I use both nostr (on amethyst) and mastodon. I can't help feeling better on nostr.

I can say of myself that I am a pretty naive person. I tend to believe spontaneously people when they tell me something. I can also say of myself that I am relatively slow to understand. I tend do ask naive questions when the meaning of something is not clear to me. I happen to be mocked for this. For a long time, I believed that I was the issue. I did not have enough legitimacy. I did not have enough culture. My questions were poorly phrased. I was simply not enough. However, despite my auto-repression self protective system not to look dumb, a part of me would occasionally find the crack to let a silly question go out. It was only when I was able to go over the embarrassment phase, when I found the courage to insist, or even ask further questions to understand better, that I could realize that the person in front of me actually did not have the answers. That their understanding was quite superficial. And that their mocking was essentially their own protective system, a reverse mirror of mine. Those experiences, first unconscious, are what let this part of me keep a tiny room. As I become more mature emotionally, I can see it with more clarity. Accept it. Stand by it. Love it. I even chose to give it more space. We should never be afraid to ask questions.

Most people don't actually want #capitalism (understood as the possibility for one actor to accumulate an inifinite amount of private property). Who really want billionaires to call the shots for them? What we want is a decent amount of capital to live, freedom to interact with people and the market, and be rewarded (or more specifically recognized) when we work hard. The decent amount of capital we need to live is lowered when we put and keep certain things into commons (fresh air, clean water... But also open source infrastructures).

Hello you beautiful people I found on Nostr ! I have been following you since I came on Nostr and you are a source of inspiration to me. Your lifestyle resonates with me 🙂 I am just releasing this simple project to help people like myself and probably you to easily find products made of 100% natural material and get rid of plastic. 👉 @a5142938…0ef19da3 - https://origin-nature.com I would really like to have your feedback on this and you probably know some nice brands and manufacturers to list there ! Do you want to take a quick look ? @Melissa @Beau Winn @Shannen Michaela @Christian Van Camp @Dakota Mays @Leah @Diyana @Katja Lutz @H E N
