RE: Some *Brief* Final Thoughts on HBD

in LeoFinance12 days ago

Yeah no I'm just running my mouth off just in case it becomes a thing.
There's really no official word on actually doing this stuff.
But well respected community members vehemently support it and I feel compelled to take the other side of that debate... because nobody else is.

Sort:  

Devils advocate isn't always a bad thing. It shows empathy and that is something we need more of in this world!

I wouldn't call it empathetic but if you want to go nuts. 🤑
At the end of the day I have no doubt that most people here want what's best for Hive.

I think there is a bit of empathy involved if you are doing what you can to see both sides of a situation. It might not be what we traditionally consider empathy, but I think it fits.

yeah I mean it's possible that I could be giving a voice to the voiceless or that standing up to an idea that has a lot of support is "brave" or that doing what I think is best for the network is "selfless"

but I never really thought about it like this... in fact I often like to go the opposite way like doing what I think is best for the network is selfish because it benefits me personally. If capitalism has shown us one thing it's that sustainable flourishing economies has a certain foundation of selfishness and ego attached to them

people gonna people!

They certainly are!
