting better altogether long before this point, but otherwise at a high enough level, every game turns into route memorization of data with no translatable meaning outside its niche.
In some competitive games, this pattern gets so bad that it actively works AGAINST practice. In high level chess for example, chess players memorize many chess positions and engine evaluations NOT because those positions are especially natural or personally interesting, but so that the players can attempt to force others into those positions and beat them with experience. The consequence of this is that the dynamics of the game itself encourages high level chess players to AVOID playing eachother, just so that they don't use up all of the one-time-use tricks that they painstakingly memorized.
Unfortunately, sometimes the best strategy is not to play.

I was using the term platform to refer to something people can put stuff on for other people to see. A stage is a platform. Twitter is a platform. The interconnected decentralized relays implementing the Nostr protocol are a platform people can put stuff on for other people to see.
If you disagree with that usage of the term "platform", could you give a definition that you would prefer? And can you explain what term I should use to refer to something people can put stuff on for other people to see?
In your previous post, you advocated tasking agents to pirate and rip content creators and nostrify it. I thought you were telling people to have their bots put the contents of other people's websites on Nostr. Do you think people should have bots post other websites' content or am I misunderstanding whether you want that?
I understand that Nostr is both for notes and other stuff too. Would any of the things you want nostrified turn into notes like we use for microblogging? Or would all of the contents of all of the websites end up in the "other stuff" category"?

Please don't make more Nostr content bots! A microbloging platform like Nostr should be about dialogue! Content shouldn't be on Nostr unless a human who can discuss it puts it here.

I've been thinking. Chaos theory is the study of how limited information produces unpredictability. Stephen Wolfram's theory of computational irreducability studies how limited computation produces unpredictability. And thermodynamics is the study of how unpredictability produces entropy. All three theories are related to eachother, how neat is that?
Though that leads me to wonder... Is it possible to have a system that is chaotic, but computationally reducable? Is it possible to have a system that is computationally irreducable but not chaotic? Is it possible to have a system that is unpredictable, but which is neither chaotic, nor irreducable? And do any of these flavors of unpredictability have any noticable thermodynamic consequences? How is a state of chaos related to a law of chaos?

If the incentives within a parallel economy have to match the scale of those within the main economy then the parallel economy is doomed to fail.
Furthermore, a market that cannot proportionally compensate those who allow it to exist is a weak and unfair market. If a market depends on each and every participant being enlightened, then that market can never afford to pay its participants what they are owed because it owes each of them everything.
And finally, in a world where remote activated digital trackers exist is one where anyone you buy a physical device from has the right to locate you. Entirely virtual parallel economies are a solved problem though; digital works are easy.

Nostr can be regulated pretty easy actually. Just hurt anyone using Nostr. If someone uses a VPN, then hurt them too. In fact, why even let digital communication exit a country's borders? Just look at the great firewall of China for a rough proof of concept.
So if a network is exit preserving then does that mean that someone can easily exit and then snitch on everyone else in the network in return for a large state reward? Is there anything besides force that preserves a norm of "don't snitch on us even if there is a large perverse incentive to do so?"

It's easy to read beliefs without engaging and to fight only inside one's own head. That requires zero conviction or security. It's true engagement that proves fulfulment. You have reached nothing if you are forced to remain in a cozy safe place in order to protect your worldview.
If you truly understand my need to fight and you believe it's due to a lack of self esteem then tell me, would you expect me to take the words and beliefs of those who disagree with me seriously? Would you expect me to ask them non-rhetorical questions, or to be able to repeat what they've said?

No bro, it's exactly the opposite. Why the hell would I listen to someone else if I know they are just going to make me feel bad and insecure about my own beliefs? I guaruntee you don't truly understand any of the points of view that you are elevating in such a condescending and masturbatory way. Nostr is a platform with a small number of users who mostly agree with eachother. You have never experienced the battles that created the points of view you claim to be interested in.
The only reason I post and engage with others is because I'm confident enough that I can afford to be openminded. It is because I am so satisfied and engaged that I am willing to go out and have serious engagements with people who disagree with me. I can afford to understand their perspective, and what's more, because of my position I WANT to understand their perspective. Understanding why people are wrong and disagree with me is important and valuable.
I just wish there were more people I disagreed with on Nostr. I fucking hate echo chambers. I want to challenge myself and others so we can improve our beliefs and our rhetoric. So we can become better thinkers and communicators. Sitting around monologuing at people who accept most of what we say is a torturous waste of human potential.

