I'm so flattered so many people showed up for our debut demo event! More to come in October.
I have lots of ideas on how to improve but, overall, it was a very positive experience :)
Even saw a few peeps walking out together ❤️
The apps weren't working for us either.
So we're building a new way of finding compatible people. What do you think of cancel culture? Are all billionaires evil?
Regardless of what you believe, find others on the same page.

Lifting weights, having a really good job, great relationships with all my colleagues, connecting with people on Twitter, taking responsibility for my happiness, finding a really good therapist...

I also just got out of a serious relationship & moved in with family as a temporary retreat, in a town where I know no one.
I've thought hard about what I want to do with this time off.

@TimBeiko
from
@ethereum
for 's latest issue, Moonshots.
We spoke about Ethereum vs. Bitcoin, Ethereum's latest roadmap (and risks), & the eventuality of ossification.
Not everyone’s a fan of moonshots right now.
In 2022, many groundbreaking startups failed, leaving behind broken teams & millions lost. But that’s exactly why Meridian’s latest issue is on big bets: we need to remember that we're capable of so much more.

It feels like Gen-X levels of normalcy in relationships don't quite exist anymore. The cultural schism has rendered it such that you are either a leftist polyamorous they/them or a reactionary pronatalist trad-right (monogamous *or* wants multiple wives to follow "ev psych").

Coming SOON
so I’ve somehow osmosed the following narrative:
dating apps used to be more humanistic in the days of OkCupid, when you could write long profiles, answer compatibility questions, and search profiles by keyword.
but this was competitively replaced by the attention-eating model

We're opening a waitlist in case spots open up & to notify new peeps when we do our second event.
There might be some no-shows but even 60 ppl, e.g., is a lot.

One thing I learned about
@david_perell
is that he grew up flunking classes, skipping homework, and refusing to touch a book — if the reading was assigned to him.
But he also read the entirety of the Jeppesen Pilot Manual, a 700+ pg. book.

Dating is irrevocably broken and no, I don't think matchmaking is the solution. Being able to even generate a meaningful enough pipeline of prospective matches is the problem. As well as getting people excited enough to agree on using a single protocol.
