[QUOTE="Emoshin, post: 8933010, member: 7040377"] Very much appreciate that! However, I'm 95% sure right now that I am just passing through and probably won't last a week here. To use the previous metaphor, I see this house, full of interesting people passionate about a hobby that I also love very much But in the common room of this house, the general vibe leans pretty heavy to the argumentative side. Maybe it's a kind of survivorship bias here? Those still standing in this common area after x years are the ones who were able and willing to thrive in this kind of dynamic. Everybody else just lurks or eventually scared away, lacking the necessary motivation or traits. That's unfortunate because perhaps if the environment was more mindful and inclusive of progressive discussions, there might have been a more rich and diverse ecosystem of old and new ideas mixing together, which in turn deliver more value for everybody. Instead, is it possible that it feels a bit stagnant or cyclical here - in terms of the kind of arguing going on? That's my just my POV, I could be overthinking it or over-reacting or missing important context! [/QUOTE]
