The warrior is a master of both mind AND body.
He is a man of action, which implies a unification of the physical and psychological.
The enemy of excellent is not bad, but average.

If you cannot judge, you cannot decide. If you cannot decide, you are paralysed.
This should help clarify.
Huh?
Your first sentence didn’t make sense.
To be clear: an athlete is looking to WIN, and the best athlete wins based on a set of standards / rules that are set by the game. Athletes opt into whatever sport and its rules - and then they compete for an unequal outcome.
The games that spectators most enjoy are the ones that have a winner and loser, but which were FAIR.
And your second statement sounds like some socialist stupidity.
The athlete clearly deserves way more money than you do. Especially if their talent has created the demand.
That’s also very fair.
It’s not equal, but it’s fair. And that’s what matters.
The government takes almost HALF of what you earn through various taxes.
The government DEVALUES the money you manage to save by printing more out of thin air (inflation).
AND THEY STILL SOMEHOW DONT HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FUCKING CITIZENS.
THIS IS FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING PISSED OFF.

That’s bad. But there’s even greater evil out there:

Fair is about the rules, and their application
Freedom is unfortunately one of the most nebulous and useless measures of all.
Fairness is easier to define. We’ve done it with games since the beginning of time.
"Injustice results as much from treating unequals equally as from treating equals unequally."
— Aristotle, Politics
What people don't realise is that equality is either evil or just plan stupid.
Equality of outcome is obviously retarded. This is what communists believe. But what many people - even on the right - fail to realise, is that equality of opportunity is also retarded (although not as evil).
You can't have it. In order for everyone to have equal opportunity, they'd all need to have the same genetics, the same parents, be born in the same place, at the same time, with the same resources.
You do NOT want equality.
You want fairness. And fairness leads specifically, to inequality.

Growing Nostr is hard. Not because we don't have the tools, but because it requires the hard work of many of us, not just the few. Decentralization is great, however this means that no centralized growth team is going to step in and do the work that's needed. We'll have to rely on a multitude of people to accomplish this. These people will be cultivating and nurturing Nostr's growing ecosystem. They're seeking out unique communities, on-boarding new users, and educating them on the tools at hand, so that new users can create their own spaces on Nostr.
These have been initiatives of mine since the beginning days here. I love building communities, helping people use technology, and speaking about my passions.
Many people across Nostr are working on similar initiatives, trying to #grownostr and foster community. nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa is one of them. We spoke at extent last week about her current project. She volunteered at the Nostr Booth that I organized at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r a few months ago, got purple pilled in the process, and is now planning on doing similar initiatives at three Latin American conferences coming up soon.
I had a conversation with the organizer of LaBitConf in Prague, who expressed a strong interest in having a Nostr presence at his upcoming conference. He asked that I replicate the same level of involvement he witnessed in Prague, including a booth, speakers, panels, and more. He clearly recognized the significance of Nostr and was eager to feature it prominently at his event. Unfortunately, I had to decline, as it’s not feasible for me to attend every conference. However, this is where the strength of the Nostr community comes in—others can step up and make it happen.
This is what Tanja is doing! Check out her project.
