@ c066aac5:6a41a034
2025-04-05 16:58:58
I’m drawn to extremities in art. The louder, the bolder, the more outrageous, the better. Bold art takes me out of the mundane into a whole new world where anything and everything is possible. Having grown up in the safety of the suburban midwest, I was a bit of a rebellious soul in search of the satiation that only came from the consumption of the outrageous. My inclination to find bold art draws me to NOSTR, because I believe NOSTR can be the place where the next generation of artistic pioneers go to express themselves. I also believe that as much as we are able, were should invite them to come create here.
# My Background: A Small Side Story
My father was a professional gamer in the 80s, back when there was no money or glory in the avocation. He did get a bit of spotlight though after the fact: in the mid 2000’s there were a few parties making documentaries about that era of gaming as well as current arcade events (namely 2007’s*Chasing Ghosts*and*The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters*). As a result of these documentaries, there was a revival in the arcade gaming scene. My family attended events related to the documentaries or arcade gaming and I became exposed to a lot of things I wouldn’t have been able to find. The producer of*The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters* had previously made a documentary called*New York Doll*which was centered around the life of bassist Arthur Kane. My 12 year old mind was blown: The New York Dolls were a glam-punk sensation dressed in drag. The music was from another planet. Johnny Thunders’ guitar playing was like Chuck Berry with more distortion and less filter. Later on I got to meet the Galaga record holder at the time, Phil Day, in Ottumwa Iowa. Phil is an Australian man of high intellect and good taste. He exposed me to great creators such as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Shakespeare, Lou Reed, artists who created things that I had previously found inconceivable.
I believe this time period informed my current tastes and interests, but regrettably I think it also put coals on the fire of rebellion within. I stopped taking my parents and siblings seriously, the Christian faith of my family (which I now hold dearly to) seemed like a mundane sham, and I felt I couldn’t fit in with most people because of my avant-garde tastes. So I write this with the caveat that there should be a way to encourage these tastes in children without letting them walk down the wrong path. There is nothing inherently wrong with bold art, but I’d advise parents to carefully find ways to cultivate their children’s tastes without completely shutting them down and pushing them away as a result. My parents were very loving and patient during this time; I thank God for that.
With that out of the way, lets dive in to some bold artists:
# Nicolas Cage: Actor
There is an excellent video by Wisecrack on Nicolas Cage that explains him better than I will, which I will link[here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8IfDNHsCLE). Nicolas Cage rejects the idea that good acting is tied to mere realism; all of his larger than life acting decisions are deliberate choices. When that clicked for me, I immediately realized the man is a genius. He borrows from Kabuki and German Expressionism, art forms that rely on exaggeration to get the message across. He has even created his own acting style, which he calls Nouveau Shamanic. He augments his imagination to go from acting to being. Rather than using the old hat of method acting, he transports himself to a new world mentally. The projects he chooses to partake in are based on his own interests or what he considers would be a challenge (making a bad script good for example). Thus it doesn’t matter how the end result comes out; he has already achieved his goal as an artist. Because of this and because certain directors don’t know how to use his talents, he has a noticeable amount of duds in his filmography. Dig around the duds, you’ll find some pure gold. I’d personally recommend the films*Pig,* *Joe,* *Renfield,* and his Christmas film *The Family Man*.
