Is it possible to be a good blogger if you don't have some kind of a chip on your shoulder?

By "blogging" I mean specifically something like the meaningness project, your "gonzo density", manifesto-building etc.

Yeah, chip-on-shoulder is not very workable for that. It can power things like standup, music, entrepreneurship, polemic, journalism, etc. Taleb is a rare longform resentment/spite guy.

At least longform is this way. Pettiness and spite don't really sustain more than a few hundred words usually. It's a convergent, close-ended motive that kills generativity needed to power past ~1500.

Manifestos are a very different medium
