It's not hard to be intellectually honest and negative. Negativity also performs better than optimism on social media. Much harder to be intellectually honest and optimistic with bias for action, willingness to fail, learn, ability to find the appropriate amount of signal in all feedback and then discard remaining noise, and most importantly, not quitting.

Rage quitting social media or quitting your line of argument?

I LOVE those people who are intellectually honest and optimistic. They make you feel like anything is possible. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by those kinds of people in my undergrad but they all moved to SV. Maybe it’s easier to stay that way when you live in Cali 😂

We have a whole generation of people trained to be negative because they know it gets better results on social media and use that negativity to get results in real life, too. Very few people know how to be intellectually honest and optimistic, with a bias for action and a willingness to fail, learn from it, and not quit. Only a tiny percentage of the population has this skill/mindset.

I’d disagree with “it’s not hard”. I think it boils down to ability to acquire a certain level of understanding in the world, enabling intellectual honesty. Being negative is practically a survival instinct, but intellectual honesty is not, it’s acquired. The acquisition of it is on a bar held by institutions and society, in ways that make it hard for certain socio economic classes to reach it, even if it’s freely accessible. Too many are bogged down with just surviving that they don’t ever know how to attain “intellectual honesty”. The rest I definitely agree.

Speaking to me on this one Dan. Agree wholeheartedly. The negativity is laced with a sense of self import and superiority, which is why its so intoxicating to some. Issue is that it rallies the wrong kind of advocates, and generally solves nothing but that person's itch to self satisfy.

A platform has to deliver to its target market; it cannot change its target market but has to change for its target market. If it wants to be positive it has to reward it as that’s the harder work. If it doesn’t do active work against the negative, it will be overcome by it because it’s easier. Just look at how hard it is for a leader of an organisation to keep its own goals focused and keep positive against the entropy of its own people’s thoughts. The problem with pursuing scale is it makes the tent bigger and bigger and starts to have to include the negative as a market segment. Pursuing scale may move the positive goals into conflict with the scale goals. So, you need to know the goal. Positivity or scale?

Most of the the time, intellectual people are not optimistic, feels like they know too much of the world. But hey in the end of the day everything is physics laws.

As important as it is to not quit, it's equally vital to understand when, how and in which direction to pivot.

I believe people know that they have the option of doing good things or bad things. In doing both, there will be an appropriate consequence. Doing good, many times, requires you to spend more energy, but the rewards can be long lasting and very pleasant. Doing bad, many times, doesn’t require much energy, but doing so IRL may have strong consequences. The thing is that on social media, people find a place to do bad things (again, cause it’s easy and requires less effort) and the key difference is that the consequences range from nothing at all to small ones. So in the end, we see many who sadly chose this path, specifically for the fact of the internet being kind of a “land with no rules”. Thankfully, over here, many who have been doing some bad things, like spamming and other stuff like that, have been getting their deserved consequence of a Spammer Label, Mute, Report, Ban, etc.

TLDR Every day is a new chance. Every second even. We learn more from our failures. The issue that persists is holding onto those vs taking them at face value and owning up. We all make mistakes moving forward vs getting stuck in the downward spiral and letting go forgiving ourselves and making sure to own up. It is sometimes and I need to do more often just walk away vs reacting in the moment take a look at the picture from a different perspective breathe and come back to it. (makes it easier online than IRL tho we need to have compassion vs anger when it comes to that too)

I have a whole new respect for having to navigate all the noise to try and determine what is genuine feedback and a good idea versus what is just bullshit and a bad idea.
