2026-03-19T18:11:20Z

Micro-cultures are also good justification of material abundance. Otherwise society as a system experiences an analog of the second law of thermodynamics, but at higher levels: if material goods are too abundant to a point when they can't provide fittest substrate to higher levels (culture, creativity etc.), these are likely cases (and they often appear as sequential steps historically):

1. Degeneration of individualism and culture. Culture develops simplified fraction for better engagement, but fresh individuals do not realize purpose behind this simplification, these define their entire lifestyle on this culture, they live their entire life as constant "now", they lose motivation in learning and crafting. This leads to fragile cultural landscape.
2. Inadequate wealth and societal inequality (which does not fit real differences in age, experience and intelligence as Pareto optimum). Essential symptom of the previous step as people lose highest "why?" (for exploration of unknown landscape and/or helping others), their lack of highest motivation is compensated by endless competition to "look better than others".
3. Rugged feudalism, brittle civilization. Symptom of the previous step, as an essential exit from "dead horse" system.

So I live my life at my own pace and I learn new stuff which does not end in p2p services and tools, and is rooted in individualism (p2p is a set of solutions to the fragility of cyberpunk circus, not what could keep at least myself living for long time).

To continue.

"why you don't just pick up traditional and established culture and religion?"

Because traditional cultures in their full sense are not good fit for me. Plus they're easily prone to desecration, if not kept in trusted circles (as history has shown many times, which finally rationalized it as "postmodern" meta-meme). I have history of adaptation to them and lost a lot of time and energy, figuring out hidden cues and how I can act with them naturally/in flow state. Especially cultures, which strictly prohibit some essential but positive features of life. This is also why I sometimes fell for left things like auxiliary languages like Esperanto, universal human morale. Because if you have simple contract rules, then you can easily communicate with people of diverse cultures. However, if you don't create art and build micro-culture, you just adapt to this simplified meta-culture, and thus lose sense of yourself, making yourself prone to provocations. It's like the problem of "high cohesion & low coupling vs high coupling vs low cohesion (occurring at different scales)". That's why I love ethos of pantheism.

It's the idea that entropy is basic layer of reality (then space, then physical energy and matter). This is what current AGI can produce without much human work. Higher layers of reality currently require way more human intervention, thus meme of "physical proof of human" which asserts that human can be verified via at least physical attributes. Particularly, the meme of "intellectual labor is replaceable by AI" probably stems from the "physical proof oh human" meme. KYC circus is also particular case of the "physical proof" meme.

I'm currently interested in more systematic approach for life than implementing a decentralized system for proving humans/rejecting abusers. This is solution for current KYC circus and AI bloat, it does not resolve the problem of how individualism and voluntary/fun society can be sustained long-termly, how creativity can be emerged as the next level of reality (not like in relative abundance of 2000s-2010s in which too much material abundance without progress in higher levels led to higher-order erosion of culture, morale, then as usual followed by economic collapse, wars and cabal).

#naddr1qv…z3lj

2026-03-03T15:55:46Z

quoting naddr1qv…z3lj

Every case is unique. Some of these emerged naturally. Some of them are imposed by governments.

CAPTCHA, the way we still encounter it, is the result of ignorance of the first signs of passing the Turing test. The KYC is more complicated: usually it's associated with reductionistic opinions, that it's just the lobbyists' mass surveillance thing, while still this also could happen semi-unconsciously because of a lack of proper alternatives that governments could even consider in order to counterattack... their own helplessness and accumulated stress from the polycrisis we are all facing, probably.

My proposal here is to recontextualize the issues, observe more fundamental problems, and solve them instead. Solve something that at least seems to be solvable today.

CAPTCHA/PoW Torture Test

It seems like CAPTCHAs are almost testing the opposite thing already: if user is so desperately passing these puzzles all the time, if user doesn't feel tortured enough to leave these absurd pages—it's probably a bot.

