I listened to this conversation on @The Progressive Bitcoiner with @Trey Walsh @Erik Cason and @HODL today. Without a doubt I have been caught up in the left/right squabbling in a way which has not served anybody. Any time I label myself or anyone else with some sort of collective title it leads to hyperbolic divisive discourse which is more akin to fighting ghosts and engaging in straw man debates than it is solving real world issues. I am still working to reframe the way I think and speak about these topics, which may take some time, but I'm glad conversations like this are taking place. It's very healing. @Susie Violet helped me with this a lot as well 🙂

Labels are a shortcut for others to classify you. By applying others' labels you limit yourself. For what gain? To join a tribe and fight pointless fights against another tribe? Not worth it. Defy classification. Avoid tribalism. Just focus on doing you better than you did in the past. 🤙
