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

I got this response last week, and it set me off thinking about a lot of this.
There seems like a lot of ability and will around here toward “coordinated action on large scales” and working together to make a corner of the world that this corner of twitter would thrive in,

I am working on this. Well, many of us are. Growing crew of people with vibe like:
There's lots of challenging work to do to untangle yourself on the pathway to coordinated action on large scales, but you can do it! It'll be hard at times but also fun!

But I haven’t really seen convincing embodiments of it or large-scale moves towards it yet.
And I would love to help towards something like that, but with everything so floaty and liminal, I don’t have a good handle on even what skillsets to develop/improve on to help work on it?
