Link to the garbage essay for anyone that wants to read it:
https://kasurian.com/p/twilight-of-mammon
So the strangest thing about the essay is that it presents itself as a critique of the Austrian School, but never really engages Austrian Economics methodology. There is no engagement with praxeology, subjective value, economic calculation, time preference, interventionism, capital theory, or monetary theory. Predictably, the phrase “human action” does not appear once, which is not a small omission when dealing with a school of thought that explicitly grounds economics in purposeful human action under conditions of scarcity. Instead, the essay gives us a very flimsy and sweeping genealogy of neoliberalism, chicago monetarism, IMF, prediction markets, silicon Valley, Yarvin, Milei, Thatcher, Reagan, billionaire tech politics, and specifically "Bitcoin Maximalists", and then places all of it under the broad category of Austrian “market theology.” This makes for a half baked narrative and it does not amount to any semblance of a critique of Austrian methodology.
The largest conceptual problem is that the essay collapses Austrian econ into neoliberalism, and then collapses neoliberalism into the entire post-1971 fiat financial order. This is where the argument becomes deeply unstable. The Austrian tradition, especially the Mises-Rothbard-Hoppe line, has been one of the most radical critics of central banking, fiat money, credit expansion, inflationism, politically manipulated interest rates, and the high time preference modern economy driven by bailout after bailout. Yet the essay repeatedly treats the failures of this fiat order as if they are the natural fruits of Austrian economics itself. This is almost exactly backwards! An Austrian would look at financialization, housing speculation, stagnant wages, IMF debt traps, central bank interventions etc etc and would say that, yes, this is what happens when money is centralized and politicized and credit is severed from real savings and actual real production. I mean, sure, the essay is right to see something deeply corrupt in the current order, but it misidentifies the source of that corruption. The problem is not that markets have been allowed to function too freely (anyone who has experience in starting a business can tell you that this is not the case). The problem is that money, banking, and capital allocation have been captured by state-backed financial institutions and insulated from real market discipline.
This is also why the essay’s treatment of “the market” feels more theological than the Austrian position it is attacking. Austrian econ does not require anyone to worship “the Market” as some kind of oracle that reveals moral truth. The market is simply the emergent result of acting persons making exchanges according to their subjective valuations. Prices communicate information because they condense dispersed knowledge about scarcity, demand, opportunity cost, entrepreneurial judgment, etc. That is not a claim that the market replaces God or that market outcomes determine human worth. It is a claim about the limits of centralized knowledge and the impossibility of rational economic calculation without real prices.
And the author seems to mistake epistemic humility for idolatry. Hayek’s knowledge problem, whatever else one thinks of Hayek’s broader anthropology, is not saying the market is sacred. It is saying that no planner can possess the knowledge embedded in millions of individual choices. It is quite stupid to call this Mammon. That is just the basic reality of scarcity (though I guess this could offend certain modern intellectuals that have a fetish for wanting to organize society by a centralized committee)
Anyway, the essay also leans heavily on guilt by association. Yes, Sarrazin invokes time preference for his racist rhetoric or whatever, and Yarvin does quote Mises and Hoppe, and Milei claims he follows Rothbard (despite him being very pro fiat and a raging pro-war zionist), and Peter Thiel is "pro free markets", and therefore the Austrian School is treated as the common metaphysical root of every unpleasant political development on the right. But this is not an argument, and it is certainly not an argument against Austrian economics. It is a weak and selective political genealogy. Bad or controversial people can use true concepts badly. Time preference, for example, is not an ethnic ranking system. It is a universal category of action. Human beings prefer satisfaction sooner rather than later, all else equal, and different institutional arrangements and applications can raise or lower time preference across society. This is not a "far right" or a racist statement. Sure, time preference could be abused by someone trying to pathologize a population, but the abuse does not invalidate the concept.
In fact, from an Islamic or anti-fiat perspective, time preference is one of the most useful tools for understanding how riba, debt, inflation, and consumer credit systems degrade moral and economic life. If someone weaponizes the concept against Muslims, the answer is not to discard the concept. The answer is to use it properly.
And the Social Darwinism charge is another place where the essay relies more on structural resemblance than actual theoretical engagement. It says Social Darwinism believes nature selects winners, while Austrian economics believes markets select winners, and therefore Austrian economics is basically moral Darwinism. But market selection does not equate to biological selection or racial hierarchy. In Austrian econ, profit and loss are not cosmic judgments about which peoples deserve to exist. They are feedback mechanisms that reveal whether scarce resources are being used in ways that consumers actually value. A failed business does not mean the owner is spiritually inferior. It means he misjudged demand, costs, timing, or competition. I mean there might be places where early liberal and Austrian thinkers used civilizational language that could deserve criticism, maybe, but to move from that to the claim that Austrian economic theory itself is a colonial sorting machine is a very large leap. It attempts to refute a moral claim when no such claim was being made.
And lastly I keep coming back to the suspicious use of “Bitcoin maximalists” which is grouped together with market theology believers alongside New Right populists with hedge-fund and silicon Valley libertarians. It is interesting that the author specifically chose Bitcoin maximalists rather than those involved in crypto, because if there is any group in the broader digital asset world that has consistently criticized financial nihilism, insider games, VC extraction, fiat speculation, Cantillon effects, and the endless casino of tokenized nonsense, it is Bitcoin maximalists. Crypto is much easier to place inside the essay’s critique of Mammon where we do see endless tokens, artificial scarcity, insider allocations, yield schemes, fiat induced financialized hype cycles, and the conversion of everything into speculative instrument. Bitcoin maximalism, at its best, is a rejection of that entire logic! It is a critique of fiat money, not an intensification of it. So the lumping together is revealing.
The essay sees the disorder of the post-1971 financial world, but because it misreads Austrian economics and sound money thinking as the source of the disease, it ends up grouping some of the strongest critics of that system with the very forces they are criticizing. That is the basic problem running through the whole piece, is that it sees real pathologies, but keeps aiming at the wrong target.