I do believe in free will! I just have a more jaded view of free will. I don't believe free will is some kind of magical phenomenon. I believe free will is just when a person's will freely dictates their actions, especially when that freedom is their right. If a person is unjustly physically restrained, their will can't make them do a whole lot, and so the restraints physically restrict that person's free will. Especially so due to the fact that people have freedom of association and the right to come and go as they please.
If you implant a chip into someone's spinal cord that forces their body to do your bidding, then that restricts their free will, because their body's actions are no longer being freely dictated by their will, but by yours instead.
However, being controlled by a master manipulator does not diminish one's free will. That is because a manipulator is affecting peoples' will itself, and not the physical ability of that will to affect the peoples' actions. This is a reasonable conclusion! While there IS a difference between concincing someone of something they were going to conclude on their own, between convincing them of something true by causing them to arrive at a justified line of reasoning, and between legitimately taking advantage of misunderstandings and misconceptions in order to trick them into believing something false, in practice the difference between these three cases is not a robust and reliable basis for decisionmaking. Since free will obviously exists in two of those cases, its existence in the third seems fairly reasonable to me.
To address your second question, it sounds like you are asking whether a person is still exercising their free will when making choices that don't require a lot of conviction. And I sure think they do! Let's suppose you made me choose in the morning between oatmeal and Coco Puffs. I'm going to choose Coco Puffs ten times out of ten because Coco Puffs are awesome. In fact, that I will choose Coco Puffs every time in that scenario is actually PROOF that I am exercising my free will. You would have to physically restrain me, or implant a chip in my brain stem in order to get me to eat the oatmeal instead. Seems pretty cut and dried to me!

That's a short blog post, I was worried.
The idea of one's nature overcoming one's nurture or vice-versa makes sense to me, but what is there to overcome both? The idea that there is some kind of third direction between nature, nurture, randomness, and determinism in which our free will resides is absurd and jaded to me.
If we're linking our posts, you should check out this joke I posted; I think it captures the absurdity I refer to well: #nevent1q…72kk
To be honest, I belive I understand the difference between fulfilment and pleasure, but the word "enjoy" seems like a bad choice. To be honest, the word "comfort" probably isn't a good word either. Isn't a comfort supposed to be comforting? I prefer a word like "amenity" for something that improves our potential but which may be unpleasant to make use of.

I agree with you that experiencing suffering is a feature of human existence, especially when one's life is bad. But that's exactly why I believe that shallow and meaningless methods of escaping suffering are worth less than nothing. So long as a person's body continues acting to keep them alive, how pathetic is it for that person to constantly flinch away from experiencing what their life is actually like? A person may not always be able to seize a good life for themselves, but at least they can ensure they actually experience their life as it is...

Even if we get some kind of robot maid who wants to suck our dick, it would be worth nothing to people in comparison to finding love and starting a big family together. Except IF reality somehow allows us to achieve that kind of technological utopia, a big family will be the one thing you aren't allowed to trade your technology for.

I mean, is there anything you say that gets censored on other platforms?
I don't think I have heard of many Nostr users besides me and @nprofile…0ggy getting censored and banned from platforms. Case in point: I am a pedophile and WLD is a psycho stalker. (Luv u WLD <3)
Like, if your goal was to be able to insult people like me to my face then I think that's a legitimate use case. Other platforms either don't let you face scoundrels or they don't let you insult them.
But I don't think that's why you're here. I think you're here because you're LARPing.

The thing that makes humans so great is not our high maximum potential, but our ability to overcome it, and to become a complete loser despite that potential

Bro what am I supposed to do with the 12 shitty Nostr clients I've coded so far? I'm almost ready to start posting them all to the app stores.

If you tax one person and give handouts to another person, is that equality? And yet; most socialists I bet wouldn't see any issue with that. If you want to engage with socialist ideas, I recommend not taking their language and word choice at face value.

Yes, your profile picture doesn't load for me, but that's because I disabled profile pictures. Your autogenerated profile picture is an Amethyst robot. But when I go out of my way to find your real profile picture, it's a pixelated heart. It looks just like one of those Nostrudel ones.

