Hey @mrpuzzle, sorry to read that you are angry and disillusioned, perhaps even dejected with some of the behaviour you have encountered. I actually agree that it might be time for a shift in focus of activity and raison d'etre on here - we just can't control what anyone else does! Perhaps the softer version of lifting awareness through example-setting will gradually alter behaviour here as an abundance mindset filters in and people panic less about possible earnings!? And for me, if there is indeed abundance (for me, yes, absolutely 🌟 ), then the scarcity mindset is redundant - ie the scurrying about trying to accumulate - sure can be done and the numbers augment, but creative energy is spent on something that will happen anyway - perhaps slower, but so what, where there is abundance, what's the need to compare stashes, or even to actively go about collecting? These activities become kinda unnecessary IMO, although each to their own and I don't call out anything as right or wrong, good or bad!
And on the point of creative energies, when I read your intro post, I got a really strong sense that you had an excitingly investigative approach which could be applied to absolutely anything - certainly to a far greater variety of (steemit) life than hunting in areas that manifest lower energies. Spending time there is bound to lower your own energies and bring to the surface latent anger etc, no? Just saying supportive things Mr.P., and I mean them. Respect to you 🕉
Hope your spirits lift and I look forward to any future creative-mensa-self-expression!
Namaste.
