“ … couldn’t write a line of code with a gun to my head.” The mind doesn’t work at the point of a gun, that’s why we USED TO beat the Soviet scientists. YOU can sleep well, American Science? Not so well.

This is somewhat embarrassing to admit. I’m the kind of guy who can quote you Shakespeare all day but couldn’t write a line of code with a gun to my head. I’m woefully nontechnical.

It took me a long time to wrap my humanities brain around the tech of #bitcoin, and almost a half decade later I’m still learning everyday.

The tech of #nostr, candidly, is even more intimidating to me. But I’m also in awe of it and all the builders working on it.

I’m always thinking man, I wish I could contribute more, but I just don’t have the skills!

But then I realized, the biggest contribution I can make to Nostr is just to bring my whole, weird, uncensored self to it, to bring my life energy, my thoughts, and my passions to it. And if we all do that, whether we’re technical or not, this is gonna be a wondrously alive place.

Anyway, Friday night thoughts.

You’re all great and truly inspiring. Gn.
