Yeah, I also find it very de-stabilizing and then completely forget my own journey instantly once Iāve reconciled everything and am feeling stable and coherent again.
Itās nice to hear Iām not the only one here who isnāt 99.999 percentile stoically unaffected by this.
I think one way to deal with this is to mainly select for people with these weird dispositions who are unusually good at coping with this.
I think an issue with this is that the other 99% of planet Earth might be good allies to have in this whole āsave the worldā project and could actually get on board if we do community building exceptionally well. On the other hand, maybe this is too big an ask because community building is just really hard and by optimising for inclusivity, we maybe trade-off against other things that we care about possibly even more.
I personally donāt know what the optimal message for community-builders is but I hope we keep having these sorts of conversations. Even if it turns out that there is no good answer, I think itās still worth it on expectation to think hard about this.
If we can guide community-builders better to manage these complexities and nuances, I think weāll be able to create a much stronger ecosystem to help us tackle the worldās most pressing problems.
Also, thank you for navigating through my replies! I really appreciate you taking the time to read them.
I will limit myself to just this one comment so I donāt drown this postās comment thread in any more of my spam. š