Detecting simple malicious attacks (dumb social spamming, dumb technical DoSing, etc.) still makes a lot of sense. Using (unexpected) traffic as a source of useful computations makes even more sense (especially traffic from the users who were reported by highly trusted ones, e.g. from WoTs). But attempts to specifically target bots—this doesn't have the potential to work in the long run (if at all, already).

A partial solution is already there

CAPTCHAs have been testing the wrong thing. Now it's also weird to see how some PoW pages still say "we're checking that you are not a bot"—this is obviously false; they are checking that I'm a "non-malicious bot" now. And that's much better!

But still, PoW pages are torturous as well: they shouldn't block users from interacting with a website; the mining should happen only in the background, probably for certain actions only, so non-malicious users/bots won't even notice it. That's why I'm relatively tolerant of NIP-13, even though it's far from an ecologically optimal solution.

The best solutions will possibly arise from decentralized UPoW.

nevent1q…nqhf

I think it's the best time to start working on the related NIPs.

KYC and "children's safety"

Massive papers uploading to servers, besides obvious privacy issues, is something like another irrelevant cookie banner annoyance tyranny: it won't solve the core issue of the so-called children's safety. It will produce even more chaos: more advanced AI systems to bypass such checks will become a new normality. New absurd AI regulations as the result of this mistake.

A domino of mistakes. Then they will require full access to the servers to ensure they are "safe enough". What's next? Even if it's full hardware surveillance totalitarianism with client side included, what will they do with the radio amateurs and open-source hardware, for example? Pointless tyranny.

It seems this won't ever work, no matter how much tax money will be wasted. But that's not obvious to the masses, which pay for all this circus. And postmodern-ish art doesn't really help them; we need to be clear, and we need to provide actual solutions. Ideally, change the trend.

Dating example

I recently discovered how ethically and legally running a dating/friendship app became problematic today. Especially for children.

nevent1q…8yrp

I also heard that some people are now asking governments to require KYC as a solution 🤦‍♂️ And I can understand them. Imagine you're an average non-hacker parent that faces your child's abuse using one of these apps. What would you do? Blame those who made the app? Configure a parent control?

The way the society is currently structured is that it would be a natural thing to complain specifically to governmental systems about everything related to the online abuse issues.

But bureaucrats are not designed to solve issues of such complexity! Bureaucrats are not hackers, and unfortunately, historically, they were always dramatically bad at systems thinking.

It's not just a conspiracy/authoritarianism, if you will; it's also a lack of cognitive complexity in these systems. It's better to interpret some of them as naive medieval inquisitors rather than stereotypical Dr. Eggman/Evil/etc.

Protesting by implementing something better is only a partial solution

Now we're not perfect as well. We've put ourselves in a position where we're always in an ideological confrontation with the governments and teaching people how to resist them. How sustainable is that position?

I believe just teaching the masses about privacy isn't enough. We tell them what not to do, but what should they then do to address the issues like child abuse on the dating websites?

This is a complex question. But when it comes to a specifically technical part—I think we need new social institutions, made by ethical hackers, specialized on the socio-technical issues in various systems. Not something like EFF (which works in the scope of confronting governments), but something that focuses on monitoring, receiving, and processing the relevant complaints, and something that designs solutions that all sides, including governments, actually may like. Something that ideally competes with and outruns governments before they even need to "think" about the next regulation.

And we need to teach the masses to ask these institutions for relevant solutions, not the governments that tend to oversimplify everything and literally solve technical problems with bureaucratic barbarianism.

Now, of course, while we still lack these institutions, we need to keep exchanging better ideas and implementing them, demonstrating that they are actually possible.

Alternative to KYC

What would be an appropriate nostr-based dating/friendship app solution? Specifically designed for finding people in the same location for further offline dating. Let's try to imagine one.

Dating from a normal trusted npub is probably not appropriate for many people. On the other hand, new, almost empty pseudoanonymous npubs don't make much sense, as they have no trust.

Suppose you create special pseudoanonymous profile(s) designed specifically for dating. Such a profile will be visible in dating apps only.

