 I've been thinking about this for a long time...

I believe the world could benefit by more positivity.

Humans fix this. Not Bitcoin. Not Nostr. Those are tools that we can build and use, but its up to us in HOW we use them and HOW we communicate and HOW we care, to bring about such positive effect.

I also believe that there are no absolutes.  People have many dimensions, and nobody other than that individual knows what is going on in their life at any given time that can affect their world view.  We're all trying to figure it out. I hope we can help each other do so to grow as a species. 
 Depends how you mean positivity. 
Sometimes something can be positive, but it's not immediately obvious. 
Like if you refuse to step in for someone and fight their battles for them, because you believe that they can rise to the challenge. 
At the time somebody might view that as a negative, but later, they will remember that you actually believed in them. 

This probably isn't the kind of thing that you are talking about, I'm just rambling.
