Dorsey: "Technology champions freedom."

Modern life requires constant permission for basic actions involving money, speech, and access to information. This permission is granted by governments and corporations, creating friction and limiting freedom.
Entities Controlling Permission: Three main entities control permission:
Governments: Hold a monopoly on violence and can seize property or restrict actions.
Corporations:Function as powerful citizens with reduced liability, controlling much of online interaction and prioritizing advertiser needs over user needs.
Self: Internalized societal pressures and fear of judgment (cancel culture) can limit actions and self-expression.
Permissionless technologies are crucial for activists, human rights advocates, scientists, and artists who often face censorship or surveillance. These technologies protect against government and corporate control.
Bitcoin solves the double-spending problem using a proof-of-work model, creating a decentralized, deflationary currency independent of governments and corporations. It offers increased financial freedom, especially for cross-border transactions.
Nostr is a decentralized social network where users own their data and identity using public and private keys, ensuring authenticity and preventing censorship.
The dominance of closed AI models by a few corporations raises concerns about manipulation and control. Open-source AI models are needed to ensure transparency and democratic access to artificial intelligence.
Three paths to adopting permissionless technologies are experimentation, reaction (to censorship or account closures), and proactive exploration. Mindfulness, minimizing digital footprint, and verifying information are key practices.
In an era of deepfakes and AI-generated content, verifying information through personal experience and intuition is crucial.
Primal.net is a Nostr client enabling micropayments and a shift away from advertising-based internet commerce.
