Recent events also has me thinking about X again. I may for the foreseeable future activate the nostr<>x link and only post from nostr.

X is built/thrives on rage hate. And Elon thrives on rage, false “freedom” flags, conspiracies, and his own fever dream.

Nostr has a long way to go. I hope more will join, I really do. I’ll be worrying less about my “outreach and impact” on X, and more about what’s good and right.

Elon musk and his running and handling of X stands in direct opposition to what I believe is morally right and good, and surely antithetical to my values. His platform will “turn up the heat” rather than promote peace, civility, and the common good.
Good morning.

I spent most of yesterday working on a new Nostr article that I have in development, among other work.

Obviously, I had to take breaks from time to time to check the breaking news regarding the assassination attempt, since it was being reported on over the course of a few hours and was generational-scale news that can affect many things.

But after each break once I was caught up, I put my head back down and got back to work on the article, including going through Nostr's Github and stuff.

It's easy to get mired in shock news, but after a bit of time to see what happened, any further time spent beyond that is just chasing dopamine and shock value without anything new learned. At that point, it's best to get back to constructive work, or get back to enjoying life with your friends and family.

Don't let the algorithm control you. Become the algorithm.
