Exactly!

One line I remember both Stacy and Max Kaiser repeated over and over was that bitcoiners have a "slay your heroes" mindset.

To me, that includes any of them.

I can do the mental gymnastics of why they worship Michael Saylor and Bukele, and anyone else who may go in that list; because to slay a hero you have to have one to begin with.

Someone's words and actions today will make us admire them, love them, etc...

As long as we have the sane and self-edifying understanding that those same people can and will say and/or do something that will disappoint us, we will be OK. Especially if we find ways to hold them accountable within the scope of what we're able.

If we can't succeed at informing and/or convincing someone of their wrong, we must dust our feet and move on.

Tolerance and adaptability go hand in hand.

I understand what nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev 's point was, but learning is NOT a one way street.

My degree was in pedagogy, philosophy, letters, Greek & Latin etymology.

I tutored advanced algebra, calculus, trigonometry, biology, English as a second language and chemistry by the time I was 15.

I had students who were lawyers, doctors, children of lawyers and doctors trying to get their toefl and their SATs high enough to get into US colleges I'd never dream of being able to afford.

Despite the extreme abuses me and both my sisters endured, the three of us were highly functional individuals with what would be deemed high IQs.

But all three do suffer panic attacks, insomnia, my little sister sleep walks a lot, we don't relate with each other well at all, & do struggle with other physical issues. I mention this because a lot folk don't grasp what victimhood is.

Like many compound words out there, it's meaning has been multiplied and people now use any words they want however they like.

We were victims, and depending on how our minds and bodies sync, our night terrors re-victimize us. But there is a place and a time for EVERYTHING under the sun. We're fortunate. Very. To be alive, 1... But also to have anger and even wrath inside us that keep us alive and fighting for ourselves every day.

Learning, as a teacher, as a tutor, and as a student, was never a one sided thing.

For a teacher to teach, they have to learn FROM THEIR STUDENT the tacticality needed for that student to comprehend what is being taught.

I feel like there was only one winner in that interaction between Guy and mystery man. Guy learned to try be more concise. Mystery man learned nothing.

Guy missed the opportunity to also provide mystery man with a teachable moment of his own.

This is solely based on the very limited information of that hidden interaction.

I don't stand to know what Guy feared to lose by standing up for himself or by informing this individual about his abruptness.

There is also that old saying about choosing one's battles. He might have felt he would gain more, and compromised, than if he had informed that individual that they simply had no need to be rude.
