Most of the people I consider really successful - professionally, in life, etc; the kind of success that is about more than money - seem to have tapped into an inner confidence or silenced their self-questioning. They don’t waste much time on anxiety. As a very anxious person, I find it inspiring.

@ben fair, but one needs to balance the "just do things" attitude carefully with the ability to absorb failure's consequences.
Privilege is a deciding factor in making this a viable strategy, which makes judging it as a bro thing also fair.
The startup bro maxim today rather seems to be: "The worst thing thing that can happen is exactly what our product will deliver: total destruction of humanity. Give us your money if you want to be a part of that!"
“You can just do things” is not just a startup bro maxim. It’s also a healthy mindset that encourages you to make, to meet, to put yourself out there, and *not worry about it*. What’s the worst that could happen? Why do you care about what they think of you? Most people could use a bit more of this.
