Possible takeaways:

- Nostr is a dumb protocol; is it proud, doomed to fail?
- Does nostr fail to take care of its "eggs"? I.e. developer culture and merge access to the NIPs repo?
- Is nostr "harsh with its young", failing to nurture new users, or non-technical users?
- Is her labor in vain, without concern? Are we overlooking important problems that will result in interest evaporating?
- Does nostr "scorn the horse and its rider", disregarding the strength of the government and incumbent social media companies?

Maybe this is all irrelevant, but I think the parallels are striking.

Here is what the Bible has to say about ostriches:

The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork’s?
For she leaves her eggs on the ground,
And warms them in the dust;
She forgets that a foot may crush them,
Or that a wild beast may break them.
She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers;
Her labor is in vain, without concern,
Because God deprived her of wisdom,
And did not endow her with understanding.
When she lifts herself on high,
She scorns the horse and its rider.

Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with thunder?
Can you frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
He gallops into the clash of arms.
He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;
Nor does he turn back from the sword.
The quiver rattles against him,
The glittering spear and javelin.
He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
