RE: Leverage and He Said, Xi Said? Or Worldviews Clash?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Opening your follow-up comment, @meno, I immediately note two things:

  • A quote with no source. Perhaps we can agree on the importance of context? Or not, but I fundamentally do not know what the absence of this represents.
  • No response to my request for your perspective on HSBI. Ditto the above. I do not know what the absence of this represents either.

Whether we have some common ground in more or less agreeing than an absence of communication is nonetheless a form of communication, I cannot say. This form of communication does not provide enough information to even make an educated guess.


If it helps, I will restate here what I wrote in my introduction. I prefer candor. Among other aspects of explaining why, it saves time.

So, I will go beyond quickly writing these two points and say I would personally enjoy meeting a person like you and talking through what we have experienced in life in the real world and how that shapes what we think now about what we are both experiencing. Say, over a cup of coffee in the morning or over a beer in the evening.

My expectation, if that were to happen? On the critical assumption we could at least find agreement in rejecting the "all or nothing" way in which far too much of today's interaction amongst people takes place, we would close the gap in our understanding of each other. As the discussion would proceed from good intentions, on both sides of it.

That said, I may be coming to more or less the end of my choosing to invest time into whatever this virtual world is wanting others to see and understand, in being viewed as a substitute.

Please do not take that personally, as I will credit you with being a man of your word. Succinctly stated as what you do appearing to line up with what you say. I cannot speak for you and your life. I will only speak for mine, in saying this is not only relatively rare, but increasingly so, from my own experience.

Thank you for stopping by and providing some encouragement on that basis alone. 🤝

Regarding HSBI

I think you saw my post about curating people. I think in that manner HSBI is an amazing tool. Over the years, in fact, people have bought for me HSBI units as a way to show appreciation. How could I not be grateful?

But, and this my only contention: Some people abuse the tool. Which is to say, they create a bunch of alt accounts, shitpost and "make money". This does nothing of value for the chain, and i would argue hurts it considerably.

To me, the only solution is good oversight. It could be someone, or it could be AI. But looking into wallet transactions, cashouts (misnomer, but works), and what not. To detect these abusers and ban them from the service.

I read a book called "Utopia for realists". It shaped a lot of my thinking. I believe that people are the economy, and thus we need to take care of people.

Does that answer it a bit?
