Agreeability is essential for functioning in a group at any scale. There has to be things that the majority of people don't care to argue about. The courage to stand against the agreeable group for things you do care about isn't the temperament trait disagreeability, it's integrity.

JBP - God is whatever you put in the highest place. It's what you serve if you do good.
This is meant definitonally. It's a metaphysical worldview centered around good and evil. Two things that certainly exist.

Suits know that the first thing you need to do when you enter a new space is build your reputation. Cory spent a lot of time on this. He built a network of podcasters and media who either already had a good reputation in the space, or built one up with his backing. I don't look at this as a good or bad thing, it's a good strategy. What happens next is where it gets interesting. What do you do when you have built up that trust? It feels like Swan is at that point where the next step in the strategy is being implemented.
Telling people not to trust someone is not throwing shade here, it's just good advice.

Beware the rock of wretched lies
Its face is cracked and filled with eyes.
Its roots spread under every tree
And feeds them poison carefully.
It keeps the the husks of blackened wood
Until they fall where once they stood.
And where new life should then replace
The rock decides what takes its place.
Beware the rock of rolling hills
Fed with endless printed bills
A bottomless pit that makes you part
Of its black and twisted heart.
It knows exactly what you think
By making you become the fink
That feeds it with your energy
Until you fall like every tree.
Beware the rock thats black and takes
What every single builder makes
And crushes slowly with its weight
The fruit your labour doth create.
You can't escape its gaping jaws
It owns the ones who make the laws.
And when you try to start anew
It pulls the rug from under you.
Beware the bitcoin etf
That obfuscates the growing left.
The time it chains is yours you see
Because it keeps in custody
The only finite source of truth
Of work youve done til now from youth.
If bitcoin wins then it will fail
And when cumbles all will wail.

My opinion about things being broken in the protocol is as irrelevant as yours, I just don't think weighing in against the good faith builders with the number of followers in your orbit is productive or a good idea.
Sorry to tag you specifically, there are lots of names I could throw out that would fall into the same category. When influencers like yourself get too big for their britches they end up thinking that their opinion is more valuable than it really is. Because of the influence they have over the ignorant followers in their own community, they actually do have a certain (albeit minute) sway over the protocol.
Just like how the longer you've been in the space the more compounding you've seen in both your knowledge and your stack, your feelings of validation and confidence expand as your body of work grows. The problem is, without practical experience in the building of things, you don't have the perspective to back your beliefs or knowledge. I think my analogy around construction is an apt one. I'll try another:
A streamer who streams a particular video game and plays that game really well, and has been playing for years, has a great understanding of the game and how to play it. He also has a considerable influence on what is popular within that game's community. That doesn't mean he knows the first thing about what changes will break that game. Even the devs often don't know, but it requires constant maintenance and actively looking for potential problems in order to find them before they become consequential.
That's why when someone who is able to point out potential problems from a position of practical experience does so, the correct course of action is to investigate, corroborate, collaborate, and eliminate by the least invasive means possible.
Again, sorry to pick on you when i could easily have put another influencer like @npub1qny…95gx or whoever else on the other side of the particular debate that was on my mind.
Merry Christmas

Since you know the breaker is 20 amps and the wire gauge is correct for the circuit, my unsolicited opinion is replace all the receptacles on the circuit with 20 Amp rated (NEMA 5-20R) ones. If you're running that 800w all the time, I'd recommend getting commercial grade receptacles, which you can purchase at any electrical wholesaler.