Great summary of the ECP. I think that's gotta be easiest and most straightforward way to explain what socialism doesn't work from first principles.

Agreed. Seems like two things need to happen simultaneously. One, new users need to be incentivized to gravitate toward thier cliques (this will require some effort from new user, client can't do this completely). 2, the big cliques need to be broken into sub cliques maybe? But we need to clearly conceptualize what we mean by clique and how that concretely translates into a Nostr thing

I think the algorithms affect perceptions quite a lot. Sure, people on legacy social media (LSM) get to choose who they follow, what they like + retweet, but ultimately it is the platform's algorithm that dictates overall boundary in which those actions take place.
Interesting that you see the "echo chamber" or "CULT" as a bad thing as I'm finding that cyber cult formation is a lot harder to do on LSM like X. Not sure if you're still on LSM but many people complain that they suddenly find that X randomly unfollows people and deliberately doesn't show people that they prefer on the timeline (happens to me frequently). Like LSM deliberately makes it harder to form a tribe or "cyber cult" and prefers for people to just follow + interact with big name influencers. That's what I think nostr can address and fix.
Good point on Nostr clients having covert censorship. This needs to be fought against before nostr just turns into another LSM app.

"Why Medina Eco village?
"...One response to this situation is to see to what extent we can separate from the system and become as autonomous and independent as possible. It is certainly possible to become self- sufficient in food, energy, and housing; many people are doing this. Once a community reaches a certain size, it becomes possible to provide education and healthcare. Once there is a network of such small communities, it becomes possible to have our own money too. What is lacking in many attempts to do this, is an understanding of leadership and authority. As Muslims, we also have that recipe: the example of the first three generations in Madina"

It’s a shame that when Muslims first encounter Bitcoin, the only instinct is to rush toward a halal-haram verdict so it can be traded back into fiat. What should be an encounter with a radically different monetary paradigm is reduced to jurisprudential box checking and the endless search for a ‘permissible’ token to speculate on.
It's like the conversation can only collapse into degenerate trading and compliance theater, like the highest ambition our tradition can muster is finding the cleanest way to participate in the same broken Riba infested system.
What should be a conversation about digital+financial sovereignty, resistance to institutional riba, lowering communal time preference, and reconstructing a viable moral economy through sound money never happens. The project of cultivating an alternative monetary consciousness and laying the ethical foundations for new forms of economic and civilizational coordination in cyber is simply abandoned.

A garage where neighbors fix cars without ASE certification requirements. A kitchen where grandmothers teach cooking without health department interference.

Each tiny zone of autonomy teaches lessons, builds networks, and demonstrates possibilities that inspire others to claim their own freedoms."

Understand that influencers on legacy social media are structurally incapable of thinking outside their slop based monetization loop. Their incentives have atrophied their imagination and their will.
They neither value nor can meaningfully comprehend personal sovereignty. Even the loudly anti-Zionist ones. They would rather plead for engagement scraps from technocratic gatekeepers than reclaim an inch of personal agency.
Trying to onboard these people to Nostr is pure wasted effort. They are the absolute worst candidates for nostr pilling.

