another observation:

i’m driven by a desire to understand, so i often questioned hype openly

over time i saw what i consider intellectual honesty labeled as negativity, esp by people who would benefit from blind hype, so i stopped asking publicly

but asking why or how isn’t negative, it’s how we get better

our society has no respect for the cynic anymore, very important to question stuff, especially whatever people are currently excited about 

disagreement is chill too - quite generative of better outcomes to engage in it I've found!

i am in talks with a mentor to do a perspective session for /beings-club talk topic as of yet undecided but i suggested collaboration and conflict through the lens of them being connected

All my best friends or academic and entrepreneurial (yuck hate that word) mentors have been smart people with strong opinions and we often disagree on stuff  - meaningful disagreement is a sign of trust more than anything else in a lot of these dynamics

genuine curiosity within the midst of disagreement can be a really fruitful way of discovering new ways of seeing too

i have a similar experience, where trust is born of the ability to ask real and honest questions
