gjm / GJM is on Nostr

I have strong convictions that are loosely held about money, Artificial Intelligence, human potential and personal development.

I find cooking stressful! I do it to learn how to cope with stress. I envy you folks who have good relationships with making food!

Finding it tough to get going this morning. I have a huge day on the cards but I feel like I am wading through mud already. Probably worth spending some time breaking tasks down to really small pieces and micro celebrating the wins 🙂

What is a good example of this from your perspective?

I think that likes on #nostr are the same as a smile in real life. Stranger or not, giving someone a smile is an incredibly powerful way of acknowledging another human being. Likes on Nostr, in the absence of a dedicated tool, are the next best thing to a smile, a no strings attached acknowledgment that you are seen or heard, regardless of your views or opinions.

Yes, there is definitely nuance to the art of zapping! It’s my opinion that Nostr would see more retention if users somehow knew more about their genuine reach. In the absence of a dedicated neutral tool, a like fills that gap.

Good point, I had not thought of that!

Thanks. I get the zap thing but I always appreciate, in the absence of a better “I see or hear you” tool, seeing likes. Cheers!

Likes are fundamental to #nostr because there is no other way to politely acknowledge to someone whose post has no value that they were seen. Some posts are not worth a comment, are not inspiring, have no value in any sense. However, just like in real life, knowing that you have been seen or heard is important, and often reassuring. A simple like is a powerful way to let someone know in a land of no algorithms, that they were seen. Gm!

Wow! That is a significant upside for such a small amount of work. I love hearing stories like this!

Gm. Finally feeling a bit grounded after being away for two weeks. This is day 5 of getting all of the major routines that contribute to the “machine” of the family home up and running. Onwards with the mission of food, fitness, family and my chosen focus! Have a great day 😀

Ross Coulthart has branched out with a new YouTube channel. This is a brief intro video. He wants to “keep the bastards honest.” It will be interesting to see what he uncovers. https://youtu.be/nRQLJGy8GMs?si=CbB0TQQPQYMq1BqN

Gm. I just ran 12 cups of coffee through the coffee maker with the pot on the bench. 🤣
