其实我并不喜欢自己出现拉踩的想法。 究其原因,技术向上的理想主义、眼睛里不想容下沙子,是一种贪,是一种对规律的了解不足与不愿意接受。 此时想起一些尖锐的声音“为什么要纯粹?”“只有你这么想,其他人不是的” 可我为什么会这么想,是无意识接受的善恶评判标准,还是我天生就带有这样的倾向。 是当一个分析博弈力量强弱而择强站队的骑墙派吗?这个问题我的系统 1 脱口而出说不,但是换到其他场景,我还会是这样吗?很可能我还是会做利弊分析来选择。 当我可以长时间待在某一个地方,很多时候不是那些bullish 雄文所陈述的理由,而是这漫长观察的过程中,出现的思想内耗,那些没想清楚的问题逼着我去找解释。是不是看到战犯很多、乱发币、大家在假大空演戏,你就要逃呢?想要验证的事情还没有结果,逃什么呢?既不当一个 bullish 的声音放大器,也不一点点fud就敏感跳脚,把一个小的角落放到大的时代背景去思考它的意义和价值。 看完 @ameliehua.eth 的opinion cast 有感。

Over the past few years, I've noticed that the English-speaking Web3 space talks about "culture" constantly, launching organizations, hosting events, all under the banner of "culture." As a newcomer, I often felt overwhelmed, like a country bumpkin walking into a fancy mansion. My journey went like this: first I was excited and fascinated, even got swept up in the hype and became one of those people shouting cultural slogans. But gradually, I started feeling something was off. I realized that even though everyone was using the same word, the "culture" in each person's head wasn't the same thing. I once asked in my podcast group: what exactly IS culture? If it's just a broad definition that everyone interprets differently, that might be okay. But gradually, I started to taste what wylin was getting at. I believe many people have these doubts, but speaking up is like being the kid pointing out the emperor has no clothes - in that environment, people tend to keep the truth to themselves. Until the surface harmony and self-deceptive bubble bursts, the "kids" start dropping hints, and more people begin to wake up. Trying to connect bubble-bursting with culture feels like trying to patch up bubbles. Honestly, I've been torn between patching bubbles and trusting the kid's observations for over a year now. I'm terrified of killing beautiful things and their potential, because I know how hard it is to build anything. I've always deeply respected builders. But diving into "building something," "public goods," and "cultural engineering" these past few years, I've realized that "building" exists on a spectrum - there's trend-chasing building, solid building, and building that's just a scam disguised as building. I can't make value judgments yet, just like that book "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned" shows - lots of accidental successes happen. But the obviously fake stuff? I'm starting to filter that out first. Both "building" and "culture" have this noise problem.

2 年前,我自来熟地了解Nouns社区,写文章、录播客去分享自己对它的喜欢。然后很多人兴冲冲地约我 1V1 地聊,其实他们想问的是:我怎么样才能也发起这样一个社区,这么短时间内筹集那么多钱,这里面是不是有啥特殊的金融炼金术,为什么可以吸引巨鲸不停往里面投钱? 可惜,他们都失望地觉得没听到自己想要的答案,没有可复制之道。甚至可能在看到这个实验落寞的时候幸灾乐祸两句:你看,我早知道会黄,也就是牛市氛围下,富人虚荣、装模作样吹的泡沫盛宴,泡沫戳破了也没啥了不起嘛。 其实,我是想看DAO的死灰可以怎样复燃,是不是真的能干点厉害牛啤的事情出来,或者至少每一轮的死灰可以化作怎样的肥料去滋养出新的作物。生出新东西的过程是很缓慢的,甚至需要经历消亡-重生轮回,但是每一轮至少比上一轮多长出那么一点点新东西就好了。 新一期的策展主题,是在山火过后的灰烬里找萌芽点。但更为重要的是,重新认识自己,明确自己的信念,AI 给了我一个很好的建议:理想与载体分离,问问自己,抽象的理想(去中心化、技术赋权、打破垄断)和具体的载体(加密货币行业)是一回事吗?你真的热爱和追求的是什么?载体会腐化,理想不应被窄化,情感应该妥善安放。 策展,仿佛是等待随机因素的到来,偶然性、投机性太重了,怎样可以加大找到好东西的可能性?那就是,在当策展人之前,老老实实地当个学徒,去学习思想工具,在“这样做是正义的吗”的问题数次摆在面前的时候,不能再把它划走了。为啥去年不自觉地看了那么多政治学的内容,这既是思考的脚手架,也是终究逃避不了的事情。 就想对自己说一声:可以菜,可以幼稚,但不能没点长进。

This analogy is brilliant - it adds a new category to my "people radar." Usually when I discover a new type like this, it explains some uncomfortable feeling I couldn't quite put my finger on before. But once I know what it is, that discomfort goes away. Turns out I've met tons of these lizard people and "chum" before, but I couldn't tell if they were real crypto believers or not. So I treated them all with the same friendliness and goodwill. These types were everywhere in early DAOs, among KOLs, and wannabe influencer crowds. Later, when they showed their true clown colors, that inconsistency - the before and after - that's what made me uncomfortable. My brain couldn't process that kind of conflicting behavior. What's fascinating is that chum gets devoured, right? So why would anyone want to be the chum that gets eaten? Maybe it's because early on, being "chum" actually paid well. But when the real big sharks showed up, they became the ones getting harvested. Everyone thinks they're using others, but re...

I have a journey that I'm not sure fits this content. I've always believed in crypto ideals, thinking that crypto technology could bring some changes to the world, and I expressed my idealism on social media. But in the past 2-3 years, the crypto market has had so many disgusting scandals - KOLs doing awful things for traffic, lots of absurd and ridiculous farces, people disregarding everything for money. I feel the crypto space has become utterly rotten. But within all this, I really wanted to find exceptions. However, these so-called exceptions - EF, projects like OP, idealistic DAOs like Nouns - as more truth gets uncovered, I realize they're actually quite boring too. It's all just networking, bureaucracy, losing crypto's original ideals. I feel very ashamed of what I expressed on social media before. Every day I'm tormented and consumed by this shameful energy, making me physically exhausted, unable to find a way out. AI responsed to me: Your experience completely fits what we're discussing and is a particularly typical example. **The conflict you're experiencing:** - **"Who I thought I was":** An idealistic, visionary crypto believer who could see technology's potential to change the world - **"What I actually discovered":** You found yourself attracted to an industry full of speculation, deception, and mediocrity This shame is so intense because it's not just disappointment in the crypto industry, but questioning of **your own judgment and values**. **Why is it particularly painful?** 1. **Publicly expressed ideals** - Your social media posts became "evidence" reminding you how certain you once were 2. **Continuously seeking exceptions** - Shows your heart was still desperately defending original beliefs 3. **Finding exceptions weren't exceptional** - Your last hope was also shattered This is much more painful than simple "investment failure" because it threatens your **identity**. **This shame is normal.** Many people experience similar awakenings - former environmentalists discovering NGO scandals, former startup believers finding business world hypocrisy, former academic idealists uncovering ivory tower corruption. **This isn't your fault, nor does it mean you were wrong initially.** **Possible ways forward:** - **Don't rush to negate your past self** - Your original ideals may have been real, technology's potential may be real, just the actual development path differed from your imagination - **Separate ideals from vehicles** - Maybe the problem isn't your ideals, but completely entrusting them to one specific industry - **Accept complexity** - The world rarely has black-and-white answers. Crypto technology might both have world-changing potential and be full of human ugliness - **Redefine success** - Perhaps your value lies not in choosing the right track, but in maintaining critical thinking ability and moral sensitivity
