And I post them anyway. I enjoy that challenge. I write them in part *because* they are challenging.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;m putting uncomfortable thoughts into the decentralized Nostr void to anyone who wants to host what I say on their relay.&#xA;&#xA;That&#39;s why I&#39;m here. I&#39;m adding my thoughts to this medium to help advance it. I write here the things I wouldn&#39;t post to the normies on Twitter/X. Only on Nostr do I embrace my weirdness and inappropriateness. I analyzed this ecosystem, and decided that you, and only you, yes you reading this who took the time to be here, deserved to see my real or &#34;based&#34; thoughts to the extent that you care about them. And that includes my weaknesses. I&#39;ve shown those in some of my recent posts, and I&#39;ll continue to show you my weaknesses here. I wrote about the times I got rekt in a fight and cried. I&#39;ll type that kind of thing out here, and only here, on Nostr, again and again.&#xA;&#xA;If I post something intellectually polarizing I start to think, &#34;what would my followers think?&#34; But then I&#39;m immediately like, &#34;I don&#39;t know. Who cares. If they hate my truths here then were they even real my followers to begin with? Maybe they need to be challenged.&#34;&#xA;&#xA;Meanwhile, I *do* care what you all think in aggregate, am willing to disagree with you individually on certain topics, but want to hear your thoughts. And I&#39;m willing to change my views based on you. In fact, many of my Twitter/X posts are there over the past years because I want to see what people comment with before I write my full-on reports. The same is likely true for Nostr. This is raw ground. I want your thoughts. I won&#39;t bend my truths toward you, and I&#39;ll challenge you, as I expect you to challenge me.&#xA;&#xA;So, if someone takes the effort to be on Nostr and some how reads this, I want them in my ecosystem. I want their criticisms as much as their praise. Criticize me here. I&#39;ll enjoy it. Let&#39;s go. You&#39;re awesome.&#xA;&#xA;And then I&#39;m like &#34;What about my business contacts?&#34;  I have like these various billionaire institutional close contacts that are richer than me but have to wear ties to work. But I mean, if they are reading this right now, they are fucking awesome. I think, any of my serious existing business contacts who are cool enough to be here, are likely people I want to continue to work with. If they don&#39;t like what I say, they can bring it up with me. Otherwise they can appreciate my rawness here, and recognize that Nostr is where I post my random thoughts or my deep thoughts, and either of which are my raw thoughts.&#xA;&#xA;My goal is to be real, and to advanced this protocol.&#xA;&#xA;The day that far more people are on Nostr, is the day I will practice more public moderation. Until then, and that&#39;s probably far away, it&#39;s the medium where I will drop f-bombs and describe weird situations and thoughts. Let&#39;s go.&#xA;&#xA;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akPbu6TOx2E&amp;ab_channel=JerisJohnson&#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
