When Jony Ive & many of his team left Apple to start their own community, they signed their website with two words:
This captures how I feel about everything. I am either in love with a product or furious at its creators. I love nearly all people in the Ethereum community. But I am furious at 3 of them.
I have so much love for my bright young Padawan. I have so much fury for the old men who try to tell me what to do “on blockchain”.
I love ideas from creators. Opinions make me furious.
Love’s Fury
Love inspires me to create new things. Fury drives me to destroy evil people.
This is what I am like when I feel pure fury:
The creators of EOS are paedophilic rapists who have escaped with relative impunity. This makes me feel white hot fury.
Loving Furiously
The level of love I feel for my San Francisco communities is magical. They all help me and I try to help them. Back On My Feet keeps me in touch with the streets. City Surf Project gets me inside the real schools. SoundProof throws a bunch of banging parties.
The Duality of Love & Fury
This ability to shift between care and rage is not easy to be around. It is not a comfortable state of being. But it is who I am. It is what I am. It is life.
We all know about the power of these feelings.
How often do you feel the love?
How much fury do you have?
That is everything.