I actually agree with you in it is a biomass problem in the sense that the default human state tends toward low effort engagement. That’s not new and no platform can fix that. But I believe that legacy social media weaponizes biomass behavior. It systematically amplifies noise and compresses everything into slopified formats. Over time this produces more biomass content by making serious discourse costly and shallow discourse profitable. Dawah becomes a commodity optimized for attention extraction so much so that what passes today as “academic” Islamic discourse would still look like slop to scholars of the past.
Yeah Nostr doesn’t eliminate biomass and it doesn’t purify human nature. But what it does is remove the subsidy as there's no algorithm boosting you and no engagement treadmill. So like if someone wants to behave like biomass, they still can, but it becomes costly. You have to actually seek it out, follow it, sustain it without Elon's help (good luck!). At the same time, slower, longer and artistic and more demanding forms of dawah can exist without being punished for not performing. That includes intellectual work but also aesthetic and artistic expression for the sake of Allah (swt), which Dawah Inc has completely flattened. So yes biomass will always be there. The question is whether the entire ecosystem is engineered to serve it, legacy SM says yes, Nostr at least gives us the option to say no.

This is how we fight 👇
"Against the state, the calculus differs fundamentally from defense against ordinary criminals. One does not defeat a modern nation-state through force of arms. The asymmetry is too great, the resources too imbalanced. Those who imagine pitched battles against government forces are entertaining fantasies that will get people killed. Defense against state aggression means delay, deniability, and escape. It means separating evidence from persons at risk, maintaining the ability to relocate operations, and accepting that any fixed installation can eventually be taken. The goal is survival rather than victory, continuity rather than conquest. The Second Realm persists by being too diffuse to crush, too mobile to pin down, and too prepared to surprise."

Bro you're on to something here! I'm a few more episodes in and there's definitely a parallel to Nostr, Bitcoin, and SAIF. The ideas we're engaging with now aren't going to radically transform modern Muslim culture today (which is currently not beautiful) but we can pass these ideas on to the next generations that will carry this forward inshaAllah.

Tbh the core problem with Dawah Inc isn’t “toxicity” in the abstract. Yes polemics existed long before algorithms but the real issue is that modern dawah content is structurally shaped by the attention economy. It is engineered to be bite sized, emotionally spiking, endlessly consumable, not to actually form people to be better Muslims. The incentive isn't geared toward truth or transformation, but clicks, outrage, retention, monetization. That’s why you get endless reminders, recycled controversies, and low signal slop debates. Not because Muslims are uniquely bad obviously, but because the zionist owned platform rewards that behavior. Dawah becomes content, content becomes product, Muslims become traffic. Whether the topic is Islam or sports doesn’t matter.. Everything is flattened.
Yes Nostr doesn’t magically make people sincere, but it removes the machine that manufactures that insincerity. There is no central algorithm that's optimizing for outrage, no external actor tuning incentives or deciding what must go viral. Content exists because users publish it and other users choose to engage with it and zap it, not because a platform needs engagement metrics to sell ads. To me that changes the entire dynamic. Slower long form nonperformative discourse can exist without being punished. 8 hr debates don’t thrive here not because they’re censored, but because real users (you and me) set the tone and pace instead of an algorithm trained to maximize agitation. We're building a space where dawah isn’t structurally coerced into becoming noise. Legacy social media will continue doing what they’re designed to do. Nostr simply allows a parallel space where the incentives are different. That’s the starting point.

2026-01-14 15:01:40 UTC

Sounds like a sovereign individual framework to kickstart network state formation 👇
"The Two Realms framework exploits this caution. Rather than confronting the state or waiting for territorial escape, strong individuals build a second realm that operates alongside the first. The first realm consists of public spaces, state-controlled infrastructure, the official economy with its banking system and tax apparatus, the courts and police and prisons. The second realm consists of private spaces, encrypted communications, alternative monetary systems, and physical locations where those who claim self-sovereignty can meet, trade, and collaborate outside the state's direct oversight."

Synopsis:
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is a historical drama anime about a secret society in 15th-century Europe fighting to prove the heliocentric theory (that the Earth revolves around the Sun) against the powerful, oppressive Church that enforces the geocentric view, exploring themes of scientific discovery, faith, power, and the human pursuit of truth through a multi-generational saga of scholars risking their lives for forbidden knowledge.

BIG NEWS
We're excited to announce the Second Annual Muslim Bitcoin Summit, taking place April 17–19 in Dallas, Texas.
Last year showed there’s a real hunger in our community for serious, grounded conversations about Bitcoin from a Muslim perspective. This year we’re taking it further. The summit will bring together Muslims from around the world who are thinking deeply about Bitcoin, sound money, and what financial sovereignty actually looks like in practice.
Expect thoughtful talks, open discussion, and practical workshops focused on custody, sovereignty, and privacy.
Early bird registration is now open at mslmbtcsummit.com
If last year was any indication, spots won’t last long.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

That's the vision that needs to be communicated more to Nostr devs, users, and outsiders. Think of Nostr as more than just an alternative social media. It is the permissionless substrate for cyber cult formation, from which sovereign local governance and censorship-resistant economic structures will emerge.

