HAHAHAHAHA I'M LEARNING HASKELL MOTHERFUCKERS

I should tell my Theory of Knowledge teacher. He should join these circles...

When I was a teenager I wanted to create a socially liberal / fiscally responsible political party.

Giving up on this was actually dumb, and now that the whole "abundance agenda" is coming to pass, I feel a deep satisfaction. Childhood Andrew's dreams are being fulfilled in real time

I propose that all the live players in the world organize and create a CRM

@pee_zombie please tell me who to follow on this website. Everyone is anon and it feels impossible to navigate.

My vibes atm are "relentlessly shitposting my way to Valhalla"

get in bitches, i'm going to become the biggest mastodon poaster of all time

@pee_zombie would love if this became my reputation

When I work for a corporation there's one thought that keeps ringing endlessly through my mind: "this is a waste of my time."

There has been a failure in civic thinking: good civics encompasses both happiness AND productivity, and it should be obvious to any reader that these two things not be mutually exclusive, considering the long history of our species.

This is not what good society looks like, and in what seems to me an ironic joke, we fail to organize a better society, pointing toward the need to maintain "productivity", as if happiness would remove the human need for productive achievement.

Wealth is so ineffectively distributed that in an era with the technology to eliminate material scarcity we have an increasing share of people who feel they don't have enough to provide for their happiness.

happy society is disintegrating before our eyes. Depression rates rise, birth rates fall, people imagine their lives worse than their parents despite the countless miracles of digital technology (near unlimited access to knowledge, art, culture, and other minds that might make life beautiful), animosity is rising.

the values I seek are only attainable in a flourishing society

exceptional institutions "scale" by inspiring society and proving a model

If you think you need VC money to "care about building at scale" you might actually just care about capturing value at scale.

animating individual citizens to found functional social and civic institutions is preeminent in shaping society

My friends and I in New York City have been experimenting with culture and society toward the end of manifesting an abundance-minded cohort of competent, independent, and flourishing citizens who are capable of leading the way toward happiness, love, liberty, creativity, strength, and the pursuit of virtue.

principles of game design apply to social containers, too. Everything we opt into is a game. Everything we have to do is a chore.

Life is multi-faceted, and difficult to navigate. Changing the world starts with understanding yourself.

Li Bing and the creation of a manmade wonder of the world by slowly heating rocks to build the world's greatest ancient irrigation system is an insane story
