Today I tidied up the table and found an old alarm clock, the battery had leaked long ago and it was still sitting there, reluctant to throw away, so I kept it. Every time I see it, I get annoyed. Cutting losses really feels like a breakup; dragging it out and not dealing with it makes you start convincing yourself "just a little longer," ultimately wasting not only time but also your mindset and interest.

Recently, the debate over re-pledging and shared security has flared up again. To put it simply, the returns stack like nesting dolls; no matter how good the outer packaging looks, if the logic inside isn't consistent, it won't last long. My current approach is pretty straightforward: only continue with on-chain data that matches and clearly defines risk boundaries; once I start relying on "vision" to fill the gaps, I treat it like that alarm clock—accept it, discard it, and get a good sleep first.