# Nick Cave: Songwriter
What a wild career this man has had! From the apocalyptic mayhem of his band The Birthday Party to the pensive atmosphere of his album*Ghosteen*, it seems like Nick Cave has tried everything. I think his secret sauce is that he’s always working. He maintains an excellent newsletter called*The Red Hand Files*, he has written screenplays such as*Lawless*, he has written books, he has made great film scores such as*The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford*, the man is religiously prolific. I believe that one of the reasons he is prolific is that he’s not afraid to experiment. If he has an idea, he follows it through to completion. From the album*Murder Ballads*(which is comprised of what the title suggests) to his rejected sequel to*Gladiator*(*Gladiator: Christ Killer*), he doesn’t seem to be afraid to take anything on. This has led to some over the top works as well as some deeply personal works. Albums like*Skeleton Tree*and*Ghosteen*were journeys through the grief of his son’s death. *The Boatman’s Call*is arguably a better break-up album than anything Taylor Swift has put out. He’s not afraid to be outrageous, he’s not afraid to offend, but most importantly he’s not afraid to be himself. Works I’d recommend include The Birthday Party’s*Live 1981-82*, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’*The Boatman’s Call*, and the film*Lawless*.
# Jim Jarmusch: Director
I consider Jim’s films to be bold almost in an ironic sense: his works are bold in that they are, for the most part, anti-sensational. He has a rule that if his screenplays are criticized for a lack of action, he makes them even less eventful. Even with sensational settings his films feel very close to reality, and they demonstrate the beauty of everyday life. That's what is bold about his art to me: making the sensational grounded in reality while making everyday reality all the more special. *Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai* is about a modern-day African-American hitman who strictly follows the rules of the ancient Samurai, yet one can resonate with the humanity of a seemingly absurd character. *Only Lovers Left Alive*is a vampire love story, but in the middle of a vampire romance one can see their their own relationships in a new deeply human light. Jim’s work reminds me that art reflects life, and that there is sacred beauty in seemingly mundane everyday life. I personally recommend his films*Paterson*,*Down by Law*, and*Coffee and Cigarettes*.
# NOSTR: We Need Bold Art
NOSTR is in my opinion a path to a better future. In a world creeping slowly towards everything apps, I hope that the protocol where the individual owns their data wins over everything else. I love freedom and sovereignty. If NOSTR is going to win the race of everything apps, we need more than Bitcoin content. We need more than shirtless bros paying for bananas in foreign countries and exercising with girls who have seductive accents. Common people cannot see themselves in such a world. NOSTR needs to catch the attention of everyday people. I don’t believe that this can be accomplished merely by introducing more broadly relevant content; people are searching for content that speaks to them. I believe that NOSTR can and should attract artists of all kinds because NOSTR is one of the few places on the internet where artists can express themselves fearlessly. Getting zaps from NOSTR’s value-for-value ecosystem has far less friction than crowdfunding a creative project or pitching investors that will irreversibly modify an artist’s vision. Having a place where one can post their works without fear of censorship should be extremely enticing. Having a place where one can connect with fellow humans directly as opposed to a sea of bots should seem like the obvious solution. If NOSTR can become a safe haven for artists to express themselves and spread their work, I believe that everyday people will follow. The banker whose stressful job weighs on them will suddenly find joy with an original meme made by a great visual comedian. The programmer for a healthcare company who is drowning in hopeless mundanity could suddenly find a new lust for life by hearing the song of a musician who isn’t afraid to crowdfund their their next project by putting their lighting address on the streets of the internet. The excel guru who loves independent film may find that NOSTR is the best way to support non corporate movies. **My closing statement:** continue to encourage the artists in your life as I’m sure you have been, but while you’re at it give them the purple pill. You may very well be a part of building a better future.

