Read 11. Ego is NOT the Enemy, by Svetski

Read 11. Ego is NOT the Enemy, by Svetski

Taking a little detour from Bitcoin history, and into Trigger-territory this week.


My latest article, is the first I've done in a LONG time that is not Bitcoin-centric, but life & philosophy centric.


I'm tired of all the "Ego death" myopia out there, spouted by faux philosophers like Ryan Holiday and their brainless acolytes who are simply empty vessels, easily influenced by vague platitudes like "no suffering & no self".


In this essay, I make the case for the necessity of the Ego, and suggest that you as a human, alive with a mind, body & soul, pay this ancient, emergent construct of nature (or gift of God), some respect.


Your Ego is your Character and your Personality.

"Ego Death" is nothing to proud of, nor something top be pursued. If that's your life's mission, you're an immature moron.


I hope this is triggering for those with fragile Egos, and for those who have the strength of character and fortitude of Ego, I hope you find it an argument with merit.
