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

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

This has been on my mind a ton recently, too. The old "rationalists should win" thing. While there's lots that's bad about that meme, there's also something to it. Developing skills that widen the scope of fun and creation and joy we can experience seems like one good grounding

I partly see my guitar quest in this light. Like, okay, I vibe with this thing, it requires real embodied action and training my nervous system - can I do it? Kind of a test and sanity check in addition to just being what I want. All that therapy-ing *does* need to ground out