WLD's pfp is one of the auto-generated ones from Nostrudel.

Are you sure that equality is a socialist goal?

That guy talking about how the gossip/outbox model solves all our scaling problems is stupid.
All the notes I'm most interested are from strangers whose outbox settings I don't know.

Emperical evidence can nevwr prove anything about the nature of man. You are so naive. Why do so many people believe that men act according to their nature even a small fraction of the time? Achieving one's highest purpose is ridiculously hard; don't be stupid.

I love the idea of sovereignty and an independent virtual currency a lot, though to be honest I like Monero more than Bitcoin. Don't get me wrong, I've used both as an anonymous currency. It's just that Monero is a more state of the art and privacy focused token
Additionally, I hate any and all moneymaking schemes where the person recieving value isn't also producing it through some sort of labor or service. In fact, I don't even invest my money. I strongly believe that currencies should depreciate in value over time. Not that Monero is much better than Bitcoin in that respect though.
I don't have any inherent beef with banks. I think they are cowardly losers who chained themselves to the federal reserve in order to avoid being destroyed by the federal government, but in my eyes that's really none of my business so long as they hold onto my money and give it back to me when I ask for it.

No, I was immediately sent to to the gallows and executed before I had time to explain it to them. ):

I have a very expensive proscription. Unfortunately I left the money for that proscription in my pocket... and then washed my clothes. The cash got completely shredded. I went back to the bank and the teller goes "hello! What brings you back here so soon?"
Apparently "laundering drug money" was not the correct answer to give in those circumstances.

I don't care at all about whether someone attacks me back.
I actually hate evidence and stories because they require research, and in general I believe it's wrong to assign homework just to talk with someone else, even during an argument. I actually have a strategy to avoid being wrong 100% of the time without having to do research.
The rule is very simple: never argue about real people or events. Always speak in abstract principles so that even if what you say isn't relevant, it's still at least true. There are a great deal of posts that I ignore completely just because they never lead to any kind of higher principle. Oh no! Trump is evil! The Democrats are evil! Our country is falling apart! Look at this man saving a cute kitty from hypothermia! Jesus cured my cancer! Some no-name Youtube just cured 500 people's blindness!
The only reason I even bothered to research your posts is because I wanted to say "woah, that's terrible! People shouldn't be persecuted for speech!" The second sentence "people shouldn't be persecuted for speech" follows my rule, but I realized that my first sentence broke my rule and I couldn't actually type it without first checking.

Sorry, I looked it up. According to what I read, the man posted an anti-semitic meme and then got arrested for an unrelated felony stalking warrant. The Jewish Sheriff said that the man "posted the anti-semetic meme and then got arrested", which is technically true, but also clearly intended to trick people into thinking anti-semetic speech is legally dangerous. Not only is that a stupid decision on the sheriff's part because speech should NEVER be seen as legally dangerous, but it was also stupid because the only effect was getting a whole bunch of people to post anti-semetic memes in response to what he said. Emotionally fragile and manipulative Jewish sheriffs like this are a disgrace. I'm glad someone wasn't actually arrested for speech, but this sheriff's behavior was still shameful.

I agree 100% with your first point. People shouldn't be upset at their emotions themselves, or try to control those emotions. However, all emotions are caused by something. For example, anger is caused by unaccounted for misfortune. Therefore, when someone feels angry, they should always make sure they are lashing out in a way that doesn't make their problems worse, and that might help them to account for future misfortunes.
Anger isn't the only emotion with an element of ignorance though. My guess is you can't figure out why other humans act the way they do. I don't know the specific unexpected actions that people are taking that upset you, but it seems one of your guesses at this point is that other people act the way they do because they are in some kind of extinction cult.
You are completely wrong. The closest thing that humanity currently has to a REAL extinction cult is the anti-natalist movement, and even that is much closer to an echo-chamber than a cult. It hurts me to hear that you hate people, since I like almost everybody and hate almost nobody. Is there anything I can do to help you guess why people might act the way they do? Are there any actions you find particularly baffling? I might be able to give you some guesses about what's leading people to act that way.

People are only bitter and jaded because they set such high standards for liking people! If they weren't so naive then they would set more reasonable and realistic standards! Then they wouldn't have to be so pissed at the world all the time! Jaded people are naive!
