maybe the next phase of the twitter game is we start businesses together

once upon a time i brainstormed ideas about how to organize a commune with all my dope friends where we could raise children together relatively unimpeded by the demands of normal jobs
and one of my only ideas was that we should be some kind of consulting / coaching agency

like okay you want to pay to talk to us about your problems? we got an alexander technique guy, an energy worker, a business coach, an unlicensed therapist, take your pick
cover all the bases with people with different areas of expertise

main thing i don't like about this idea is that it feels "ungrounded." had a DM conversation with which helped clarify this a lot - i don't want coaching to be the primary thing i do, i want something else more concrete that grounds and tests the coaching

it's like the old "rationalists should have secret identities" - if you're in the job of going meta real hard on human nature or w/e you still need an object-level pursuit that grounds and tests your insights and i don't really know where to look for that yet

there's a real frustration here which is good at tapping into and making explicit - there's so much untapped wealth in our social graph. there are brilliant people who could do brilliant things together, that *make money* in a way that isn't *terrible*

There's so many things I want to make but don't really have the means to do it, and some of them would probably make some money

tell us what the things are! maybe someone else here can help!!!
A sunrise alarm that is very very bright and has slowly changing spectrum to simulate sunrise better. Maybe paired with a programmable space heater for customisable sunrise
Some mechanical keyboard mechanisms
Also some game design philosophies I wanna test out

But, like, I have exactly 0 knowledge of electronics or manufacturing, and I'm very much an amateur coder. I've just got ideas which are apparently cheap (but nonetheless haven't been made into reality and I want them)

i had an idea four or five years ago for a website that would link up homeschooling families to hire a group tutor for their kids
never did anything with it, but in 2020 someone else did
