Thank God for Nostr TGFB Media Podcast Network

What does permaculture have to do with nostr? A lot! Jon and Scott talk about communities, self-obsoletion, and abundance mindsets. Scott has many years of experience in permaculture design, and a ton of wisdom to share for how we might be able to apply those principles to nostr development.

Stephen gives Jon a crash course in how to think about technology and its influence on the distribution of power, its use in social contexts, and how technical solutions have to be balanced by other aspects of human society, and circumscribed by the values of a given community.

Jeff helps Jon understand that when it comes to nostr, eCash, TikTok, and bees, it almost always depends.

Jon and Jordan discuss their recent adventures in Africa and Texas, the Top Builder's program, challenges and solutions for Bitcoin adoption in Africa and potential use cases for Nostr in Africa. They introduce a new segment called Parsed Nips which aims to unpack and explore the different nips.

Jordan and Alastair explore the influence of social media platforms on communication, the unpredictability of technology, the challenge of sovereignty in relation to technology, the codependency and temptations of the internet, the role of ethicists in technology, the centralizing and decentralizing nature of the internet, the influence of social media platforms on different generations, the fracturing of attention and the need for slower publishing processes, the challenges and difficulties of TikTok, and the dilemma of participating in social media platforms. In this conversation, Alastair Roberts discusses his book 'Echoes of Exodus' and the patterns found in the Bible. He emphasizes the importance of reading the Bible attentively and looking for patterns, similar to how one would analyze movies or books. The book provides guidance on how to read the Bible in this way and encourages readers to explore the rich meanings within the scriptures. Jordan expresses his appreciation for typological reading and suggests future discussions on the structures of money.
