Basically I ended up doing ENFP things because I felt like I was going to die if I didn’t, however I was oblivious to MBTI until recently and it’s nice to find out that what I was doing out of desperation didn’t necessarily have to happen that way.
This is a great summary of ENFP that may be harder to find on Google:
It’s like: “We already know these are your strengths, and you can either lean into them or go against them at your own peril”
I haven’t studied that far so I have no idea what that means 😂
From what I’ve read these types are very much hardwired and do not shift over time, but how well you understand yourself is what determines a positive outcome
Hmm when I was mistyped the descriptions felt like a generic horoscope with nothing feeling particularly relevant, but the ENFP descriptions were like frighteningly accurate 😂
Awesome! Something that I learned recently is that I need to have a constant flow of new information/ideas coming in, and that I would start deteriorating without that, and I’ve found that to be very true!
I was mistyped as INFJ/INFP until I took the test above. I wonder if you would get a different result?
This is an incredible Myers-Briggs personality test. I’d love to see your results! I typed as ENFP, and it was extremely eye-opening:
I’d like to be able to pin this if I can:

I spent the morning writing this out in response to a video clip that is timestamped below:
I don't know how the music industry works or what determines which venues you're allowed to play at and how you get distribution etc., but in my view a small handful of individuals who insist on making a difference in disrupting the status quo can at least afford to do so in the long-term (~10 years) by saving in #Bitcoin early and often, and betting on themselves and their own tastes in music or in any other art form.
I do think that social platforms like YouTube and Instagram have helped tremendously in discoverability and finding artists that I would not have found otherwise, but I think the financial support side of things comes back to old school art patronage and individuals who save their own money expressly for this purpose. For me it comes back to 1,000 True Fans by Kevin Kelly or the idea of superfans who do most of the heavy lifting. I think that #Bitcoin is a necessity for this to happen broadly, and that eventually hundreds or thousands of people saving in Bitcoin and sponsoring precisely the kinds of art that they personally want to see in the world will make a huge difference.
That lack of aspiring patrons / Bitcoin-savers is what I think is currently missing in terms of why we aren't seeing a more level playing field in terms of opportunities for financial success in the arts. There simply needs to be more potential patrons with money to spend that they want to dedicate to supporting the arts at an intensely personal level. The more abstract that gets (i.e. relying on institutions or group-think or collectives instead of your own idiosyncratic taste), the less effective the patronage becomes. I go back to Zero to One: What would you do where, if you weren't the one doing it, it wouldn't happen at all?
Just tested it and it took about a minute to load home page, I was going back and forth between relay tab and home
Hey that’s me! Yeah I run into this problem as well. I have been quitting out of Damus once or twice and eventually it starts working again
Tip of the Day: I was looking around trying to figure out how to download videos online when I realized you could just put it on full-screen and screen record it on max volume.
One of the first things I was introduced to was OpenBazaar, and this kind of thing is exponentially more viable now
