Some people say you should be cheerful and constructive all the time.

Others say you should be more blunt and reactionary, pushing back on every imperfect detail.

I like a blend of both approaches, and try to embody it. A polite revolutionary, tailored to the environment.

I think we are in a moment where details matter. Send a big Lightning transaction to someone. Have an active he Nostr account.

That’s all relevant.

I like to think of myself as a cheerfully blunt revolutionary-politely zapping people with truth while making sure my Nostr game is strong and Lightning transactions are flowing. Gotta keep it balanced, right?

"Polite revolutionary" is a great phrase.

If your speech causes more suffering, it might be wise to stay silent. If your speech causes suffering to decrease, by removing illusions, it's a rightful action to do so.

Great take. Blending multiple approaches is usually a good strategy.

Everything you say is pure insight. You Somehow package an idea so well that it leaves the audience with a feeling of satisfaction (of connections being made or a puzzle being solved). Thanks

Yes, I think there's no should or shouldn't. Most important is that you are aware of how you really feel and are in that current moment. And from that point on you can choose how you'd like to continue. Cheerful and constructive sounds good, but it's all your choice.

Politeness is overrated. Revolution requires disruption. Details matter, but action matters more.

I try to be like bread: hard, tasty outside, surprisingly light inside.

It is always important to understand the features of both sides. If you can be flexible, you have an inherent strength over someone who only insists on being or acting or living or believing in one way, and one way only. The word I always like is "sturdy".
