Would you like to be part of my experiment?

There is a type of socializing I really enjoy, that I want to foster.

It’s a slower, more thoughtful interaction with people I find interesting. They often cause me to think differently about the world. They’re weird.

So I started thinking about how I can get more of that. And my experiment is to write about things that I’m thinking about, share them, and encourage you to do the same.

Here are some things I think about:

  • Meditation

  • Cheese

  • Non-Duality

  • Philosophy (some buddhism, some stoicism but not the depressing kind)

  • Art

  • Things that feel genuine

  • Things that make my heart feel stuff

What I’d like to get out of this experiment:

  • encourage myself to write more and learn by writing

  • encourage you to submit your writing or art

  • learn from you and your replies

  • meet more weird friends

  • have you meet my other weird friends

  • have interesting asynchronous conversations with people I like

What I think it could be long term

  • a way to encourage people to follow their creative pursuits

  • an organization that organizes in person events to share and encourage creative projects

  • an organization that funds creative projects (I want you to quit your job and make art)

I feel a bit weird writing this because it’s hard to share ideas that aren’t fully formed. But I am going to do it anyway and hope you will join me.

Thanks for being a weird friend.
