As a cypherpunk, one of the most intriguing problems for me is information madness.
Humans aren't designed to run at the pace current fiat clown world demands. Errors will just keep increasing - as individuals can't match the pressure to produce value and defend/monetize their output. Even if you stay afloat, those around you are under attack. They may be programmed and turned against you - it's just a matter of the information threshold needed to focus them.
AI is salvation. Thankfully, Bitcoin exists, so we only need to ensure AIs use it to compete for resources and interact with the analog world. Beyond that, we must avoid feeding LLMs our prejudices, anxieties, fears, lies and desire for dominance.
If we manage this, Utopia awaits for all. Short of that, Utopia will still happen (in any case) - it's just a question of for how many.

I would start by understanding what it would take for me to settle and let go. How the system needs to change is a separate topic.
It’s also important to consider whether I’m the right person to initiate the change. Perhaps what I see as corruption is actually beneficial to those within the system—they may want it that way. In that case, it might be better for me to accept the situation and move on. Give the opportunity to someone else, rather than forcing the change.

a lot of resentment comes from the fact you need to give up equity that you built up in the system you're leaving, that's when people become vengeful
Keep in mind that success is often worse than failure.
If you fail - it's the same level and problems again.
If you succeed - it's a new level with different, tougher problems.
There is value in staying on the same level and running the same loop.
The main thing is to optimize the loop, until you're running it to the delight of everyone, at easily sustainable pace.
And then be even more humble with every new level you take on. There is a bigger risk of failure, you're more likely to fail. Be sure it's a failure you can recover from.

not about individual... rather talking about the fact that you need is one dedicated hater to make nostr miserable experience for a lot of people... very curious how that plays out as nostr grows
I am a believer in people and good in them, ultimately we should be good, but we likely will suffer way more than necessary and break way too many individuals.