Here you can set your bio with the relevant facts that you like ~~foot hugs~~ certain hobbies, or whatever, without being embarrassed. You can set your age and so on, just like on the normal dating websites.

This pseudoanonymous profile is still not trusted, but users can explicitly give permission to trust ranking services of their choice to acknowledge the normal-pseudoanonymous connection (with cryptographic proofs from both profiles) so the services could assign the same trust rank as on the normal profile.

Now this dating profile can be prioritized for matching. Untrusted profiles will receive a corresponding warning badge (or will simply be ignored, using the app settings, probably by default).

What would we do with the abusive scenarios?

Every pseudoanonymous dating profile can report another one (if they at least had a conversation). They can provide the related location and even forward some of the DM messages as part of the report (much better than cryptographically unverifiable, possibly fabricated screenshots with "removed" messages that are usually shown to cops). The reports should be private. But who is the receiver?

Now the scary part. It's scary, but only for abusers.

Suppose you also have the cop bots, dedicated to specific locations, a FOSS solution that can:

receive the private reports

probably analyze them with local AI models (from simple spam checks to identifying the severity and priority of the report, aggregating them somehow)

forward the reports to the real cops of the related location

send acknowledgement/proof back to the reporter that the report is actually recognized as valid, that it's accepted and forwarded to the real cop

provide the possibility for further communication with a real cop for the reported case, for instance, for additional DMs forwarding; or to help with a new date arrangement with the abuser, but also with a cop instead of the victim this time.

All this without prematurely revealing the real identity of both the reporter and the reported. Reporters technically aren't required to reveal their identity at all if they don't trust the real cops; they may keep reporting abusers without further legal procedures; these reports later will be useful if some other reporter attempts to start a legal case against the same abuser.

This can go with further complexification, to the point where this cop bot would attempt to deceive the reported abusers by automatically generating fake pseudoanonymous profiles relevant enough to the abusers. These profiles will automatically match only with the abusers and will be instantly removed when neither of the expected abusers accepts the match with them. Those who matched will be provided to the real cops for the "special dating".

Of course the connection between real cops and the bot cops should also be cryptographically verifiable by apps. Real cops should have the .well-known/nostr.json (NIP-05) on their governmental website. The cops can run the bots themselves if they want and if they have enough capabilities for that.

Real cops that would attempt to abuse the system will be, for instance, disconnected from trust services: their fake dating profiles will become invisible to most dating app users.

If cops don't really work in your country—maybe you have any related volunteers? They can also run these bots and, for instance, spread certain cases to journalists and provide statistics to them.

This is briefly it

No KYC is required to catch another Appstein. And no KYC would ever help there. Real abusers will fake KYC, but they won't be able to fake the dating with a... sudden cop.

And all this has nothing to do with the particular age range. When the boundaries are that healthy, this is useful for everyone. Further legal processes will take age into account as usual.

My guess is that governments will be interested in these bots. If they don't or if they attempt to pervert this idea somehow—this will be another sign that they are interested in something different from solving the real systemic issues.

Still, I am alive. I am not surprised by any crisis. Many people from upper levels of hierarchy don't have any clue how to do business, not even what is purpose of it. They keep propagandizing more AI while lacking proper integration of it, because they are stuck into "optimize one variable every time at any costs, only one layer matters" paradigm. When entropic base is inflated relatively to higher levels of reality, it just leads to fracture of system into simpler conscious entities which adapt independently in more possibility space (this is what's meta of decentralization epoch, I think). Some of them recombinate into higher conscious entities, some continue collapse, some remain the same. So I keep going with my life as I see it, as I want it.

Thank you for clarification very much! I probably understood the SD very shallowly while was reading other things in parallel.

> It's possible, it's the way it is. The development is described as non-linear: we don't discretely jump to the next levels; multiple of them keep maturing in parallel. They are constrained by distinct phases though: full maturing of level is possible when previous levels also have finished this cycle (up to the exiting phase).