Great post. The thoughts seem to be in a good direction.
"I can’t look at someone straight in the eyes and tell them that Primal is the next TikTok or Youtube Killer etc."
Exactly. A Nostr app is a fundamentally different thing compared to TikTok or youtube or Twitter. Can't market it the same way and we should embrace that fact. We should not seek to emulate their hyper attention grabbing incentives and structure because it will end horribly.
Need to think in terms of programming different incentives and priming new users for new outlook. Push them into the direction where they don't want to be a normie anymore. Help them feel good about owning their shit in cyber.

Yeah, the two paradigms of cypherpunk ethics that the author talks about are mostly differences in politics. I think approaching cypherpunk ethics from an islamic framework can synthesize both May's and Assange's conceptions.

😂 This quote really highlights the contrast in attitudes to being cypherpunk:
"While WikiLeaks has excelled among its cypherpunk platform siblings, this has not resulted in Assange receiving admiration from all other cypherpunks. Young accused Assange of being seduced by fame and wealth (Golianopoulos 2010); he also accused WikiLeaks of being in cahoots with the CIA (Assange 2011). Young ended his short tenure on WikiLeaks’ advisory board after Assange notified him of a plan to raise money; in his email, Young wrote, “Fuck your cute hustle and disinformation campaign against legitimate dissent. Same old shit, working for the enemy” (Greenberg 2012, 132). While Young was willing to be part of WikiLeaks for at least a few months, May has expressed his distaste for the politics of WikiLeaks. When asked why May never used his cypherpunk ethics and technical skills in crypto to build a whistleblowing and publishing platform, May explained, “I’m not concerned about things like that. Let the Africans kill each other. I don’t have those kinds of political interests…the idea of trying to be Julian Assange gives me the creeps” (Greenberg 2012, 91). May’s comment captures a fundamental difference between crypto anarchy and crypto justice. Assange uses crypto to push the entire world toward a state of justice, which entails curtailing western imperialism and undermining authoritarianism wherever it maybe, while May is primarily interested in using crypto as arenas of realizing a kind of elite, individualistic—white and western—autonomy."

As you can tell, my post was loosely in response to the remilia update. But I agree with your assessment about needing a mythos. I just think the base layer needs to be resilient enough to allow a mythos to spontaneously form and be sustained in the first place. Can't create a culture (online for example) when the space is permissioned and censored, and thus can't be archived anywhere, thus it can not last. It dies before the next generation arrives to carry it forward.

2026-01-05 16:13:27 UTC

Many people still think the future is something you build by launching a shiny new app/platform/interface and convincing enough people to move in, but I think that instinct misses the real problem.
If the underlying rails are owned, if they are permissioned, or if they are legible to the same institutions that hollowed out the last internet, then all you’ve done is recreate the old world with better aesthetics and a more self-flattering story. Culture and myth are important, sure, but those alone cannot not save you. If the underlying infrastructure can be shut off, throttled, monetized, or “moderated” out of existence, then whatever you’re building is temporary and permissioned, no matter how compelling it feels in the moment.
What actually lasts are movements that understand the necessity of long term memory, economic/social coordination, and exit. Memory can not be outsourced to hostile archivists who will sanitize it later (Wikipedia). Coordination can not depend on platforms that survive by diluting signal (which were distorted to begin with) into slop. And exit can't be a promise deferred to “phase two” in the convoluted roadmap. It has to be native. This is why serious movements always look selective from the outside. Not because they idolize exclusivity, but because coherence requires friction (toxicity). Of course, open doors at the initial stages with no standards end up recreating the same slop timelines. But a shared mission, rigid where it matters and flexible where it doesn’t, is the main outlook that keeps a group from collapsing into endless internal argument or external capture.
That’s why the real work ends up being much more concrete than people expect. It's hard work and it's mostly boring. It looks like taking custody of your money so it can’t be debased, frozen, or moralfagged away, and coordinating with others on protocols that don’t require approval or some kind of brand alignment. It looks like building public spaces that anyone can read but only those willing to actually put skin in the game can meaningfully participate in. Money that settles without intermediaries, and communication that persists without an algorithm deciding who is visible, should be the bare minimum. Identity should be expressed through the hard work of figuring out how to use keys and building local reputation rather than outsourcing operations to zionist owned platforms and obsessing over stupid follower counts. This is less about launching something “new” and more about choosing to build long-term on different rails entirely, then slowly watching a culture spontaneously form around the people willing to live with the discipline those rails demand.
