Hi jb55! thanks for doing this AMA. During TFTC you talked about building a metaverse world, could you go into more detail into what that would look like if you built it?

Zap buy in here.

Is Zeus fully "open-source" project, or is it backed by a company? Is the current Zeus model sustainable over long term?
How do you think about "competition" with other wallets and projects?

I fully vouch for the character, wit, intellect and handsomeness of this individual.

The Creality 3d printer is pretty cool. Its open source, and you can print upgrades for the printer. My next printing project will be printing household items and organizing the stls in my nextcloud. Would be cool to see a huge swath of plebs designing and manufacturing their own products at home.

We're probably 3 years away from plebs printing tables and chairs at home using plastic bottles, assisted by a 3d printing LLM hosted on their Start9. The pleb will sell the stl on a thriving nostr marketplace for sats over Ark, lightning, or ecash.

I'd recommend quitting entirely. You don't need it and it sounds like you can't help but have an unhealthy relationship with it. IMO like similar things, it's an amazing tool, medicine, and recreation, but it should be removed if it's getting in the way of your life.

I've gone through two weed periods in my life and while I did benefit from the perspective shift, during each period I began to suspect it was interfering with my goals. If you're not meeting your goals, you need to change things until you do meet them. Removing routine consumption of a powerful medicine that's known to affect motivation, attention, and memory (and differently for everyone which is why you can't trust anyone's "well, it works for me") seems like a natural thing to do.

Consider it an experiment and stop consuming it for 6 months while studying your progress on things that are important to you. For me, after about 8 weeks of ending my last "period," I began making progress on my goals in ways that I hadn't before. Weed made my thinking sloppy and I was stuck thinking rather than doing, exploring rather than exploiting.

Everyone that regularly consumes it thinks it's net-good for them (I certainly did). It's worth seriously considering that might not be the case for you and you cannot know until you take a long break and measure your experience.
