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.

Entrepreneurship/polemic/journalism is roughly the exact combo I'm going for. Good disentanglement.

Except in the rare cases of actual Count of Monte Cristo style actual revenge against people who provoked the resentment/spite, the emotion is generally an instant-gratification one, like scratching an itch, not an anticipation-based one in striatum circuitry

We should deconstruct "resentment". I mean something like "desire to fight", which seems heart of all writing/shakering.

When I'm fundamentally content, I have 0 desire to fight anything. Anger/rumination/sense of loss get me back to that.

I'm the opposite, A/R/SoL stifles me completely. I can't be generative again till I let go. But that's just me. Fundamentally content is not the same as restful to me. That state makes me randomly curious/exploratory/mind-wandering.
