Just remember: your anger and outrage is just some demagogue's tool to manipulate and control you.

Exactly.
#[3] had an excellent interview with Breedlove where he talked about this.
This is exactly what Jason Lowery proved on Bitcoin Twitter when he turned bitcoiners into his free marketing machine simply by blocking people that talked shit about him or people who liked or write supporting comments on tweets complaining about him or his blocking.
The way to have prevented that was to have enough emotional control to ignore it.
Most people don’t.
I do think bitcoiners fall victim to anger and outrage about the systems they are trying to challenge and replace that cause them to under and over-estimate various things. I think bitcoiners over-estimate the chances we are going to see the USD hyperinflate. They over-estimated the chances the SVB collapse was going to bring down the entire fiat banking system. They underestimate how much hard work it's going to be to 10X bitcoin adoption from here.
I'm pretty committed to doing that hard work. But I try to be very honest with myself about how hard that work is going to be. But a lot of people around here think the work is already done and we just have to wait for seven seals of the fiat apocalypse to be opened.
The work hasn’t even started yet honestly
