It's so easy to criticize. Creating something new is hard. Building equals sweating, so if you see someone sweating, err on the side of building them up rather than kicking them down. Encouragement is a superpower. Encourage honestly and emphatically, and you might end up with the world you want to see.

I found it easy to talk shit to the people who didn't understand freedom, liberty and sovereignty. Then i questioned myself why do these folks not understand these topics more deeply? Then i created AxiomsofLiberty to read all the best philosophy of political thoughts to help moee people understand and figure out for themselves what freedom means to them and what ways to implement it in their own lives. As an aside i get to down my own knowledge about the topic so i can better articulate these ideas to others to get them hooked and want to learn more. View quoted note →

I don't want to antagonize client devs who named their product with "-str" or "nos-". I'm just encouraging us to think more deeply about branding, because building with a low time preference requires building for people who will use #nostr without ever knowing what nostr is. It's never too late to rebrand. I'm always available to bounce ideas off. I've worked as the director of web for a marketing agency for 15 years and although I have no formal education in marketing I definitely have a lot of direct exposure to it. I've seen what works and what doesn't. Let's not just build for our early adopters but build for the whole planet. Brand it like the world is watching, because if we're right, they will be.

When I build I don't just sweat, I bleed, and if I reacted to pain and/or failure by crying rather than laughing, tears would likely be a daily occurrence, too. A true Warrior, not an armchair spectator, enters the fray prepared to fail, bleed, and possibly die. Doing so because it needs done, without concern for their personal survival. Building one off prototypes by oneself like this is hard. But coordinating the capital and the people to do so at scale is exponentially more difficult. This applies to the contractual, digital, and virtual realms, as well as the physical. image
