@elvismercury was talking about the stress of maintaining or losing his hat recently. Collectivly we give it meaning, though it's sort of meaningless.

Are we starting a revolution?

Did you hide your hat?

reply

What hat?
Seriously, I hide everything right now. I'm talking about how meaningless a hat is, but I still value it. I'm trying to convince myself. Maybe valueless is going too far. It does recognize a certain commitment to SN, I guess.

reply

I'm not saying that you have a hat, or that you've had one longer than anyone else, but if you did have a hat, would you be able to see it while hiding it from others?

reply

Lol are you asking for a friend?

reply

YesπŸ˜€

I am surprised to have made 51 days.
Its gone by so fast!

To each their own.
The hat signifies your own journey.

reply

Yes. Really what I have been thinking about is, I guess depending on your personality, these types of things can gain importance which is illogical, disproportionate, and maybe unhealthy. I'm suspectible to thisπŸ˜€

reply

Not just you, everyone.
Thats why we all strive to keep the hat.

hahah, since last year? a silent revolution πŸ˜‚

be the change! and ppl should't feel bad about losing an imaginary hat.

reply

I have lost mine today after 33 days. Just a bad day yesterday.

reply

How do you feel about it? I guess the correct response would be oh well, no big deal. I think the longer you have been on SN, and the greater your commitment, the more this stuff matters.

reply

No problems, I understand that I was disconnected yesterday. It’s impossible to be online everyday.

reply

You are emotionally healthy, unlike some of usπŸ˜€

reply

Yeah, just ok. By the way , just founded again the hat!! 🀣

reply

I don't understand why the hat should force someone to come here. Is it so important?

reply

I mentioned yesterday that it reminds me of a corporate job where there is some kind of fake status or award that provides no tangible benefit but everyone wants. It's given meaning by the culture.

reply

I noticed that many corporate ppl do love those fancy awards so that they can brag about it and post on socials hahha πŸ˜‚

maybe that's why I happily dropped out of that corporate ladder

reply

Me too. I was done with that early on.

reply

It's a good analogy. The hat only costs a few minutes a day and 100 sats. 🀠

reply

and an unpeaceful mind when you find out you forgot to maintain it or lost it.

but anyways, maybe I should STFU, ppl are free to choose whatever game they want to play.

Cowboy hat = how much you are active on SN.. Just that.

reply

But the hat only shows you the tip of the iceberg, like the news - do you think that's all happening? πŸ‘€
