@kcimc To clarify: not dismissing the article. Many of the criticisms laid out here are valid. I’m saying moral arguments ALONE are weak. E.g Maybe you’re right, we should end the wars in the Middle East. How’s that going? Get politically motivated. Formulate a plan; build your power.
@kcimc It ends by saying many would call them “naive and unrealistic.” I would. Crypto is successful not because it was moralized, or willed into existence, but because it is compelling. You can’t undo that with a sermon. Rather, you need an even more compelling alternative.
@jongold In college, I wanted to be a titan of industry, like daddy Elon. It still whispers into my ear during the quiet times, it says, “Be like daddy Elon. Sleep under your desk, start your crypto empire, launch your mighty phallus into the sky.” 😭
@xtytyty Also can google some techniques to activate parasympathetic nervous system. It’ll get better in time. I know how uncomfortable it is, but your body is telling you something and that’s what you need to start healing. Hang in there.
@xtytyty Exercise and 1:1 thc:cbd tincture helps me as a palliative. Root cause is usually some unresolved or unconscious fear/trauma. Identifying that will help the most. Therapy works for this and/or talking it out with people you trust.