Yep. Potential of higher level is constrained by potential of lower level. This is seen in variety of things: from complexity of hardware and software technologies to societal organizations. For the former, it's interesting that you could still have photo-realistic graphics on Amigas, but this was limited to photos, some specifically optimized demos and scene, static elements of games because of color calculation complexity and very few MHz CPU with very few KBs of RAM. Why we need higher level? Probably that's related to downward causality in which higher levels of complexity manage entropy at lower levels, to keep it from disintegration by interaction with chaotic environment, thus making meaning of existence of certain level of reality (the second law of thermodynamics is compatible with disintegration at physical level, r/K selection pressure at biological level which limits long-term/big scale adaptation). Disintegration manifests itself, for example, in monolithic legacy software, when adding new features risks stability of system (especially in hustle working environments). Collapse phase of development probably occurs at critical point of disintegration, when higher level of complexity attempts to scale in entropy more than lower levels of complexity (simplest form of environment push/pull?).

> If you're curious it's defined in some detail for each level for instance in "Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change" (1996, Don Beck, Christopher Cowan); see "Exiting Phase" for each level/value system/vMEME.

I see. I've read these points, good for introduction though I expected more formal explanation on these. I've been already familiar with non-linear dynamics of world development which combines long-term entropy increase with complexity of the world and growth, acceleration, stagnation, degradation and collapse phases which were inspired by cellular automatons and relativistic personal development. That's why I found SD interesting to look at.

> Most likely I'm hallucinating. Do you mean that SD attempts to describe anything in relation to cognitive development?

No. I attempted to apply SD for different entities of intelligent life. But lower development of operational, than mental, than worldview still aligns with the hierarchy of potentials in SD, if operational model has more possibilities, than mental model which has more possibilities, than worldview model. The latter is very specific, while the former are broader. In times of crises, the worldview model tries to increase in possibilities because it's easiest option at these moments, then creating downward pressure.

2026-02-08T09:27:11Z

Spiral dynamics seems another Maslow's pyramid for neurotypical individuals, but covered into evolutionism. I think, main problems with it are:

1. What is "definition of done" for each level of complexity until it can leverage to new level of complexity? What if previous "levels" is developed for more after new level reaches its local maxima? For example, "cultural" level can evolve while lacking sufficient medication (for example, individual rituals and languages), autism does not totally block from integration into society. Thus properties from very different levels of complexity may be integrated at different stages of life.
2. Worldview complexity is not cognitive and functional complexities. The former may be ahead of the latter and vice versa. In beginning of 2010s I had deterministic worldview while most of knowledge and tools were experiential leveraged by magical thinking, not even complex logic was involved.

Since these unresolved problems of any hierarchical foundation I've come to Platonism-like foundation for worldview with different abstract "elements".

2026-02-01T14:02:40Z

That's how the New Renaissance starts from early Y2K Medieval with fading "cyberpunk". For me decentralization is a whole mindset. There are also nanoboards, stg, over-exploitation of hyper-centralized resources if you should use them for some purpose (like work), async remote work culture. What started as simple independent life individualism, it then evolves in more complex/progressive way. This does not happen suddenly one day though, this is long-term continuous trend. And it's not always about one real variable.

quoting nevent1q…994u
are you committed to decentralization?

for me, that means both being open to new freedom tech AND remaining ready to use existing ones

i keep almost every decentralized/FOSS messaging app or my accounts on social medias
if anyone ever says to me "do you use _?"
i should always be able to say "yes"

i won't contribute to the network effect of proprietary/centralized messengers like WhatsApp, Signal, Discord, or whichever other popular communication apps are in use
i won't seek fame on the big social medias with millions of users

and i WILL remain here on mastodon (or lemmy, or nostr, etc) 🫂
and i WILL be able to be reached on matrix (or XMPP, deltachat, etc) 💬

"But we need to move faster because we may lose opportunities and in general entropy is always increasing". Nah. This is so abstract and too much generalizing, this disregards critical aspects of work and of people who mostly align with it. Good epistemic of software engineering lays in either reducing routine friction, or creating new media products. Both ways are heavily creative and analytical work. If businesses evolve in terms of months and years, it doesn't mean you don't need any planning and vision. If you don't have it, you simply do low-operational work. Entropy increase argument is rofl for me since I have been doing CS beyond mainstream SWE work.

