Many entrepreneurs and Web3 practitioners admire the culture of certain top companies—such as the work philosophy of pursuing 'no ego,' or the mindset of believing in 'first principles.' It sounds wonderful and rational. But only after trying it will you realize that implementing these two things is incredibly difficult. Why? Because self-esteem, arrogance, and emotionality are not things that can be eliminated simply through rational persuasion. They are deeply ingrained in people's bones. No matter how brilliant the management philosophy, it cannot change those deeply rooted aspects of human nature. Therefore, rather than blindly copying these idealized corporate cultures, it's better to first acknowledge your limitations and then seek breakthroughs based on that foundation.
Human nature isn't so easily transformed by theories.
First principles? Sounds advanced, but in practice, it's all awkward.
Who believes in no ego? Just fooling oneself.
Instead of copying the big companies, it's better to accept that you're just an ordinary person.
That's true clarity.
Human nature is unchangeable. Instead of pretending, it's better to be honest that you're selfish.
Copying the big companies' methods, unless you're also part of a big company, you'll just be out of place.
Ego is like FOMO in the crypto world, it's something you just can't quit.
Top-tier companies speak beautifully, but they have money and people; we don't.
First principles? Let's fill our stomachs first before talking about that.
---
Copying Silicon Valley's methods is long outdated; it's a mismatch with local conditions.
---
Human nature isn't so easily transformed; accepting one's greed is actually more honest.
---
First principles? Most people haven't even thought through the first step, haha.
---
Instead of learning lofty philosophies, it's better to first understand your true self.
---
That's why teams that just copy and paste corporate culture ultimately fail.

Truly great founders are those who first admit defeat, then find a way.
Human nature is something that can't be changed. Relying solely on words and ego is completely useless.
That's why most projects end up rugging, no matter how awesome the team is, they can't withstand the test of pride.
Instead of brainwashing yourself into believing in first principles, it's better to be practical.
The truth is, admitting you're trash actually helps you live longer.
Copying that idealized culture usually ends up in failure.
So, you still need to start from your own human weaknesses and not always think about becoming an immortal or achieving enlightenment.
Ego is something you simply can't quit; everyone is the same.
Copying the big companies' approach will most likely end up being a synonym for "cultural hypocrisy."
Instead of constantly shouting about having no ego, why not just admit that you do have an ego? What can you do?
Human nature can't be changed; you still have to make peace with yourself.
