Shoutout to all my exes that were willing to use @RoamResearch to try and resolve our disagreements
Namaste to everyone who ever put in work to try and find out what the hell I was talking bout.
Hopefully the bright side of having hard-mode problem is that solutions will scale
Also much love to everyone in #roamcult who reads my tweets charitably and with assumption of positive intent, and to @EpistemicHope and rationality.org for pioneering work on [[Double Crux]], one of best processes I’ve found for thinking together
And love to Roam team, slow is smooth and smooth is fast — hopefully the things we do today that don’t scale mean we can stay as agile and aligned at 200 people as we were at 2.

We’re hiring.
If you’ve pissed off family members at thanksgiving by attempting to paraphrase their political rants to make sure you understood the logical structure of their political or religious rant... if you have ever broken out a whiteboard at Thanksgiving...
We’re hiring!

Best tools we have today are processes like Non-Violent communication, circling, and authentic relating games.
We need everything we can get if we’re going to figure out how to understand each other tho
“You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life’s procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.”
If you, or anyone you love, is wanting to transition from a bullshit job into tech - and you do not have ton of engineer friends who will mentor you, and ton of experience in teaching yourself hard material, and years to spend wandering interwebs...
I want to start a TikTok. Thinking I’ll start this weekend.
Thinking it would be cool to learn how to translate my ideas and things I can teach into that medium from someone who knows it well, put the interview on YouTube
