seems like there is a fork forming between eth and solana. former is on the whole more idealist, latter more realist.

I think the lesson that you can’t really ever be certain about anything. I think he was using dialectic to prove that point more than anything else.

Yeah totally! You never can know where it comes from as well. I think most people teach from a good place. Maybe this guy was burned by a market perspective he internalised, and it caused him a lot of suffering and he didn’t want others to fall into this trap. But the problem is his trap was completely subjective. But the paradox is then how teach anything at all if nothing is subjective in the end? I think the practical answer is just to teach and get exposed to as many perspectives as possible. And then ditch all of them to just have the experience without any presuppositions about it.

It's deeply philosophical. I think he's implying about the difference between art _purely_ for the sake of expressing something vs. art for the sake of popularity. yes, you can express something you really mean and also have that expression become popular, and make you money in a market. I'd argue this is rare, because of the nature of optimisation. markets optimise. spending much time thinking from a market-first perspective inherently means optimising for popularity. this is at expense of optimising for some kind of inner unique expression (this type of "purity" of love). I think a lot of artists struggle with this, it's a recurring trope. One wants to express themselves fully, but also wants to make a living. I think his opinion isn't wrong, but it isn't true either, it's only his opinion. but I agree that sharing deep opinions to impressionable people (students) gives them a bias. but what doesn't? everything is bias. Schopenhauer would have had a similar take to this guy:

I think good and evil in this context have many definitions, and from every perspective is a different problem/opportunity
