Russo on Nostr: Sometimes it's difficult to talk to people because they are overly sensitive and ...
Sometimes it's difficult to talk to people because they are overly sensitive and can't differentiate between calling someone stupid and calling an idea stupid.
My statement that only foolish people give their keys to third parties isn't directly calling anyone stupid, but it's provocatively suggesting that those who think it's a good idea may not be the most intelligent.
This is similar to when I say that only idiots believe Ethereum is decentralized. I'm not calling anyone an idiot unless they genuinely are.
If you look at my statement, I didn't say to the person, "You're stupid." I just made a subtle jab that the idea is truly foolish.
Daniel, I consider you an intelligent person, and I believe it's not very difficult to understand that being too lenient in accepting stupidity is what has made our society so flawed in various aspects.