## 3.
### What this presentation about
### A protocols design includes initself a thesis
### on protocol adoption, due to underlying assumptions
1:17
## 4.
### Examples
### Governments/Academic: Pubhubs (Matrix)
### Bussiness: Bluesky
### Foss: Nostr
1:58
## 5.
### What constitutes minimal viability?
### Pubhubs (Matrix): make is "safe" for user
### Bluesky: liability and monetization
### Foss: Simpel for developer
4:03
## 6.
### The Point of Nostr
### Capture network effects through interoperability

## 7.
## Three assumptions
### The direction is workable
### Method is workable
### Motivation and means are sufficient
5:27
## 8.
## Assumption 1
### The asymmetric cryptography paradigm is a good idea

## 9.
### Nostr is a exponent of the key-pair paradigm.
### And Basicly just that.

## 10.
### Keys suck
### Protect a secret that you are supposed use all the time.

## 12.
### Nostr's base protocol is not minimally viable for anything, except own development.
8:25
## 13.
### Complexity leads to capture;
### i.e. free and open in the name,

*Notes from the Inaugural Muslim Bitcoin Summit Nostr Workshop.*
04.06.25
Dallas, TX
# What is Nostr?
> “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays” ~ fiatjaf
Nostr is an open protocol that is a censorship-resistant, global "social" network. It doesn't rely on any trusted central server (has resilient decentralization), and is based on cryptographic keys and signatures (so it is tamperproof).
The initial description of the idea can be found at https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html.
## Digital Sovereignty
> “The first step towards establishing any type of Digital Sovereignty is to consider migration away from infrastructure and networks that are saturated with malevolent surveillance… there must be a simple recognition that anything sustainable from an Islamic perspective cannot be built on the platforms of Meta, Google or Amazon.” ~ [Ibn Maghreb](https://theiqrafiles.com/notes-on-digital-sovereignty/)
Palestine has become the litmus test for censorship in social media:
- X (formerly Twitter) - [Musk openly supports Zionism](https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/opinion/how-elon-musk-became-zionist--from-free-speech-absolutist-to)
- Meta (FB, IG, WhatsApp) - [Project Lavender](https://blog.paulbiggar.com/meta-and-lavender/)
- Google (YouTube) - [Project Nimbus](https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/google-firings-gaza-project-nimbus/)
- Microsoft (LI) - [BDS “No Azure for Apartheid” campaign](https://www.bdsmovement.net/microsoft)
These are just a few examples of the barrier for a muslim narrative in fiat social media. To build unstoppable resistance we must move away from the platform and address the issue at the protocol level.
## Nostr Protocol Explained
1. **Relays:** Backend servers that store and broadcast data. Anyone can run one. Currently over 1k relays across over 50 countries.
2. **Clients:**
Platforms built for graphical user interface with Nostr. Anyone can build these and most are interoperable.
3. **Key Cryptography:** User public and private keys.
*Simple video explaination: [Nostr in less than 10 minutes!](https://youtu.be/Q6f6bdKWqF8)*
### Nostr's Key Features:
- No Ownership - No CEO, board of directors, foundation, etc.
- No Ads, No Big Data Collection - Users are not a product.
- No Algorithms - Less drama, less depressing content.
- Uncensorability - Not your keys, not your posts.
- SEO - clean ```dofollow``` links for “Google Juice”.
- Zaps! - BTC/Lightning integration.
> “This is really really important in the age of AI where in a few years you are not going to know the difference between something that is real and something that is fake. We need technologies that you can actually sign and you have the authenticity to do so, and only you, to do that.” ~ [Jack Dorsey](https://youtu.be/0YDj1QdL2Zs)

