where on nostr are there calls for such negotiations to happen here, in a permission list environment? What actions in the world would make this invitation/demand visible to stakeholders such that relevant leaders can’t avoid the call?

Now the Iranians only need to do the inverse: a hard asset demand for delivery of petroleum energy - which seems a constructive framework for renewed economic calculation, opening up avenues for consideration necessitating dialing down time preference - where else would solutions emerge?

This just scratches the surface of folk histories that go back more than half a century (I got started on this today reading the transcript of a session from ‘the first hackers’ conference’ Nov 1984 connected to Steven Levy’s same titled book). Wayne Green and Ed Romney are more names mentioned in the reflections provided by people as book reviews here https://www.amazon.com/Incredible-Secret-Money-Machine-II/product-reviews/1882193652/

“Fundamental Factors Underlying Recent Technological Innovation” by Don Lancaster 2006 begins:
“What are the fundamental underlying "secret" forces that are driving recent technological developments? How can you apply these fundamental factors to your own product designs? Or at the very least, allow you to become enough aware that you can avoid getting done in by them?”
I haven’t read this just yet, but was reminded of the Nostr community after reading A Lodging of Wayfaring Men by Paul A. Rosenberg, as suggested by @Max - and Lancaster, albeit of a more ‘what I can implement right now’ bent (RE his The Incredible Secret Money Machine book about operating a small tech services business), has a similar outsider vibe

And what gets network effects

What's missing are network effects between people. LLMs just brute force this with people's alienated data

The question here is about having a container for everything that has surfaces / edges, ie, a way of exposing an aggregate of structure based on the thorough process of interaction / feedback within a particular topic (& related to what's related m, as well) - which creates a selection effect and forces a convergent process

What's the emergent structure from hypertext which might serve as a sort of global billboard, maybe like a
activation atlas* for the conversations which arise within a topology of all specific niches
Or perhaps more symbolic, wherein the gestalt of the network whole is being addressed by a conversation about how that could (following the voluntarist alignment & discovered best practices for integrating feedback) culminate in something read at a glance, in the same way we can get a gut level impression in the human face(?), or R/Place
Either way, there's this "meme first, explain later"** structuring at play

** Chris Williamson used this in passing (& perhaps he was attributing it to someone else?) - I'd like to credit other where possible (even if it gets cumbersome) - as this is exactly the kind of infrastructure we lack to support the practices I'm advocating being practiced
