ted (not lasso)

random reflection i havent yet made sense of while im on the metro: service workers are so pleasant and grateful in singapore. every single one. in most American cities, that is the exception and not the rule — at least in my own experience. this furthers my growing belief that the loudest online parts of the U.S. are grossly spoiled and ungrateful for the opportunities we have here. now consider crypto twitter, most of whom are American or in wealthy developed countries where crypto won’t meaningfully change their lives in the same way that it does for those living in emerging economies. can you imagine someone from crypto twitter working a service job and acting not just cordial, but pleasant to everyone they serve? if the answer is no, do you think it is a coincidence that crypto twitter are one of the loudest online parts of the internet (see reference above)? and if the answer is yes, where did you find this gem? please introduce me (us) to whomever you have in mind.

the most entitled and privileged people are always the loudest. i wouldn’t segregate it to just CT and cultural backgrounds plays a big role in this. most asians are more respectful than the average American.

My job might not be a service job but as a physiotherapist, i work several hours daily (a hospital, of course you work with care and respect) and still have to come back to crypto at home. It makes a lot of difference for me here and I definitely do not have the time to act rude or be a nuisance on crypto twitter or anywhere. I have a lot of respect for the other people juggling these two worlds together and being their best self cus i understand how much it means to them

@ted I think it matters where you are. Many areas in the US you have very happy and pleasant service workers. Just look at Chick Fil A. All their workers are so nice!!! Unfortunately I think it’s these large cities that are very badly run where service workers feel the negative impact and it affects their demeanor.

online noise doesn't always represent reality. I agree that gratitude and kindness are essential, regardless of one's background or job.

I was a service worker from 15 - 27 It’s an active decision to not let it get to you Being treated like you don’t exist, or at worst are a stupid servant, is awful But remembering that the people who treat you like shit have to live their whole lives being miserable is the best medicine Have empathy for their pain

Agree that the loudest are often the most falsely entitled, and also believe there is an east/west cultural difference at play. Western philosophy is usually about maximizing individuality, while eastern is about the individual finding their place. Both are valid, and lead to different societies. Some might even say the western focus on individuality is responsible for so many advancements and innovations. It’s a feature not a bug. Personally I think there’s a lot we can learn from eastern philosophy: the entitled people on CT isn’t the problem so much as the cultural backdrop which enables them.

Asian culture emphasizes gratitude from a young age, along with the value of speaking less and doing more. Singapore serves as a window, allowing more people to understand Asia.

I remember in Japan the people cleaning the train would wait by the doors at a station, bowing to everyone who got off before entering. So wholesome and such a simple gesture just made me feel good about the world for 5 minutes!

Hi Ted In my own opinion, people’s behaviors are characterized by their circumstances, cultural backgrounds and many others because they shape the attitudes in people. All the places you mentioned are different and other countries too are different imagine a under developed country with the experiences and lifestyle and difficulties I just feel all these contribute to what you’re saying So overall there is no yes or no
