this is what the Meaning Economy looks like weekly community yoga, meditation, workshops, movie nights, crafts, random retreats to give feedback, nature hikes it's sharing culture, sharing knowledge, sharing the bonds between people.

Think of yourself as an explorer. You cannot find anything new if you are unwilling to leave the shore.

learn to be a better guide. not a tour guide, not a guru or life guide. not a guidance counselor or therapist. a generalist companion for many.

@zxstim Well, not enough interest in Dalat across our attendees. So we've focused on creativity, AI, and more diverse topics. Some do trade and talk about stablecoins, but not aligned with the vision of the community.

@rileybeans_ sorry that you feel that way 🥲 there are small grassroot meetups in ho chi minh as i am there to nudge them everywhere else is kinda meh

hosting tech events with only men in attendance should make you feel eternal shame tech bro "digital nomads" 😑🤢 shameful

“It organizes your files” “It prioritizes your emails” “It tells you insights about your calendar” These are not real things. They are not making you more productive. It is making you an idiot Yes, AI is great. But this is fake productivity. This is dumb. You are being dumb

@erikalee damn

Read this. It's important. It's from a Silicon Valley guy talking about what AI is about to do to us, whether we want it or not. sahajgarg.github.io/blog/cognitive…

Today we're launching ADIN Platform, a place for fund evaluation as infrastructure. One score. One verdict. Every assumption visible. Here's ARK Venture Fund scored at 65%:

I've spent years studying what happens when machines surpass humans on the only four things the economy actually values: Better. Faster. Cheaper. Safer. AI and robotics are crossing all four thresholds simultaneously. When that happens, paying humans becomes economically irrational. Here's what comes next. 🧵

Chengdu is a far better visit than Chongqing! People seem happier, more willing to chat, and walking is way easier.

Labor is going away AND we will all be happier for it.

when visiting a new city you must ride the metro asap

@cameronspirals going to the zoo to see how the other animals are doing

who else up introspectin they shit rn

@sxtvik correct take on the matter ‼️

Moaning about feelings is a great equalizer, it’s how kings inspired their soldiers or founders could inspire their employees to get behind a common mission. Introspection is an even better tool, you should think about your actions and its consequences. When you don’t, you become a shitty person like Marc, devoid of integrity, ethics, or morality, and the companies a16z funds now is a direct reflection of that. Never let the world turn you into Marc.

@Naomi_fromhh exactly

No one can seriously be surprised that these VCs and tech bros think introspection is lame. External wealth 🤝Inner poverty

those who claim they aren't led by their feelings are ironically the most led by their unexamined feelings

@majamediaco omg I was just having this conversation last night (with myself)
