"founders are cringe they do bla bla bla" shut the fuck up, they might be cringe but one of those cringe people will make something you never could, and on average they're 100x more valuable for the world than you are

with this i obviously don't mean well-meaning people recommending to spend more time with family

i mean the hyper negative losers who spew negativity online because they're eternal losers, and their only path to success is dragging others down with them

the negativity-people love shaming those who aren't humble. and sure 95% of them are rightfully pointing out that it is indeed cringe

but the secondary effect is that people walk around never showing off or telling people how good they are

gabriel@gabriel1

unnecessary humbleness is information loss. information is the most scarce resource, so it's the worst sin of capital destruction

knowing how to communicate what you are good at when it matters is probably the most low hanging fruit for more human prosperity
