"April 27, 1992.
Greetings from Fairbanks! This is the last you shall hear from me, Wayne. Arrived here 2 days ago. It was very difficult to catch rides in the Yukon Territory. But I finally got here.
Please return all mail I receive to the sender. It might be a very long time before I return South. If this adventure proves fatal and you don't ever hear from me again I want you to know you're a great man. I now walk into the wild. Alex."

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;There is a rapture on the lonely shore;There is society, where none intrudes,By the deep sea, and music in its roar:I love not man the less, but Nature more...

People act precious about sharing email addresses, as if we don't already have battle-tested solutions like disposable emails/anonymous email aliases.
Practice good OPSEC. Using easily generated, disposable emails and long, unique passwords—through tools like SimpleLogin and a password manager like ProtonPass or BitWarden—is far more secure than carelessly plugging your one and only NSEC into random alpha/beta/stable apps that haven't passed a single independent security audit.
Using event signers like Amber or extensions like nos2x is better, as it reduces your dependency on 3rd party app security, but all the key/event signers we have have never been subjected to or passed an independent security audit.
Just because something's built on or compatible with Nostr doesn't make it secure, and just because someone is an outstanding developer does not make them a security professional. 99% of app developers are unqualified to audit their own apps—that's why proper security audits cost ~$15K+ and require a team of dedicated specialists.
The reality is: if you your nsec gets doxxed, everything attached to it is doxxed—period. There's no fallback, no way to keep your account and just change compromised login info. This is even more critical for businesses on Nostr and those outsourcing social media management—incompetent/disgruntled ex-employees are a very real threat.
Myself and many others have said time and time again: we need a parent/child key system—with the ability to generate, pause, and deactivate child keys—to match the basic privacy and security that we already have with disposable emails and lengthy unique passwords. The clock is ticking.

When the way prevails in the empire, fleet-footed horses are relegated to ploughing in the fields; When the way does not prevail in the empire, war-horses breed on the border.
There is no crime greater than having too many desires; There is no disaster greater than not being content; There is no misfortune greater than being covetous.
Hence in being content, one will always have enough.
— #Tao Te Ching: Ch 46 (D.C. Lau translation)

Bowhead whales travel vast distances beneath thick ice, and when open water is scarce, they locate the thinnest ice nearby and break through it using the top of their head to create a breathing hole.
