"Society is becoming increasingly brutal, not only violent and delinquent, criminal, but at every moment rude, aggressive, boorish, uncivil, as it becomes more ideologically and media-wise politically correct: as if the demand there freed it from all constraint here, and ideology from morality. The same people who, when exiting an elevator, walk past you stepping on your feet without seeing you and without interrupting their conversation with others, are ready to give you serious lessons the next moment on equality between men, between men and women, between children and the elderly, between races that do not exist. From a society that has no other word on its lips than openness and diversity, the gaze gradually disappears, this way of recognizing the other and first of all seeing them and letting it show that you see them, that you make room for them in the community of species.
The gaze, the polite exchanged gaze, has always seemed to me the exact opposite of true racism, because it is a silent assent to the fraternity of belonging. But our era, the most obsessed ever, and for good reason, with dogmatic anti-racist correctness, is at the same time, I believe, is it by coincidence, the one that invented the ridiculous affectation of not seeing, of not seeing the other, even if locked for three minutes with them, between twenty floors, in a one-square-meter cabin, crossing paths on a mountain trail or sharing a hotel breakfast room with them; of not seeing them and, a fortiori, not greeting them, even with a discreet nod or a hint of a smile."

#Nostr was born neutral, but #Bitcoin colonized it in the best possible way: not through imposition, but through the power of ideas and economics.
Now the question is: is this "Bitcoinization" of #Nostr an absolute good, or does it risk limiting wider adoption?