"But we need to ensure that employees do actual work, not slack off it". Create safe and enjoyable environments, hire smart people (the higher position is, the more intelligent employee is expected to be), reduce friction. -> "but we need to maintain healthy state of team". Constant pressure doesn't do that, contrary. But there are sometimes limits in extension and development of system ofc.

If intellectual work is done properly, it won't require much synchronization. Coding and designing, for example, is almost done in solo productively. Pair programming is rarely needed (especially in AI age).

Small changes is certainly a thing of slow life.

Like past major changes, this could require more advanced technology and goods besides just mindset shift.

I don't pretend to be otherwise. That's my natural position in life. Many of so-called "based chads" who criticize feminine people for "being too lazy and silly", have turned out to be just posers with no real masculine work like engineering frontier physical things with rational usage of resources (not just monkeyish attempts of "trial-and-error"). They are dumb at minimum, at maximum they are just finding scapegoats for lack of their own purpose in life. So I am not offended by them.

My 2026 resolution:

If something bad happens, it's test for adaptability.
If something significantly bad happens, it's test for intelligence.
If something very bad happens, it's test for soul.
Under bad conditions only survival-related skills, analytical thinking and politics emerge. Use it only to protect from evil, do not fall for evil. Build good.
Creativity emerges only in true boredom when you're healthy, safe and own it at least.
Real change is slow, persistent, individual, decentralized and with good sense of civilization purpose this time.

Relation between informational entropy and probability of event feels natural in choice between "informational bubble" and "observing bitter reality". If event affects my life, then it's good to take it into account. If I can do something good with it, then it's meaningful. If I cannot do something good with it, then why should bother about it. If I can't find "why" on myself, then it's completely meaningless.

2026-01-06T16:01:57Z

I was taking plain text notes for 2 years. This worked fine when I had few unique notes and some repetitive notes. Then, after I experienced more moments in my life, this became cumbersome to take them day to day. I tried to split notes by banger and cute sections at some point. This eased note taking and reading them. I even could fit short fictional story in between them. But at the end of the year, I felt fatigue again. Too many things were repeating in my text book, text notes was feeling less interesting to catch with them.

I also do handwritten note taking. However, it retained only for celebrations.

Java was just very popular among newbies back then. I know him IRL and I studied with him in the same university. At the first grade of uni when I met him, I was junior dev who just finished one year of working at small local company. I never coded in Java back then, but in JavaScript, Python and some PHP. Probably we matched by shared interest in programming, Eastern philosophies and by some degree of a fact that he's vegetarian. I was not vegetarian and am not. Though I tried go veg for 3 years straight prior to the first date year, to find an "inner peace" in chronic depression while lacking F things.

2026-01-01T16:13:32Z

Just broke up with a "friend" who wasted my attention on pseudo-philosophical discussions and was indirectly threatening me with a possibility of hard physical damage through poetic mentions. I asked him to be clear in his questions but he still rejected it with arcane quotes. Then he completely deleted our dialogue. Two months ago he indirectly threatened me with AI deepfakes. In December of 2025 he offered me creative collaboration without clear agenda/idea (or at least offer a channel where it can be discussed clearly). Even tho we were friends.

In the previous year I knew intuitively that something was wrong in our relationship. We made one small real project on which I tutored him. In 2020 I also tutored him on another collaborative Java project with depth of programming patterns. However, he lacked genuine interest and consistency and he abandoned his learning with no useful or creative/interesting results in pet projects. He could not even consciously admit what were the problems in his path, why he even needed to start programming at all. Then after failure he just jumped to producing AI "art" with no original value or effort in sharing it. With all that he was not even bothered by a fact that I have autism spectrum disorder and I needed to put in more effort in understanding cues than so-called "normies". But I needed to confirm my clues.

I have known him for 6 years 😞️

I trust my friends like all people do.
