Leo, you are making me confused again 😅

@wellbranding All you need is human love, satisfy that and the leak to hold happiness in your life will be sealed.

 

Regarding cryptos, as an engineer I have a different perspective than Leo. I encourage you to keep working in that domain as I see it as the future of money. I don't know the temporality but certainly in the long term there will be no physical money and the digital bank system is a joke. Only decentrilized systems offer a robust framework for real money to happen. Cryptos are the money of the internet era. Your contribution is very meaningful and necessary. Sadly, the way for democratizing the money power-structure has been quickly wraped by the devil, but it will be a win for the people sooner or later. Cryptos will shape a future without banks, how crazy!

I'll desagree with you in this... we yearn for something bigger.

However I do find confusing the Crypto world. Is it what the El Salvador goverment is doing, buying cryptos a good or a bad move?

You have to be careful about how you interpret things I say. You might think I said something which I didn't say.

For example, I didn't say that you should not socialize, not have friends, not pursue money or business, or not work on a technology related to crypto.

I say a lot of things generally, in the abstract. That doesn't mean all of it applies to you or that what you're doing is even what I'm talking about.

Obviously the crypto field is full of scams and nonsense. But saying so does not mean that there is zero legit use of that technology. Maybe you are working in a niche which isn't a scam. Then again, maybe you are fooling yourself about the usefulness of your work. You shouldn't rely on me to determine that. You gotta think for yourself. I speak in generalizations and abstractions. It's up to you to figure how and where these generalizations apply and where they do not.

Much of how humans achieve success IS evil and corrupt. But, again, not everything. There are better and worse ways of doing business and making money. Obviously I'm not against doing legitimate business in alignment with your values. Again, I cannot know whether your business is legit or not, or how corrupt it is.

Corruption is a serious problem that afflicts all of mankind in various ways. Much of it is even unavoidable. Then again, much of it is so excessive that it is avoidable and unnecessary. It just all depends on your specific situation. When I speak of corruption I make broad general claims and explain the principles by which corruption works. It is then up to you to decide what kind of values you wanna live by and how much corruption you're willing to stomach. I have a complex view of corruption. I don't believe that all corruption can be avoided, because it's entangled with your very existence and survival. So I'm realistic about it. I don't expect moral purity from humans.

Becoming conscious of mankind's corruption IS psychologically challenging. That's not a mistake. But you have to be careful not to dwell too much in cynicism because in the end that becomes counter-productive, dysfunctional, and untruthful. You have to find a way to integrate it, not just moralize about it. Blaming everyone for being evil and selfish is not high development. Moralizing is its own trap. Then again, living by higher values is possible.

As I came to understand the extent of mankind's corruption and untruthfulness, yes, I did blackpill/disillusion myself somewhat. That's part of what happens with deep understanding. There's good reason why humans do not do this work. But also, I'm keenly aware that becoming too cynical and blackpilled would be a trap. So this requires balance. I go through phases where I'm more negative and then phases where I'm more positive. It's part of the development process. Especially over the last year I've been through some dark realizations. But that doesn't mean that's some permanent position I occupy. But I have shed many illusions in the last year especially as my understanding of things deepens and becomes more realistic.

It's confusing because actual growth and understanding is happening. This means old views have to be reconsidered and changed. It's easy to not be confused just by not doing any serious expansion of your understanding of reality. That's what most people do. Confusion is a sign that you're actually rethinking things and changing your mind.

Life purpose is still valid and valuable. Corruption is that which will veer you off your highest purpose. So there's a deep connection between these two topics.

Be careful with the "distance yourself from people" thing. That's not something I recommend.

I am not against:

• Business
• Money
• Sex
• Dating
• Socialization

These things have their place and are necessary for most people in their development. Especially young people. Skipping or avoiding these things out of a sense of moral purity is more likely to lead to problems than something great. If I'm negative about these things it's because I've done them and seen through the illusion that they are. Which is different from not doing them out of fear, laziness, discomfort, or whatever.

Thanks, avery clear message and explanation. I will trust my intuition more ; improve my reasoning & maybe won't rush that much, but rather slowly digest new things

Thanks for the support. Yes I do view crypto as an alternative way to do transactions, but not necessarily better. But since it is based on consensus, then the people themselves decide whether adoption will be rapid or will die out. 

Regarding human love, yes that is also source of happiness for me
