Zaps are basically equivalent to microdosing cocaine, the brain chemistry is roughly the same

When I first came on here and started browsing all I saw were people talking about zaps, posting memes about zaps, asking for zaps, posting excitedly about getting zaps. Lightning emojis everywhere. I didn’t even know what it was at the time but it totally gave me internet crack vibes.

For those who serve mammon, the effects of zaps are far more potent than of likes and shares. It goes beyond just a feeling of acceptance by others; when a cryptard receives a zap, they feel a rush of power due to receiving more of their idol bitcoin, even if it's only a few cents.If psychologists weren't so busy trying to convince men that the right thing to do is chop their penis off and pretend to be a woman, they might have some interest in studying the mainstream Nostr crowd.

Who is mammon?Interesting point about the rush of power. I would love to see an anthropologist/psychologist comment on the mainstream nostr crowd. They’re programming themselves to zap above all else. Losing all nuance and renouncing real interactions. Making everything entirely one dimensional. And it seems they haven’t actually thought through the environments bred by zaps. Seems ironic to care so much about financial freedom to then renounce their neurological freedom and create a central zap authority.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is a case in point. You chase after zaps all day, but in the end all that happens is your brain itself gets zapped away, to the point where your only response to information you don't like is "Lamoo 🤣🤣".

"Mammon /ˈmæmən/ in the New Testament of the Bible is commonly thought to mean money, material wealth, or any entity that promises wealth, and is associated with the greedy pursuit of gain. The Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke both quote Jesus using the word in a phrase often rendered in English as "You cannot serve both God and mammon."In the Middle Ages, it was often personified and sometimes included in the seven princes of Hell. Mammon in Hebrew (ממון) means "money". The word was adopted to modern Hebrew to mean wealth."https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_2e0d4e9130193bfae6be675ef4876a45c248a117bf7ceb6d359ca9fea9fdbaeb.jpg

Sorry if I missed something, I'm using Iris and it's horrible for actually following up on conversations. It seems to be designed around conversations that last no more than 15 seconds, which I assume is the average attention span of the average Nostr user.

The zap system discourages posts like that. Only vapid posts that instantly get a point across that the reader implicitly agrees with get zaps. The trend is toward pithy, uninsightful positive reinforcement. It's a bubble-creating machine.

Hi. I’m back. I’m going to take a stab at responding: (1) We’re social creatures and we’re sheep. We’ll always gravitate to a huddled mass of Kardasians and Hiltons blowing their way into likes and vast wealth.I don’t know what you mean by this or what it has to do with zap culture. Could you clarify? As an aside I’ll respond conceptually: It’s true that a lot of people (probably the majority) gravitate towards the Kardashians. Are you saying this mass behavior enables their fame? If so, isn’t that bad? It is also true that an important minority of people are repelled by whatever cultural phenomenon they represent. The dissidents, punks, independent thinkers, etc. I consider these people to be crucial and I generally identify with them. I would much rather support them. Again, not sure how this is relevant to our original discussion of zap culture but I’ll offer it anyway. (2) Zaps can also be used for those with brains to support others with brains. This I don’t see. The statement itself is vague and a generalization so I actually don’t really understand what you mean. But I’ll respond to what I think you mean. There are countless ways for people with brains to support each other. I would say that the biggest reward for a person with a brain is to be engaged with, to be challenged, to collaborate in building something or in advancing ideas together or in solving problems together. I don’t see how a zap achieves any of these things. If people were throwing money at Socrates when he was giving speeches and exposing his ideas, I doubt anything intellectually/philosophically fruitful would have come of it. Einstein refined and ultimately proved his theory of relativity by corresponding with a contemporary. This is far removed from zap culture. My read on social media is that it has generally made society stupider. Shorter attention spans, obsessed with external validation, wasting their attention on extremely superficial things, fueling consumerism, losing discernment skills. Zapping seems like an extension and an amplifier of this and more. (3) Nostr Substack,Nostr news, Nostr Nobel Prize.Again. How are any of these made fundamentally better by making zaps part of the equation? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
