I love that nostr allows more speech
Normally I dont watch videos. But if Uncle Bob posts it, I'll take the time to watch it.
You are two people I respect very highly in the nostr universe.
I'm particularly interested in what dread said yesterday on stage at nostrasia.
And that is: "how can nostr be used to spread love". He argued convincingly to me that love is a universal communication method. How can we show it.
I've been thinking of 3 things to inform me:
1. Fight Club: "They say we hurt the ones we love. Well it works both ways"
2. Joseph Campbell: "For me the great teaching of Jesus was, love your enemy" (topical!)
3. Thomas Mann's erotic irony: Perfection is not lovable, it is only admirable. The only things you can love are imperfections. And your measure as an artist is the more imperfections you can describe as an arrow of truth, with the healing balm of love.
My thought is to create an app, where you have something you want to say. But for a few sats you can add some love to the comment. Say the truth but in a kinder way. On one side of the app you see gratitude, all the nice things that person has done for you, and for others. Your recent positive encounters.
Dont mean to hijack this thread, but maybe we can solve a lot of the problems on social media with more speech and more love!
