πŸ”₯ mission

When I went to San Francisco, I was startled to discover that I was able to bring strangers together, to help create a context where relationships could form. And I realized that that’s what I want to be doing with my life.

I want to find other kind friendly nerds everywhere, and connect them to each other, and build robust, nourishing communities.

I’ve written about this more extensively on my Patreon page.

Here’s a list of reads I’ve put together about communities.

At the time of writing, my current next steps are…

  1. Continue to grow my Twitter following, and introduce good people to each other
  2. Continue to grow my YouTube subscriptions, and encourage people to have good conversations in the comments
  3. Sell more copies of FRIENDLY AMBITIOUS NERD
  4. Get on more podcasts
  5. Do more research and scholarship on how scenes and cultural institutions developed over the centuries. I’m setting aside US$1,000 as a prize/grant for whoever writes the best blogpost or article in 2021 that helps to serve this.
