Embracing Toxic Education:
My journey to #Nostr
Before I delve into my journey, let me start by admitting that I was once a shitcoiner. It wasn't until I was converted into a Bitcoin maxi rationalist using toxicity when necessary that I found a new path.
To give you some background, I am a human who has endured the turbulent state of Lebanon. This experience has profoundly disgusted me from the fiat mentality. My search for an alternative way of thinking led me to Bitcoin, the only sound money, thanks to the influence of toxic maxis.
Now, let me clarify what I mean by "toxic maxis." These are individuals who passionately advocate for Bitcoin as the only sound money with an aggressive, sometimes off-putting, demeanor. They may come across as abrasive or confrontational, but they often possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. While some people don't need toxicity to learn, many do, just like I needed it to stop being a shitcoiner and understand why Bitcoin only.
You might be wondering why I am writing this and what happened today. I wrote a post about suggesting a UX proposal to increase protection for content creators, without taking into account what Nostr was all about. Just check that post and the comments to understand the story. Yet, this post is about the benefits of toxicity in education.
Toxic maxis, with their deep understanding of Bitcoin, have a unique way of teaching. By not allowing their abrasiveness to deter me, I've been able to learn a great deal from them. In fact, their seemingly harsh demeanor actually pushed me to challenge my own assumptions and think more critically about the topics at hand.
I encourage everyone to remain open to different forms of education and perspectives, even if they seem unconventional or challenging at first. By doing so, you might find that you gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the subject matter. It's crucial to stress that you should not take any feedback personally. Put your emotions aside and digest the constructive commentary from it. Remember, the key is to embrace toxic education without taking it personally.