En el vasto universo de "Dune", Frank Herbert nos presenta un mundo donde el poder, la religión y la economía se entrelazan de manera fascinante. A primera vista, uno podría pensar que esta saga épica no tiene mucho que ofrecer a los libertarios. Sin embargo, al examinarla a través de la lente de la Escuela Austriaca y el anarcocapitalismo, emergen lecciones valiosas sobre la naturaleza del poder, la importancia del libre mercado y los peligros del intervencionismo estatal.
**El Estado y el control de los recursos**
En "Dune", el Estado, representado por el Imperio Corrino, ejerce un control férreo sobre el recurso más valioso del universo: la especia melange. Este monopolio estatal sofoca la innovación y el libre intercambio, creando una economía distorsionada y propensa a la corrupción. La lucha por el control de Arrakis, el único planeta donde se produce la especia, es un claro ejemplo de cómo el intervencionismo estatal genera conflictos y guerras.
**El mesianismo y el peligro del liderazgo carismático**
La figura de Paul Atreides, el mesías Muad'Dib, nos advierte sobre los peligros del liderazgo carismático y el culto a la personalidad. Su ascenso al poder, impulsado por la manipulación religiosa y el miedo, desemboca en una guerra santa que se extiende por el universo, cobrando millones de vidas. Esta tragedia nos recuerda que el poder, incluso cuando se ejerce con las mejores intenciones, tiende a corromper y a generar consecuencias imprevistas.
**El libre mercado y la innovación**
A pesar del control estatal, en "Dune" también encontramos ejemplos de libre mercado e innovación. Los fremen, habitantes del desierto de Arrakis, han desarrollado una cultura basada en la autosuficiencia y el ingenio, adaptándose a un entorno hostil y creando tecnologías únicas. Su capacidad para sobrevivir y prosperar en un mundo sin Estado es un testimonio del poder del libre mercado y la iniciativa individual.
**Lecciones para el anarcocapitalismo**
"Dune" nos ofrece valiosas lecciones para el anarcocapitalismo. Nos recuerda que el Estado, incluso en sus formas más benignas, tiende a sofocar la libertad y la prosperidad. Nos advierte sobre los peligros del liderazgo carismático y la importancia de la descentralización del poder. Y nos muestra que el libre mercado y la innovación son esenciales para la supervivencia y el progreso de la humanidad.
En un mundo donde el Estado y el poder centralizado siguen siendo la norma, "Dune" nos invita a imaginar un futuro donde la libertad y la cooperación voluntaria sean los pilares de la sociedad. Un futuro donde, como los fremen en el desierto, podamos construir un mundo mejor sin necesidad de amos ni señores.

♟️ **The scene:**
Starting April 11th, 2025, every week in **Apaneca, El Salvador** - a town so small you’d miss it if you blinked - a quiet revolution will be unfolding.
In soma chess, taking place at **📍Estudio Malinche**- chessboards aren’t just for play. They’re **gateways to a modern kind of culture** - one where discipline meets digital curiosity, and where tradition doesn’t mean rejecting tech, but **hacking it for growth**.
This isn’t about creating grandmasters.
It’s about using chess’s ancient magic to teach:
- **Respect** (for the game and community, your opponent, and yourself).
- **Patience** (because the board doesn’t reward haste).
- **Perseverance** (every loss is a lesson in disguise).
But there’s a twist: **We’re not aiming to teaching chess. We’re aiming to teaching how to navigate a world where culture is now built on code, forums, and digital communities.**
> **_Chess as a Trojan horse to self-learning, learning better and doing better._**
---
**Why Chess?**
Chess is the ultimate **self-improvement metaphor**:
✅ _The opponent could leave you a winning position - but can_ **_you_** **_see_** **_it_**_?_
✅ _You could blame luck - or ask,_ **_“_**_Where did_ **_I_** _go wrong_**_?”_**
✅ _You could rage-quit - or_ **_learn to love the grind._**
---
**The hidden curriculum: Where analog meets algorithm**
**1. Embracing digital curiosity**
_We’re not teaching openings - we’re showing players how to hunt for knowledge._
**2. Mistakes as rituals**
_Owning blunders, and analyzing them with engines._
**3. The long game**
_Tracking progress and digitally storing your games._
---
**Join us**
This isn’t _just_ about Apaneca.
🌍 **Your challenge:**
- **If you’re nearby**, come play (every Thursday, 1-5PM, zero expectations).
- **If you’re far**, do this in your town. We’ll share our **playbook**.
- **If you’re online**, **follow us**npub1hgmdpalp9tz37vh9kxx49fm5pl75w6vwek2r80r20x2stnvq9jaq705r99 and tag along for the ride.
---
**Final Move:**
Chess doesn’t build character. It reveals it - then sharpens it.
And **culture and communities aren’t just what we inherit. They're what we build.**
