yes, it solves trusting an **unknown** party by trusting a **known** party. this is really gonna shine as #WoT continues to come online. sure, you might not want to trust npubRando to escrow your money, but would you trust Dorsey to do so (at great reputational harm if he robs you)? what about npubExcellentEscrow, who happens to be Dorsey's #1 favorite escrow provider? ...or maybe npubDecentEscrow, who is Dorsey's #5 favorite provider but charges 20% less of a fee than the #1..? etc. these are problems for the free market to solve through open competition. which is facilitated best by an open and unopinionated protocol 🤗

Violence is a controversial term. In military contexts and among security professional, violence and force are words of the trade. Among the general population, violence is something abnormal and counter to "civilized" life. In nature, survival really is the correct term for violence, even though violence is the means by which survival is achieved. When violence occurs, there are always two opposing forces being tested. And our terms for these are Offense and Defense. Offense is necessary to survival as much as defense is, and both are manifestations of violence. We have made so much of our society non-violent that only a small portion of our population has to engage in violence for survival (or a large part of the population for a small portion of time). But when even that small portion is removed, then whole population's survival is in jeopardy.

I have an #askNostr for #bookstr recommendations. bit of a preamble necessary because the recommedee is idiosyncratic. I was talking to a bitcoin-naive friend about the high-quality handmade goods and healthy food in the circular economy and bitcoiners' commitment to craftsmanship and low-time-preference products. I pointed to my nostr:nprofile1qqsx845ex2wm3cu9d8e93xm282nmpu33emyr5aufu20s5wt8sx7h6ushflkvl belt and nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hc28uk0q 's results on my skin. i mentioned nostr:nprofile1qqsfnnh6v3dspqtnwv3e46aed5k3nypyfx2wtet92ekg9szt3hr9k4qq23uac , the (non-nostr) guys i get my beef and chicken from, and nostr:npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh and nostr:nprofile1qqsfr084yhxtx4sttkjsneav95fjvqla8tcr8lwhmjczm4tl5rdqd8c7ca93j . She's an apparel designer and a horticulturalist/farmer with an academic background in philosophy and her whole business (and life) stance is about slow, deliberate quality. when she heard there's a population of people who value something so highly that they are unwilling to trade it **except** for truly quality goods and healthy foods, the whole thing snapped into place for her. her request to me, and the thing i'm asking you to help with: she asked me to give her a stack of books on this topic, and i know she'll read them. i don't want to give her the standard "how bitcoin works" or economics books. i'm trying to find books or writing that will appeal to her directly and hit on the point that a lowering of time preference and deflationary money in the bitcoin economy naturally incentivizes skilled craftspeople, artists and farmers and discerning consumers. i'm starting with https://brandonquittem.com/bitcoin-is-the-mycelium-of-money/ because it's perfectly in her biology/philosophy wheelhouse. so, nostr and #bookstr , what books or articles would you recommend to her? best case scenario: we orange pill her and the circular economy adds another extremely talented artisan.
